History
editThe Historical Archive "Ras" in Novi Pazar is one of the youngest archival institutions in the Republic of Serbia.[3] It was established on June 26, 1980, by the decision of the Self-Management Interest Community for Culture of the Novi Pazar Municipality, when the Archival Department of the Historical Archive of Kraljevo became an independent archival institution.[3] The archival holdings of the Archive "Ras" are divided into three key periods.[3] Ottoman Period includes a collection of documents in oriental languages, among which the Sidžili of the Novi Pazar Kadija (court records) are of the greatest historiographical significance.[3] 1912–1944 Period includes records such as the books of minutes of the Novi Pazar Municipality (1913–1929) and the fund of the Novi Pazar Gymnasium, which was established in November 1913.[3] Much of the material from this period was destroyed during the Allied bombing of Novi Pazar in 1944.[3] Post-World War II Period features extensive records from local government bodies, courts, educational, cultural, health institutions, and economic entities in the Novi Pazar, Sjenica, and Tutin areas.[3]
