Archives of Yugoslavia (Serbian Cyrillic: Архив Југославије), in Belgrade, Serbia, houses and protects the archival materials produced by state bodies and organizations of Yugoslavia from 1918 to 2006. It currently exists as a cultural institution, museum and library. The Archives' building is located in Senjak, which belongs to a designated cultural-historical area of Topčider, famous for its numerous public and private buildings assigned monument status. It is the most important archive and museum of the history of Yugoslavia.[citation needed]
The Archives of the Yugoslav state were founded in 1950, under the name State Archive of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (FNRJ). Three years later the name was changed to The State Archives of FNRJ, and in 1964, to The Archives of Yugoslavia. It retained this name until 2003, when, as a consequence of the creation of a State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, it was renamed The Archives of Serbia and Montenegro. In 2009, the Serbian government reinstated its previous name and granted it the status of high cultural importance.
