Izvleček:
Namen prispevka je prikazati in utemeljiti večstranski pomen objave virov kot ene izmed izjemno pomembnih in odgovornih nalog slovenskih javnih arhivov. Posebna pozornost je namenjena predstavitvi pomena tistih virov, ki govorijo o »težkih« temah iz polpretekle zgodovine, kot so holokavst, obdobje druge svetovne vojne in nasilje, ki ji je sledilo, politični procesi in podobno. Mednje sodi tudi arhivsko gradivo iz obdobja med letoma 1941 in 1945 na Slovenskem, v katerem so vojna, okupacija, odpor, revolucija in kolaboracija ustvarili popolno okolje za oblikovanje in neusmiljeno obračunavanje dveh političnih taborov, katerega sence sežejo še v današnji čas. Dokumenti partizanske strani so bili v velikem številu že objavljeni, za celovit vpogled v obravnavano obdobje pa je potrebna tudi objava dokumentov protikomunističnega tabora. Predstavitev nekaterih izmed njih naj bi okrepila zavest o pomenu arhivskih virov kot takih in spodbudila nadaljnje objave.

Abstract:
The Importance of Publishing Sources with an Emphasis on Recent History
The aim of this paper is to show and explain the importance of publishing archival sources for the Slovenian public archives. It is especially important to focus on sources dealing with sensitive issues from recent history, such as the Holocaust, the Second World War and the violence that followed in its wake, political trials and the like. Archival sources pertaining to the period between 1941 and 1945 in Slovenia reveal how in circumstances marked by war, occupation, resistance, revolution and collaboration, the perfect environment emerged for the formation of two political camps and their subsequent ruthless reckoning. The consequences of the latter are still with us today. Most of the materials documenting the partisans' perspective has already been published, but a comprehensive view of the period under discussion requires the publication of documents of the anti-communist camp. Publication of these materials should raise awareness of the importance of archival sources and as such encourage further publications.
