Historijski arhiv Sarajevo
The archive was formed on 3 of May 1948, as Archive of Sarajevo. It was founded by the People's Commitee of Sarajevo (Act I/6491, officialy published on 20th of May 1948).
The Archive of Sarajevo moved on several occasions as many of the sites chosen lacked the necessary conditions for professional and adequate protection of archival records.
Since 1999, the Archive has been stationed in the building at Alipašina 19, but it also has depots in Vrbanjuša and other locations.
The name of the Archive was changed in 1975, when it became the Sarajevo Historical Archives (Istorijski arhiv Sarajevo).
A general guide with information about fonds and collections kept in the Archive can be found in:
*Vodic kroz fondove i zbirke Istorijskog arhiva Sarajevo* (edited by Sejdalija Gušić), Sarajevo 2003.
The Sarajevo Historical Archives are open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The reading room is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
