Izvleček:
Leta 1951 je bila ustanovljena Evropska skupnost jekla in premoga, ki velja za predhodnico Evropske unije (EU). Do danes je EU razvila številne institucije. Le-te na dnevni ravni ustvarjajo večje količine dokumentarnega gradiva, ki ima pomembno zgodovinsko vrednost za vse državljane EU. V ta namen je v prispevku predstavljena arhivska mreža institucij EU, ki skrbi za tovrstno gradivo in nudi uporabniku vpogled vanj.
Pri raziskavi arhivske mreže institucij EU je bila uporabljena metoda analize že obstoječe literature, arhivskih virov in zakonodaje, ki ureja arhivsko dejavnosti na nadnacionalni ravni. Za boljši vpogled v delovanje arhivske službe pri predstavništvih institucij EU na nacionalni ravni pa je bil izdelan krajši vprašalnik.
Arhivske službe in arhivi so centralizirani znotraj posameznih institucij EU. V namen raziskovanja je bil leta 1984 v Firencah pod okriljem EUI ustanovljen tudi Zgodovinski arhiv EU.
Ta arhiv v nasprotju s slovensko nacionalno zakonodajo pri svojem delu ne opravlja aktivne vloge pri pripravi in prevzemu arhivskega gradiva. V prihodnje bi to bilo potrebno spremeniti.
Ključne besede:
arhivi, arhivska mreža, arhivska služba, arhivsko gradivo, institucije EU
Abstract:
Insight and Analysis of Archival Services of the Institutions of the European Union
In 1951, the European Coal and Steel Community was established, which in 1992 became the European Union. To date, the European Union has developed institutions that create significant amounts of documentary records on a daily basis. These documents are of important historical value for all EU citizens. To this end, the article presents the archival network of EU institutions, which manage their respective archival records and make them available to the public.
The research of the archival network of EU institutions uses the analysis method of existing literature, archival sources, and legislation governing archival activities at the supranational level. A short questionnaire was prepared to provide a better insight into the operations of archival services in the EU institutions and in their representations at the national level.
Archives are centralized within individual EU institutions. For the purpose of providing preservation and access services for historical archives of EU institutions in a single and central location, in 1984 the Historical Archives of the EU was established at the European University Institute in Florence.
According to Slovenian national legislation, the National Archives should have an active role in appraising archival records coming from the producing entity. The Historical Archives of the EU does not have such a role and would need to acquire a role in this process in the future.
