Sažetak
The work of Komisija za sakupljanje iI očuvanje kulturnih spomenika i starina (The Commission for the Collection and Preservation of Cultural Monuments and Antiquities) (KOMZA) was important for salvaging aristocratic art collections in eastern Croatia after World War II. The salvaged artworks were listed and stored in the local collection centre in Osijek, and after the confiscation were mostly granted to the Museum of Slavonia. This paper describes the basic principles of the Commission's work and how a large part of former aristocratic collections entered museum collections. The importance of the Commission's archives is particularly emphasized, especially in the light of research of the provenance of artworks that were deliberately kept secret during the communist regime. Without researching this material, it would not be possible to establish the origin, authorship, content or historical and artistic value of many artworks in our museums.
