- Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
- If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
- Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the Family History Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.
Archives[edit | edit source]
National Archives[edit | edit source]
- The Balkan wars as well as the devastation of World War I contributed to an extensive destruction of archives.
- In the period between the two world wars, the state archive in Beograd gathered Macedonian records there. The occupational government during World War II destroyed the archives that had been gathered in Skopje as of that date.
- The Archive of FYROM (Macedonia)was established in 1951. An earthquake destroyed the facility in 1963. In 1969 a new building was completed.[1]
- Records tend to be government administrative records with no genealogical help.
