 The Herceg Novi 
                      City Archive In 1956 the Archive was 
                      returned to Herceg Novi after being temporarily relocated 
                      to Zadar, Croatia. The Archive was relocated to Zadar by 
                      Italians during the Second World War. The original archive

                      modern equipment and a library open to the public. The oldest 
                      document in the Archive originated in 1685. The library
