The precious treasure of Vojvodina has been kept and treated in the archives, museums and galleries. The central archive institution is The Archive of Vojvodina, founded in 1926. The written materials on history of Vojvodina, from XVIII century up to now, are kept in approximately 50.000 boxes, 20.000 administrative books and more than 1.000 maps and plans. Two hundred and fifty various funds were put in order, and the micro-filmed archive materials on the region of Vojvodina, presently in the foreign archives, were provided by the exchange. New materials are arriving all the time from the registers. The occupant took away wagons of precious materials during the withdrawal from Vojvodina in World War II, but only a small part of it was returned by the Yugoslav Government requests. Regional archives are in Novi Sad, Zrenjanin, Subotica, Kikinda, Sombor, Sremska Mitrovica, Pancevo, Bela Crkva and Senta. The Serbian Academy of Art and Science Archive in Sremski Karlovci is a former patriarchy-metropolitan archive ceded to the Academy in 1949. The Manuscript Department of the Matica Srpska Society owns rich collections of the hand written letters and photographs of known writers and scientists.
