Representation, Rights, and Identity of Croatia’s Roma Community: Exploring Archival Implication

Roma are among twenty-two national minorities in Croatia. They have lived in Croatian lands since the fourteenth century, but there are few visible and certainly no comprehensive records either about or from them in Croatian cultural heritage institutions. The principles according to which records about Roma and of Roma are collected and preserved within heritage institutions are discussed in terms of their categorization, types of secondary sources and visibility ; as well as results from interviews with members of the Roma community. The paper concludes that what is needed is a more inclusive and proactive documentary approach that takes advantage of all the possibilities supported by existing Croatian archival legislation.
