In this paper, the focus will be on the files on archival holdings of fonds and collections and the development of a database, as an aid for their search and use. In this case, the file on an archival fonds or collection contains documentation related to that fonds or collection, which differs in provenance and form. The organization of the abovementioned files and database represents systematic work on creating a comprehensive record on archival records of all fonds and collections stored in the Department for Arranging and Processing of Archival Records of the State Archives in Zagreb for the purpose of achieving permanent and efficient intellectual and physical supervision over said archival holdings. This paper will give an overview of the database and its layout, as well as provide an account of its use in processing of archival records and the possibilities for its further development and upgrade.
