Summary of work of external service of National archives of Međimurje – example of schools

Summary/Abstract: The archival external department is a department in charge of supervision and protection of records outside the archives. It provides professional help and expert opinion on handling registry and archival materials kept by record creators or holders.The external department of the State Archives for Međimurje started to work after the signing of the Demarcation contract with the State Archives in Varaždin on 23rd of September 2008 and since then has been responsible for the implementation of professional supervision of record creators and holders in the međimurje area.This paper presents the number of realized supervisions and related activities of the external service of the State Archives for Medjimurje in the implementation of protection of archives and records in schools in the Međimurje County. The supervisions in school archives were carried out in the period from 27th august 2009 until 28th April 2010, which then included 38 professional supervisions. After the supervisions were completed, it was found that none of the schools was meeting the requirements of keeping records which are required by law and implementing regulations.Today’s image of school archives, as well as meeting the regulations regarding the protection of archives and records, which refer primarily to drafting their own regulations for protection and preservation of records together with special lists with retention periods, regular disposal of records, transferring the records into the archives, education of employees, is quite different, fortunately it is positive because the ordered measures for the protection of records are mainly carried out.Therefore, we can conclude that the importance and need for continuous activity of the external department in the protection of records in schools, but also of other creators, are certainly unquestionable.
