The Аrchives of the Republic of Srpska (ARS)

Thematic domains:

• Research and Innovation

  The ARS is an institution which is based on a special legal framework and it operates as a part of the state administration of the Republic of Srpska. It is entrusted with a dual mandate: the safekeeping of historical archival holdings and the supervision over public record-keeping and records management.

• Education

  The ARS is a part of the ICARUS community. Its employees are internationally active in both professional and academic venues, mostly through historiography and information studies.

• Culture

  The Archives of the Republic of Srpska is an internationally engaged institution which cooperates with many regional and foreign archival and other cultural establishments and associations. 

• Digitalisation

  The Archives of the Republic of Srpska regularly converts archival and library materials into digital format. Part of this work is carried out for the benefit of scientific research and cultural education projects, most often exhibitions, but lately, with the acquisition of the most modern equipment for digitisation and software for archival description, pilot projects of digitisation of smaller or larger units have also been carried out for the purpose of easier accessibility.
