The State Archives institute says on its website that "on the basis of the Parliament resolution of 1643 terrestrial treasurer Ivan Zakmardi de Diankovec gives orders to make a special chest of Kingdom privileges financed by the state."
"Terrestrial acts, charters, laws and privileges, accompanied with the inventory, were kept in there, so it established the foundation of the present" Croatian State Archives.
The monograph by author Maja Pajnić is also translated into English and German.
Also, a new replica of the Chest was presented today. The replica was made by Roman Fraj Sladoljev and will be put on display in the building of the Archives.
Croatian State Archives Days are observed from 17 to 22 October. This year, they are dedicated to the 380th anniversary of the manufacturing of the Chest and to the 110th anniversary of the construction of the building in Marulićev Trg square in Zagreb, which houses the State Archives.
