The documents produced in the course of the work of the president of the Republic of Yugoslavia were part of a special archival unit that was processed from the end of the 1960s. After the death of Josip Broz Tito (1980), the position of the president was discontinued and the material created in the period between 1953 and 1980 was incorporated into the Archive of Josip Broz Tito which was established at that time. This material was neither suitably ordered nor accessible to researchers until 2009 when the Archives of Yugoslavia took over the archive of the Office of the President of the Republic from the Museum of Yugoslavia where it was being kept. Since then, this material has been freely and fully accessible to researchers in the Archives of Yugoslavia.
