The Registers Collection of the Zadar State Archives (HR-DAZD-378) currently numbers around 2,400 registers of baptisms (births), marriages and deaths. The Zadar State Archives are currently digitalising them all systematically in our own photographic laboratory, in order to make this valuable, frequently consulted material available online. On our website, the Digital Archive is supplemented daily with new images from the registers.
Before you begin, please look at the inventory of the Registers Collection , which can be found under ‘Finding aids’. There, you can check which registers (by town or parish) are kept in our archives. If one of the volumes listed in the inventory is not available among the online images, that means it has not yet been photographed and uploaded to the website.
Please follow these instructions to view the digital images:
In the tab ‘Search place’, write the name of the town or parish.
- Click on the selected place.
- Select the book by clicking on the camera icon (right).
- Wait for the digital image of the book to open.
- Browse the pages by clicking on the arrow or using the toolbar. Images can be enlarged without the loss of high resolution.
- Enjoy exploring!
