Originea colecției și activitățile culturale reprezentate

• The collection was originally assembled in the Information Centre (INFOSHOP) of the Centre for the Culture of Peace and Non-violence in Ljubljana. The Centre was established in 1989 as the publicly accessible infrastructure of the Movement for the Culture of Peace and Non-violence at the address Mestni trg 13, Ljubljana, Slovenia. This location was also the initial headquarters of the Ljubljana Peace Institute (founded in June 1991). The initial purpose of the public collection (as an open INFOSHOP) was to provide general access to the newsletters and samizdats of partner movements in Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe and overseas. “Partner movements” implied: democratic opposition, peace, anarchist, non-violent, gender, environmental and general human rights movements and campaigns globally. The collection evolved and grew spontaneously, particularly through the extensive involvement of the peace movement members in regional (Alps-Adriatic region), European (.e.g., East-West dialogue group, European Nuclear Disarmament, Helsinki Citizens Assembly….), global (War Resisters International, Global Nuclear Disarmament, International Fellowship of Reconciliation, Helsinki Watch, etc.) and bilateral (action-oriented or solidarity) campaigns.

  In 1989-1993, the collection was open to the public; public access and outreach was the core mission of the Centre for the Culture of Peace and Non-violence and its raison d’ être. The International Institute for Social History from Amsterdam, with Tjebbe van Tijen, embarked on the project of microfilming the collection in 1992. This process was supported by Nace (Ignac) Kalin, who was crucial in structuring the collection. Nace Kalin and Marko Hren also shared the burden of securing the collection after the premises of the Centre at Mestni trg 13 were abandoned in 1993. The collection was then temporarily, for almost two decades, held in Hren's and Kalin's private archives, and then finally turned over to the Peace Institute on the celebration of its 20^th anniversary in 2011.

  When the Peace Institute assumed the collection, it was in a chaotic, disorganised state. An employee of the Peace Institute at the time, Jovana Mihajlović Trbovc, reorganized the collection in its current orderly form in 2014. On that occasion, she put the paper folders in archival registers, added additional folders with miscellaneous documents and publications, and created an electronic (Excel table) catalogue of the collection.

  At the moment, the collection is not in active use for exhibitions, public events, publications or political campaigns. It is available to interested researchers.
