I – INTRODUCTION
Pursuant
to Article 2, paragraph 1 of the Law on the Implementation of the Decisions of
the Commission to Preserve National Monuments, established pursuant to Annex 8
of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a
“National Monument” is an item of public property proclaimed by the Commission
to Preserve National Monuments to be a National Monument pursuant to Articles V
and VI of Annex 8 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and
Herzegovina and property entered on the Provisional List of National Monuments
of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of BiH no. 33/02) until the
Commission reaches a final decision on its status, as to which there is no time
limit and regardless of whether a petition for the property in question has
been submitted or not.
On 18
February 2009 Izet Šabotić, director of the Tuzla Cantonal Archives, submitted
a petition to designate the movable property of the archive holdings,
collections and library housed in the Tuzla Cantonal Archives in Tuzla as a national
monument.
Pursuant
to the provisions of the law, the Commission proceeded to carry out the
procedure for reaching a final decision to designate the property as a national
monument, pursuant to Article V para. 4 of Annex 8 and Article 35 of the Rules
of Procedure of the Commission to Preserve National Monuments.
Statement of Significance
The
archive material (holdings, collections and library) owned by and safeguarded
in the Tuzla Cantonal Archives constitutes a
valuable cultural, historical and documentary resource of major importance for
the study of matters relating to north-east Bosnia. The earliest material date
from the Ottoman period, and the most recent to the present day. The Archives
possess about 7,500 m¹ of archive material, forming a significant resource for
the study of the history of Bosnia,
and in particular of its north-eastern regions. Along with that of the other
archive institutions in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, the archive material of the
Tuzla Cantonal Archives is of outstanding cultural and historical value. This
valuable collection is housed in unsuitable conditions and is consequently at
risk of physical deterioration.
II – PRELIMINARY PROCEDURE
In the
procedure preceding the adoption of a final decision to proclaim the property a
national monument, the following documentation was inspected:
-
Documentation from the
Historical Archives of Sarajevo on the subject of the procedure
-
Data on the current
condition and use of the property, including a description and photographs,
-
An inspection of the
condition of the property
-
Historical, architectural
and other documentary material on the property, as set out in the bibliography
forming part of this Decision.
The
findings based on the review of the above documentation and the condition of
the site are as follows:
Details of the property
Location
The
National Monument is housed at no. 1 Franjo Leder Street and in three buildings
in the former Dubrave barracks in Tuzla,
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Historical information
The
Archives in Tuzla were founded by Decision of
the Tuzla City Assembly on 1 July 1954, in line with recommendation 37678/53 of
24 January 1954 of the Executive Council of the People’s Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
(NRBiH), with the name Tuzla City Archives. The frequent changes to the
administrative structure of Bosnia and
Herzegovina resulted in changes to the territorial
jurisdiction of the Archives; at first it was the Tuzla City Archives, but it
was soon extended to cover Tuzla County, and then the whole of north-eastern Bosnia,
which consisted of 18 or 19 municipalities after 1962. The Archives still
retain this regional function, with certain territorial changes, particularly
since 1995.
In 1966,
in recognition of its regional function, the Archives were re-registered as the
Tuzla Historical Archives. Just two years later, in mid 1968, the Doboj
Archives were merged with the Tuzla Archives, ceasing to exist as an
independent institution and becoming instead an Archive Collection Centre. This
merger extended the territorial scope of the Tuzla Historical Archives to
another nine municipalities, making 28 in all: Banovići, Bijeljina, Bosanski
Šamac, Bosanski Brod, Bratunac, Brčko, Derventa, Doboj, Gračanica, Gradačac,
Kalesija, Kladanj, Lopare, Lukavac, Maglaj, Modriča, Odžak, Orašje, Srebrenica,
Srebrenik, Šekovići, Teslić, Tešanj, Tuzla,
Ugljevik, Vlasenica, Zvornik and Živinice.
The
merger failed, however, to fulfil expectations, and in late 1973, as a result,
on the initiative of the municipalities in the Doboj region, the Archivists’
Society and the Archive Association of SRBiH, the Tuzla Historical Archives
were split into two separate archive institutions, one in Tuzla and the other in Doboj. From then until
1992 (nominally until 1994), the Tuzla Historical Archives covered 19
municipalities in north-eastern Bosnia – Banovići, Bijeljina, Bratunac, Brčko,
Gračanica, Gradačac, Kalesija, Kladanj, Lopare, Lukavac, Orašje, Srebrenica,
Srebrenik, Šekovići, Tuzla, Ugljevik, Vlasenica, Zvornik and Živinice – a total
area of 6,820 sq.km, or 13.3% of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
From July
1977 to 1994 the Archives operated under the name Tuzla Regional Historical
Archives. With the formation of Tuzla District, the Archives acquired a new
founder and another new name, Historical Archives of Tuzla District, covering
the District, which constituted somewhat less than half of north-eastern Bosnia.
Under the
terms of the November 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, Tuzla District became the
Tuzla-Drina Canton, or Tuzla Canton, covering 13 municipalities: Banovići,
Čelić, Doboj East, Gračanica, Gradačac, Kalesija, Kladanj, Lukavac, Sapna,
Srebrenik, Teočak, Tuzla and Živinice. Until 1999 Tuzla Canton also included Brčko Municipality,
but following the decision of the Arbitration Commission, the municipality was
constituted as Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2002, pursuant to
the 2000 Tuzla Canton Archives Act, the Archives were re-registered as Tuzla
Cantonal Archives, which it retains to this day. All these organizational
changes affecting the Archives prior to its acquiring its present form were the
result of broader social changes, particularly those of an administrative
nature. In fact, every administrative change in north-eastern Bosnia was mirrored in the
Archives, organizationally and as regards its name.
The
Archives’ headquarters is in Tuzla,
in the converted former Grafičar building, which lacks the capacities needed
for the volume of work. The Archives also have storerooms outside the city,
which further hampers normal, effective operations.
The
Archives are currently organized into the following departments:
1. Department
of general legal affairs;
2. Department
for expert supervision and protection of extra-archive archive and registry
material;
3. Department
for the accommodation, use and technical protection of archive material and
book holdings (in excess of 15,000 titles);
4. Department
for the classification and processing of archive material in the Archives;
5. Department
of scientific research, publications, cultural, educational and publicity
affairs
Ever
since their foundation, the Archives have had the status of an institution, a
public body in the domain of culture. This is at its most evident in its
operations relating to the study of our history, culture, economy, architecture
and civil engineering, and other forms of individual and collective action. The
social heritage housed in the storerooms, assembled over the past 55 years, is
an inexhaustible source of knowledge for those researching the past. For the
general public, however, it is also a means of exercising their basic human and
civil rights, as evidence by the number of visitors and of requests received
and fulfilled to provide legally valid certificates, attestations and so on. The
Archives' contribution to the city's cultural life, and that of the state, is
also reflected in the many publications and other editions based on the data it
houses and on its own publishing activities. Many exhibitions of archive
material from the Archives' holdings have been staged for the general public or
for special occasions, though always in line with the Archives' responsibility
towards society as a whole, as an institution safeguarding the collective
memory.
The Tuzla
Cantonal Archives organize a unique event in Bosnia and Herzegovina – an
international conference on Archive Practice. As a result of these conferences,
which have been held from 1998 to 2008, eleven issues of the periodical Arhivska
praksa have been published, and the 2009 international conference on
Archive Practice and issue no. 12 of Arhivska praksa are in preparation.
THE SPECIALIST LIBRARY OF THE TUZLA CANTONAL ARCHIVES
The
library of the Tuzla Cantonal Archives in Tuzla
began operations with the foundation of the Archives, initially only to meet
the needs of the Archives staff, but soon open to the public as well. It is a
specialist reference library only, with no lending facilities.
The
library holdings consist mainly of specialist works (books and periodicals)
dealing with archive studies and history, and with other academic disciplines,
mainly the humanities and social sciences.
Library
items are acquired mainly by purchase, but also by gift, exchange or buy-out.
After 55 years of constant accessions of books and periodicals, the Archives’
library has more than 15,000 codices, catalogued and indexed by the UDC system.
The data is computerized to library standards to facilitate use.
Most of
the books deal with history (general and national), followed by the ancillary
historical disciplines of archaeology, ethnology, palaeography, diplomatic
studies, linguistics, onomastics, heraldry, sphragistics etc. They range from
encyclopaedias, dictionaries and lexicons to studies and monographs, and are
printed in Latin, Cyrillic, arabica [Arabic script adapted to the Bosnian
language] and other scripts, in Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, German,
French, English, Russian, Arabic, Ottoman Turkish and other languages. They
include 67 periodicals and 106 rare monograph books which, since the
destruction during the war of so much of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s book
holdings, are now of particular importance. The majority of the book holdings
of a historiographic nature consists of post-World War II editions from Bosnia and Herzegovina
and from SFR Yugoslavia as a whole. They include collections of published
material for historiographic use from other archives in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Yugoslavia.
The
holdings of works on archive studies (books, studies) cover almost every
publication from Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The production of books in this
field in Bosnia and
Herzegovina is insignificant.
A
significant proportion of the library holdings consists of periodicals. The
Archives hold over 150 titles, of which the most important are periodicals and
journals on history and archive studies, along with official gazettes (from the
Austro-Hungarian period to the present) and other official organs of the
authorities. The Archives also hold a collection of the press from the latter
half of the 19th century to the present, which is of local, regional and
national character and importance.
The
library holdings are in constant use by researchers and the Archives’
specialist staff, as reference works for their professional and research work. Since
1993 in particular, the library has also been used by numerous pupils and
students.

COLLECTIONS
1. Oriental
Collection (1645 – 1911)
Call no. OZ
The
Oriental Collection was formed by the purchase of documents, by gift, and by
photocopying originals from the Oriental Institute in Sarajevo
and the Yugoslav Academy
of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb,
mainly between 1954 and 1972. The oldest document dates from 1645. All the
documents relate to north-eastern Bosnia. Many have been studied and
published in specialist journals, thanks to archivist and orientalist Šaban
Hodžić. In 1980 the collection was classified by type of document, and now has
eight inventory books: rulings of the Shari’ah courts, vakufnamas [deeds
of pious endowment], contracts of sale, tapijas [Tur. tapu –
roughly equivalent to Land Registers], berats [imperial decrees
bestowing rank, position or decoration], firmans [imperial orders or
edicts], bujruldijas [Tur. buyrultu, an order issued by a pasha
or vali], sidžils [Tur. sicil, a court ruling], various

Call no. RPNOBSB
Z
With the
intention of covering the history of the workers’ movement in the Tuzla region as fully as
possible, the county’s socio-political organizations, acting through the
Chronicles Committee, gathered material for the period 1878 to 1945. The County
Chronicles Committee commissioned the Tuzla
revolutionary and publicist Milan Gavrić to carry out much of the research
work, to which end he assembled and classified the material into 19 bound
volumes. In 1963 the Tuzla City Archives took these over from the Chronicles
Committee. The collection thus came into being by assembling original,
transcript and Xerox copies of documents in the Archives of the Central
Committee of the Communist League of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, the Military
History Institute in Belgrade, the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina in
Sarajevo, the Archives of the Central Committee of the Communist League of
Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo, the Museum of the Revolution in Sarajevo,
the Workers’ Movement Institute in Sarajevo, the Museum of Eastern Bosnia in
Tuzla, and so on, and continuing to gather this material is one of the
Archives’ major tasks. The material is classified into 75 series (codices), and
consists of documents relating to the workers’ movement, the Communist Party of
Yugoslavia, the youth movement, mass social organizations, the national
liberation committees, the courts of the NDH [“Independent State of Croatia”],

Z
Zlata and
Dušan Vučkovački, cultural and educational workers, lived for a time in Tuzla before moving to Zagreb, where they died. They had no legal
heirs, and their entire estate was taken over by the Zagreb Red Cross. After
inspecting the material, and with the approval of the Red Cross, given the
cultural aspect of their work, the Tuzla Archives took over part of the
material in 1986, consisting of personal documentation, albums, photographs,

THE JUDICIARY
13. Tuzla County Court
(1884 – 1943)
Call no. KST
In 1882
the Provincial Government issued a decree on the constitution and powers of
county offices and districts in BiH, pursuant to which county offices and
districts were founded. The county offices conducted administrative, financial
and judicial affairs, and were effectively county courts. The county offices,
which were subordinate to the districts, were headed by a county prefect or his
deputy, to whom all other officials were subordinate. As well as heading the
offices, they also ran and supervised the entire operations of the office and
were directly accountable for their work to the relevant district. In 1906 a
further decree by the Provincial Government of BiH led to the establishment of
independent county courts instead of the county offices acting as courts (for
judicial affairs), and county offices dealing with Land Register issues. The
county courts were run by the county judge, who conducted all the court’s
affairs except those pertaining to the Shari’ah. The district courts and their
presidents exercised direct official oversight of the county courts. In 1929,
pursuant to the Law on the Organization of Ordinary Courts in the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the county courts [kotarski sudovi] became
county courts [sreski sudovi](3), retaining the same territorial jurisdiction. Pursuant to the
Legislative Order of the Justice Ministry of NDH on pronouncements by courts
and judges and the use of the pure Croatian language in the courts, issued on
18 April 1941, the former ordinary, county, district and appellate courts were
renamed kotarski sudovi, sudbeni stol and banski stol. The Order
required all judges and parties to use the “pure” Croatian language in all
written and oral communication.
The
material consists of court records relating to civil, custody, probate and
criminal cases and distraints.
The
holding was formed by the Tuzla County Court. The material is incomplete, well
preserved and has been classified on the registry principle. Time frame: 1884 –
1943. 96 boxes, 5 books. Summary inventory.
14. Tuzla County Shari’ah Court
(1899 – 1941)
Call no. KŠST
When the
county offices were set up as courts in 1882 there were also county offices as
shari’ah courts, dealing with matters of shari’ah law. In 1906 a decree by the
Provincial Government for BiH led to the affairs of the county office as
shari’ah court being dealt with by a division of the county court known as the
county shari’ah court. This court had jurisdiction over matters of shari’ah law
(the marital rights of Muslims, probate and the distribution of the estate,
inheritance rights, guardianship of minors, death certificates etc.) The court
was also authorized to certify the signatures of Muslims on all documents. The
senior shari’ah judge adjudicated on matters of shari’ah law ex officio. In
1929, when the Law on the Organization of Ordinary Courts in the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes led to the county courts [kotarski sudovi] becoming
county courts [sreski sudovi], the former county shari’ah court became a
division of the county [sreski] court by the name of county [sreski]
shari’ah court. In 1941, under the NDH, the Ministry of Justice and Religious
Affairs proposed a bill which was adopted as the Legislative Decree on
Amendments to the 1929 Law on the Organization of Shari’ah Courts and Shari’ah Judges,
under the terms of which, alongside every court the area of jurisdiction of
which had a sufficiently large Muslim population to warrant it, a county
shari’ah court would be established as a separate division of the county court.
In the case of areas where such a separate division was not established, the
Ministry would issue an order specifying which county shari’ah court that area
would belong to.
The
material consists of court records pertaining to probate and marital cases,
alimony and acts of the county office as a court.
The
holding was formed by the Tuzla
County Shari’ah Court. The material is incomplete,
is well preserved, and is classified on the registry principle. Time frame:
1899 – 1941. 10 boxes, 2 books. Summary inventory.
15. Tuzla County Court
(1920 – 1941)
Call no. SST
Pursuant
to the Law on the Organization of Ordinary Courts in the Kingdom of Serbs,
Croats and Slovenes, the county court [kotarski sud] was renamed the
county court [sreski sud], retaining the same territorial jurisdiction (Official
Gazette of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes no. 20-X of 25 January
1929). The county court was run by the senior judge, and judicial affairs were
conducted by the individual judges. This was a court of first instance,
handling civil cases, commercial and promissory note affairs, extra-judicial
cases and cases of execution/distraint, maintaining the land register
(hereditament, mortage) records and resolving matters relating to land issues.
Appeals against rulings by the County Court were heard by the District Court,
as the court of second instance, and by the Court of Cassation, as the court of
third instance. Pursuant to the Legislative Order of the Justice Ministry of
NDH on pronouncements by courts and judges and the use of the pure Croatian
language in the courts, issued on 18 April 1941, the former ordinary, county,
district and appellate courts were renamed kotarski sudovi, sudbeni stol
and banski stol. Tuzla County Court ceased operating under the terms of
this Order.
In 1946
the Presidency of the People’s Republic of BiH (NRBiH) passed a Law Abolishing
the Shari’ah Courts in NRBiH, which abolished all the county shari’ah courts
and the Supreme Shari’ah Court,
a division of the Supreme Court of BiH. All cases were henceforth to be heard
by the people’s courts. All the records, archives, registers, inventories and
office equipment of the county shari’ah courts were to be taken over by the
county courts, and the jurisdiction of the Supreme Shari’ah Court would pass to
the Supreme Court of BiH; the sidžils and religious records would pass
to the Ministry of Justice of NRBiH (Official Gazette of NRBiH no. 10/46
and 12/46).
The
material relates to civil, criminal, probate and guardianship cases,
execution/distraints, tax payments and court insurance.
The
holding was formed by Tuzla County Court. The material is incomplete, is well
preserved, and is classified on the registry principle. Time frame: 1920 –
1941. 93 boxes, 4 books. Summary inventory.
16. Tuzla County Shari’ah Court
(1920 – 1945)
Call no. SŠST
Pursuant
to the 1929 Law on the Organization of Shari’ah Courts and Shari’ah Judges in
the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, judicial authority of first instance
was exercised by separate divisions of the county courts known as county
shari’ah courts, while second and final instance judicial authority was
exercised by separate divisions of the courts of appeal known as the Supreme
Shari’ah Court (Official Gazette of the Kingdom of SCS no. 73-XXIX of 28
March 1929). The Tuzla Shari’ah County Court thus began operating. The area of
jurisdiction of the Supreme
Shari’ah Court in Sarajevo
covered the areas of the district courts in Banja Luka,
Bihać, Mostar, Sarajevo, Travnik and Tuzla. Under the terms of
the 1929 Law, a separate division was to be established as a county shari’ah
court in each district court the area of whose jurisdiction had a Muslim
population of at least 5,000. In the case of Muslim family and inheritance
affairs and the affairs of Islamic vakufs [pious endowments], this
separate division of the county court known as the county shari’ah court would
exercise judicial authority of first instance, while authority of second and final
instance would be exercised by separate divisions of the appeal courts known as
the Supreme Shari’ah Court, the area of jurisdiction of which covered the areas
of the district courts. Judicial authority in the county shari’ah court was
exercised by individual shari’ah judges. The head of the county court conducted
the correspondence of the court in administrative matters for the county
shari’ah court, and also supervised the entire operation and personnel of this
separate division. The head of the county could order this division to conduct
affairs not within the jurisdiction of a county shari’ah court. With the
promulgation of the Legislative Order of the Justice Ministry of NDH on
pronouncements by courts and judges and the use of the pure Croatian language
in the courts in 1941, the former ordinary, county, district and appellate
courts were renamed kotarski sudovi, sudbeni stol and banski stol.
The
material consists of probate cases and a list of documents of the registration
office.
The

EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND CULTURE
17. Kreka National
Primary School (1897 –
1950)
Call no. NOŠK
The
primary school in Kreka was established in 1897. The teaching medium was
Serbo-Croatian and German. There were separate sections for boys and girls. The
classes in German were mainly attended by the children of immigrants from the
Monarchy whose mother tongue it was. Later these children were transferred to
the Bosnian section to improve their knowledge of Serbo-Croatian so that they
could pursue their studies at vocational school or grammar school. By decree of
the National Council of the Kingdom
of Serbs, Croats and
Slovenes no. 13.680 of 29 December 1918, the dual language medium was abolished
throughout the country, and this school ceased teaching in German.
In 1922
the national primary school in Kreka was renamed the mixed national primary
school in Tuzla-Kreka, where boys and girls of all confessions were taught. During
the war classes were suspended while the damaged building was undergoing
repairs, and also during various epidemics and when the building was
commandeered to billet enemy troops. In the post-war period the school achieved
remarkable results in raising literacy rates. The school became an eight-grade
school in 1954 when reorganization created two schools out of one: the Third Lower General-Programme Grammar
School in Kreka and the Third Kreka
National Primary
School. From the 1957/57 school year the two
schools again became one, as the Fifth
Kreka Eight-Grade
School, until 1959 when it was renamed
the Franjo Rezač Eight-Grade
School.
The
holding was formed by the Kreka
National Primary
School. The material is incomplete and is well
preserved. Time frame 1897-1950. 6 boxes, 2 books. Summary inventory.
18. Tuzla State
General-Programme Grammar School (1899 – 1968)
Call no. DRGT
The
Grammar School was opened in Tuzla
in 1899 on the initiative of the City Council. In the first school year, two
first-grade streams were set up, but by the 1906/07 school year the Grammar
School had all eight grades. It was attended by pupils who had four years’
primary education, subject to passing an entrance examination in mathematics,
religious studies and their mother tongue. In 1941 the eight-grade
General-Programme Grammar School in Tuzla covered Gračanica, Kladanj, Tuzla and
Vlasenica as well as the municipalities not covered by the Sarajevo grammar
schools – Zvornik, Doboj, Maglaj and Tešanj – for the grades that were not
offered in Derventa (Official Gazette of the Ministry of Education of NDH,
1941). Prior to 1944, the Grammar School had to suspend teaching on account of
the war and falling pupil numbers, but despite the numerous obstacles it faced,
it then began operating again as the Tuzla
State General-Programme
Grammar School. In line
with Directives issued by the Ministry of Education, two grammar school courses
were held in 1945 for the generation that had missed school because of the war.
The
holdings were formed by the Tuzla
National General-Programme
Grammar School. The
material is incomplete and is well preserved. It consists of 71 photocopied
documents relating to the Tuzla
General-Programme Grammar School (1941-1945).

Behrambey Medresa, Tuzla
(1921 – 1948)
Call no. BMT
There is
reference to the medresa in Tuzla
by the name Behrambey Medresa in the 17th century. It was maintained from the
Vakuf of the Behrambey mosque and was a religious high school for Muslims,
providing not only a general education but also classes in the spirit of Islam,
preparing its pupils for possible future occupations as imams, hatibs, and
muallims or religious teachers(4).
In 1871
the medresa building was destroyed by fire, but a new one was built in 1896. Since
the medresa came under the governance of the Ulema medžlis [Council of
Scholars], this body appointed the principal and other teachers, and issued
rules on the enrolment of pupils, the teaching period, the curriculum and so on
by agreement with the Vakuf-Mearif [Vakuf-Educational] Board.
The
medresa was closed from 1914 to 1921. Following the 1929 education reforms the
medresa ceased to be a purely religious school, beginning to teach general
subjects, and in 1933, pursuant to the Decree on the Ranking of Specialist
Schools as Secondary Schools and Faculties (Official Gazette of the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia no. 104-XXX/33), unreformed medresas and all medresas in the
former Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked as equal to two grades of secondary
school. During the war, with the exception of 1941/42, the medresa continued
teaching in the premises of the Jalski mekteb, its own premises being occupied
by German troops. After the war the medresa was abolished by ruling of the
Tuzla City People’s Council in 1949.
The
holdings were formed by the Behrambey medresa in Tuzla. The material is incomplete and is well

20. Tuzla Industrial
School (1926 – 1956)
Call no. IŠT
By
decision of the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Kingdom
of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a
specialist vocational school was set up in Tuzla
in 1926 alongside the Secondary
Technical School.
The new school provided a four-year education and could be attended by pupils
under the age of 14 who had two years’ grammar school or civic school
education. It was designed to produce the skilled workers needed by the Tuzla industrial basin. Practical
courses took places in locksmiths’, blacksmiths’ and mechanics’ workshops under
the supervision of qualified teachers. From 1932 on, a specialist apprentices’
school operated alongside and under the auspices of this school. In 1934, the
Rulebook on Educational Institutions and Vocational Schools whose
school-leaving certificates demonstrate the holder’s skills qualifications for
artisanal work (Official Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia no.
111-XXVIII /34), refers to the State Vocational School in Tuzla. The school had
electrical engineering, lathe operators’ and motor mechanics’ divisions and a
precision engineering division. It operated under a variety of names: the State
Boys’ Artisanal School,
the Boys’ Artisanal
School, and the State
Industrial School of Metallurgy. Schools of this type were under the direct
management of the Ministry of Industry of NRBiH until 1950, when the Government
of NRBiH issued a ruling transferring the industrial and technical schools and
colleges in Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Tuzla to the direct management of the
Ministry of Education, with their entire staff, property and budget credits (Official
Gazette of NRBiH no. 40/50). The State Industrial School of Metallurgy was

(1874 – 1895)
Call no. SPCŠODT
Church-school
communities as focal points for Serbs were already in existence in the Ottoman
period, but were strictly confined to religious matters among their
parishioners. During the Austro-Hungarian period they became major political
players, even though the authorities appointed their teachers and exercised
control over their textbooks. The struggle for church-school autonomy launched
from Sarajevo
and Mostar was embraced by all the church-school communities in BiH, which took
an active part in all the campaigns for church-school autonomy. The material
consists of documents on the internal organization of the community, its
operations and funding, the cultural and educational life of the Serbs of Lower
Tuzla, minutes of meetings, lists of members, appeals, contracts and
agreements, etc.

colliery in Tuzla began operations in 1885,
producing coal for the Salt Factory in Tuzla
and the Soda Factory in Lukavac. Until 1895 it operated as a branch of the Salt
Factory. Later, following increasing interest on the part of the authorities,
new pits were opened up and the extraction of coal increased as production was
modernized. The colliery continued working more or less uninterruptedly during
the wars, and production was stepped up during the period of the Kingdom. The
colliery underwent further modernization and expansion of capacity in the new Yugoslavia. It
also underwent various self-managing transformations.

Call no. ŠUK
Pursuant
to the Forestries Act of 21 December 1929 (Official Gazette of the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia no. 307-CXXXI/29), previous laws governing forestry were not
longer in force. The Forestry Board in Kladanj had been working since 1926 as
part of the Royal Forestries Directorate in Sarajevo. By Decree on the Organization of
the Ministry of Forestry and Mining and branch offices and the management of state
forests and state mining corporations of 23 April 1936 (Official Gazette of
the Kingdom of Yugoslavia no. 99-XXI/36), a Forestries Directorate was set
up in Tuzla. The Decree set a time limit for introducing the new territorial
distribution of all forestry directorates in line with forestry, economic and
transport dictates, and the management of the state forests was to be
transferred from the forestry clerks of the county prefectures to the forestry
authorities that were gradually being formed. The Ministerial Council adopted
and approved the proposal of the Ministry of Forestry and Mining that the
forestry authorities in Brčko, Bijeljina, Tuzla,
Zvornik, Srebrenica, Vlasenica, Kladanj, Han-Pijesak, Olovo, Vozuća,
Zavidovići, Teslić, Derventa and Gračanica should become part of the Forestry
Directorate in Tuzla
(Official Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia no. 174-XLII/36). In
1939, pursuant to the Decree on the Organization of the Ministry of Forestry
and Mining, the Ministerial Council adopted and approved the ruling of the
Ministry of Forestry and Mining on the division of responsibility between the
forestry directorates in Sarajevo and Tuzla (Official
Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia no. 127-XLIII/39). The management of
the forest resources of Kladanj belonged to the Olovo Forestry Authority, with
the cadastral municipalities of Olovo, Musići, Krajšići, Kruševo, Berisalići,
Petrovići, Gurdići, Drecelj, Slivne, Kriva Rijeka and Ponijerka and the Kladanj

of Lower Tuzla Choral Society. It was the first choral society in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It successfully promoted the artistic performance of both religious and secular
choral music, and also had a drama section. Its activities were briefly
suspended on account of the war and shortages of personnel and funds. With the
creation of the NDH on 10 April 1941 the Njeguš Choral Society was banned, and
its property confiscated. Most of the surviving documents relate to 1937, when
the Society celebrated its 50th anniversary. The material was received from

initial idea and preparations for the formation of a firefighting society in
Tuzla date back to 1879, but the society was officially founded in 1883, as
evidence by its Statute, when the Supreme Provincial Government issued a ruling
on 13 March 1883 (no. 4544/I). The Firefighting Society was active at all
times, not even suspending its operations in wartime. Its structure was altered
at various times, in line with political and administrative circumstances. The
first Firefighters’ Federation in Bosnia and
Herzegovina was founded in 1926 in Brčko, and in 1927,
the Federation resolved at its first annual general meeting that its seat
should be in Tuzla.
The Society also included the firefighting units and industrial firefighting
societies of the Soda Factory, Kreka, the Salt Factory and so on.

Vakuf-mearif Commission Tuzla
(1909 – 1949)
Call no. VMPT
In 1885,
pursuant to an Order by the Provincial Government for BiH on the establishment
of interim county vakuf commissions, a county vakuf
council chaired by a kadi was set up in every district and county town. The
council was responsible for surveying and maintaining records of all vakuf
property in the county, overseeing all mosques and vakuf buildings,
participating in the granting of leases of vakuf buildings and supervising
vakuf managers and other vakuf officials. As bodies responsible for providing
information and mediating in the management of Muslim vakuf properties, the
councils were accountable to the Vakuf Commission in Sarajevo. In 1894, in the light of appeals
and the wishes of the Muslim population, the Provincial Government for BiH
issued an Order on Vakuf Management in BiH (Gazette of Laws and Orders for
BiH, 1 august 1894), pursuant to which the Provincial Vakuf Commission in
Sarajevo, as a deliberative and decision-making body, and the Provincial Vakuf
Directorate in Sarajevo, as an executive body, existed to oversee individual
vakufs in BiH and to manage Bosnia and Herzegovina’s vakuf endowments. The county vakuf
commissions, as organs for the various counties, and mutevelijas, as the
managers of individual vakufs, were accountable to the Commission and
Directorate. The Provincial Vakuf Commission consisted of a president, a vakuf
supervisor, a secretary, four members of the Ulema medžlis, two judges from the
Supreme Shari’ah Court
and two Muslim dignitaries from each of the country’s four districts. Each
county town except Sarajevo had a county vakuf
commission, consisting of a shari’ah judge as chair, the imam of one of the
town’s mosques, a muderis [medresa teacher] or hojja [mullah]
from one of the town’s schools, and two Muslim dignitaries from the county as
members. In 1909 Franz Joseph I issued a supreme ruling on the Statute for the
autonomous management of Islamic religious, vakuf and mearif [education]
affairs in BiH, on the basis of which vakuf-mearif management bodies were
defined as džemat [congregation] assemblies, džemat medžlis, county
commissions, the assembly and its committees, and in particular the electoral
bodies for the county assemblies and district electoral committees. The supreme
governing body was the Ulema-medžlis, consisting of the Reis-ul-ulema [Grand
Mufti], as chair, and four members, all of whom had to live in Sarajevo. In 1930 King Aleksandar I
promulgated the Law on the Islamic Religious Community, pursuant to which all
Muslims in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia constitute a single independent Islamic
religious community headed by the Reis-ul-ulema as the supreme religious leader
(Official Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, January 1930). In 1936,
the Law on the Islamic Religious Community of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia listed
the community’s organs: the džemat medžlis, the county vakuf-mearif commission,
the Ulema medžlis in Sarajevo and Skopje, the Vakuf-mearif assembly in Sarajevo
and Skopje with its own bodies, the assembly committees and vakuf directorates,
and the Reis-ul-ulema in Sarajevo with his Privy and General Councils (Official
Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia no. 74-XVI of 31 March 1936). The
complement of these organs and their scope and powers were prescribed by the
Constitution of the Islamic Religious Community, published on 5 November 1936 (Official
Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia no. 256-LXIV). From the religious and
religious-education perspective, the Islamic Religious Community was
represented by the Reis-ul-ulema, the Ulema-medžlis, the Chief and Džemat imam,
and from the vakuf and property perspective, by the Vakuf-mearif Assembly with
its assembly committee and Vakuf Directorate, and the county vakuf-mearif
commissions with the local mutevelija and Džemat medžlis. The 1947 Constitution
of the Islamic Religious Community, was amended on a number of occasions, but

Constitution. The new Constitution unified the competences of the various
institutions into a single body, the Supreme Council of the Islamic Religious
Community for each republic.

Imamate of the Tuzla
džemat (1911 – 1943)
Call no. IDŽT
Pursuant
to the Law on the Islamic Religious Community, promulgated in 1930 by King
Aleksandar I, all Muslims in the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia constitute
a single independent Islamic religious community headed by the Reis-ul-ulema as
the supreme religious leader (Official Gazette of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia,
January 1930). The Constitution of the Islamic Religious Community of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia governed the jurisdiction and
bodies of the Islamic Religious Community (Official Gazette of the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia no. 256-LXIV of 5 November 1936. The Ulema-medžlis appointed
one džemat imam for each džemat [congregation], with one or more assistants
where necessary in the case of larger congregations, who performed all
religious duties in the congregation. The Ulema-medžlis also appointed a chief
imam to supervise the džemat imams for one or more džemats (the number of chief
imams and their area of jurisdiction was prescribed by the Ulema-medžlis by
agreement with the Vakuf-mearif Assembly. The area of the Ulema-medžlis in Sarajevo consisted of six electoral districts: Sarajevo, Tuzla, Banja Luka, Mostar, Bihać
and Travnik. The Tuzla electoral district
covered the counties (commissions) of Tuzla,
Bijeljina, Brčko, Vlasenica, Gradačac, Gračanica, Zvornik, Kladanj, Maglaj,
Srebrenica, Loznica, the Drina valley, Jadar and Osijek. In Tuzla, the Kreka and Solina
collieries and the oil-well in Simin Han were close associated with the Imamate
in its official affairs, since about 2/3 of the workers in these facilities
were Muslims. The Imamate of the Tuzla
džemat was closed down in 1949, pursuant to a ruling by the Tuzla City People’s
Committee.
The
material consists of general archive, applications to convert to Islam,
protocols and registry records.
The
holding was formed by the Imamate of the Tuzla
džemat. The material is incomplete, partly preserved and classified on the
registry principle. Time frame: 1911 – 1943. 2 boxes, 12 books. Summary
inventory.

During
the procedure to designate the collections and holdings of the Tuzla Cantonal
Archives, Tuzla, as a national monument of Bosnia
and Herzegovina the following works were
consulted:

(1) Translator’s
note: generic titles, such as “Journal” or “Transactions,” are translated from
the original; other titles are given in italics.
(2)
Translator’s note: titles are given in italics, untranslated; generic names of
publishers (“Press,” “Publishers,” etc.) are translated, as are bibliographic
details where clear, with the exception of those given in major languages such
as German or French; transliterations are left as in the original version of
this Decision, complete with such features as “f” for “s” and so on.
(3)
Translator’s note: the terminology is difficult to translate adequately. A
kotar was an administrative area usually translated as “county,” and a srez is
usually translated as either “county” or “district.” However, to translate sreski
sud as “county court” would leave no appropriate translation for okružni
sud, from okrug, a district.
(4) Translator’s
note: hatib – preacher, specifically an imam who preaches the Friday and ‘Eid
sermons; mualim – teacher at a mekteb, an Islamic primary school or Qur’an
school
(5) Explanation
of terms from Decision no. 07-6-492/03-1 of 7 October 2003 designating the
historic building of the Mekteb (Mejtef) ibtidaija in Stolac as a national
monument. A mekteb ibtidaija is a Muslim primary religious school, similar
to the old mejtef only in that in both, teaching began with the Arabic
alphabet. The mekteb ibtidaija differs from the old mejtef in that the teachers
were much better qualified, having graduated from the darulmualliminin, the
newly-formed Islamic teacher training college in Sarajevo, and all had the required standard
basic educational qualifications.
(6) The
Commission was provided with details of the new holdings on 20. 11. 2009.
