Browser is used to search within the data on archives kept in
Slovene regional archival institutions.
Browser enables a user to search by full text search, archive plan search,
field search or descriptor search. If the search produces many results (up to 3000) it can be limited in two ways:
by repeated search with more accurate (narrower) determination of search parameters or by transferring results
into working folders and by subsequent search within one or two working folders. Details concerning methods and execution of
individual search forms are available directly in a menu Help. Explanation of selected basic archival terms can be found in a special
Glossary.
A registered user is in position to partially modify
user interface (change of user password, adjustment of field search, number of results per page, etc.) and create one or more
working folders
On the basis of search results archives can be ordered in the reading room of the
chosen archival institution personally, by phone, telefax, e-mail or using a basket.
When placing an order via the Internet the requested data must be typed into electronic order form.
They are only used in processing the order and not for any other purpose. The reading room's employees of the chosen archival institution will
- in accordance to the rules governing the usage of the archives - confirm the receipt of the order and give you further instructions.
The number of results in the basket is limited to 100.
In spite of sistematic data collecting by archival institutions not all searches will have results.
It is because of the fact that the requested data are not yet a part of the electronic system or the data in electronic form are protected in
accordance with protection of personal or other sensitive data. The users are advised always to contact the chosen archival institution in order
to get more information. Contact information can be found in a drop down menu Contacts.
Due to the fact that browser SIRAnet does not enable users to search directly within the database of
The Archives of the Republic of Slovenia, they are advised - when searching within public archives created by government authorities and
other entities under public law which are established by the state and operate nationwide - to click directly on browser of The Archives of the Republic of Slovenia.
