Documents from the Austrian Archives in the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Review of the Agreement and the Restitution of Archival Material

Problematika međunarodnih arhivskih sporazuma i restitucije arhivskoga gradiva općenito u bosanskohercegovačkoj arhivistici do sad nije predstavljala predmet interesa, pa tako ni arhivski pregovori s Austrijom, započeti još nakon raspada Austro-Ugarske Monarhije. Rezultati polučeni na prikupljanju arhivskoga gradiva iz Austrije poznati su tek u općim crtama, a samo arhivsko gradivo, predato Arhivu Bosne i Hercegovine iz bečkih arhiva, do danas je ostalo gotovo nepoznato. Namjera ovog rada je podsjetiti na arhivske pregovore i postigute sporazume Austrije i nekadašnje Jugoslavije o primopredaji arhivskoga gradiva te prikazati neobičnu zbirku arhivskoga gradiva u Arhivu Bosne i Hercegovine stvorenu primopredajama iz bečkih arhiva.Archival agreements and the restitution of archival records are questions that have not been researched in archival science of Bosnia-Herzegovina until now. The archival agreement between Austria and the former Yugoslavia, signed in 1923, identified records to transfer. Half a century after ratification, realization of agreement began. Through the implementation of the archival agreement, the Archives of Bosnia-Herzegovina received significant archival records from the Austrian archives in Vienna. There are various documents from the 14th to 19th centuries, which are a valuable completion but which have remained unknown and unexplored until today, as well as the archival agreement itself
