The ground it holds
Record regions whose registers are filed here, and for which years.
- 1469–1809 Habsburg — Senj a Military Frontier garrison — THE TRAP. Senj was Militärgrenze, administered from Vienna and Graz, not from Croatia's civil counties. Military Frontier material is in the Croatian State Archive and in the Vienna Kriegsarchiv — not where a Croatian county search would look.
- 1809–1813 Napoleonic — Illyrian Provinces
- 1813–1918 Austria–Hungary — Fiume a Hungarian corpus separatum — THE TRAP. Rijeka/Fiume was governed from BUDAPEST, not Vienna or Zagreb, from 1779. Its administrative records are Hungarian — which is why Hungaricana finds them and Croatian catalogues sometimes do not.
- 1918–1943 Italy — Fiume; Sušak to Yugoslavia
- 1943–1945 Adriatisches Küstenland
- 1945–1991 Yugoslavia — SR Croatia
- 1991–2026 Croatia — Primorje-Gorski Kotar
- 1991–2026 Croatia
