E-mail: info@arhiv.hr (with stated subject genealogy) for questions about the registers of births, deaths and marriages, books of armorial bearings or other subjects.

The sources for genealogical researches can be found in a large number of fonds and collections of the Croatian State Archives. The most significant and the most utilized sources on the topic are:

• Collection of Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages

• Over 2,000 registers from the Collection of Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages, ranging from 17th to 20th century.

• Collection of Coat of Arms
• Collection of Copies of Coat of Arms
• Collection of Coat of Arms of the Families of Croatia and Slavonia
• Supplemented microfilms – registers of births, deaths and marriages

The archives also collects data on registers of births, deaths and marriages in the territory of Croatia, so even if we do not hold material relevant for your research you can get general information about the registers of births deaths and marriages: where they are kept, whom to turn to etc.

Regional State Archives

In addition to the Croatian State Archives, there is a network of regional state archives in the Republic of Croatia.
