The Croatian Philosophical Society (CPS) is a professional association of Croatian philosophers based in Zagreb. In the 1960s, the Society launched the Korčula Summer School, as well as publication of the journal Praxis with an international edition and international reputation in the circles of neo-Marxist and analytical philosophers.
After Praxis was extinguished in 1974,  the Society's activities were halted. The CPS was re-activated in the 1980s, when it launched the journal Filozofska istraživanje (Philosophical Research), followed by an international journal Synthesis philosophica. The Society also began publishing the works of contemporary Croatian philosophers. The Society is an operator of the Praxis Journal and Korčula Summer School Collection, which was donated by Ante Lešaja. The CPS has a total of 442 members and has one permanent employee.

The Croatian State Archives (CSA) is the central archival institution in Croatia, which operates not only archival material created by the central state bodies and important national institutions but also material from the personal papers of families and distinguished individuals, as well as that of the Croatian diaspora.  The institutionalisation of CSA goes back to the early modern period, in the seventeenth century, when in 1643 Croatian Parliament decided to store and keep documents and charts of feudal privileges and prerogatives of the Croatian Kingdoms in a special chest. In the nineteenth century, this archive became accessible to the public upon the enactment of the Act on National Archives in Zagreb, stipulating conditions on the use of the content. In the interwar period, during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the archives become an independent institution under the name of the Royal State Archive, which becomes a body separate from the government.

In the communist period, the archive again confirms its independent status. First, it operates under the name of the State Archive of the People’s Republic of Croatia, and from 1962 as the Archive of Croatia. At around that time, various departments for the preservation of archival material were established. In 1962, it was the Documentation Information Centre. In 1979, the Croatian Film Archive was founded as part of the Archive and served as the national film archive. After the fall of communism and once Croatia gained independence, the Archive of Croatia gained its present name of the Croatian State Archives (CSA) (1993). Today, CSA holds more than 23,500 linear meters of archival records, arranged into more than 1,850 archival funds and collections. Next to the Film Archive is the Photo Archive with more than 750,000 photos of particular value, along with the Microfilm Archive containing more than 7 million pictures from different Croatian and foreign institutions. The CSA library holds more than 160,000 volumes. From 2006 onwards, the CSA has been developing a unique archival information system, making digital data accessible from all the Croatian archives.

At the CSA, about 580 funds and collections out of the total of 1,850, or 33%, have limited accessibility, with the majority belonging to the Department of Contemporary Archival Material and the Department of Family Funds. However, the CSA systematically facilitates accessibility to its archival material through the declassification of the material marked by various levels of secrecy, especially that about the socialist period.

A Cseh Tamás Archívum Alapítvány célja az önálló Cseh Tamás Archívum - Interdiszciplináris Gyűjtemény létrehozása, melynek feladata “Cseh Tamás korának és munkásságának, mintaadó személyiségének dokumentálása, teljes adatbázis építése, hogy a komplex munka révén a kor újlátószögű megismerése, megismertetése váljék lehetségessé.”

Az alapítvány által létrehozott gyűjtemény átveszi, nyilvántartja, kezeli és feldolgozza a Cseh Tamás életművéhez kapcsolódó magániratokat és tárgyakat, elvégzi az iratanyag és a kapcsolódó dokumentumok, életinterjúk tudományos feldolgozását és közzétételét. Az alapítvány az összegyűjtött anyag digitális verzióját tekinti saját tulajdonának.

Az alapítvány létrehozásának gondolata 2011-ben merült fel Máry Gábor pénzbeli felajánlása nyomán, jogi személyként 2012 novemberében alakult meg. Első kuratóriumi tagjai Bereményi Géza, Császár Bíró Éva, Hanák Gábor és dr. Zumbok Ferenc voltak. Zumbok Ferenc halála után a kuratórium tagja lett Csák János és dr. Kukorelli István.

Az archívum, mint kutatóhely először a Magyar Nemzeti Levéltár égisze alatt kezdte meg tevékenységét 2013-ban, majd működtetése 2015-ben átkerült a Magyar Alkotóművészeti Nonprofit Kft-hez.

Established as People's Community Center [Chitalishte] "Napredak" [Progress] in 1927, the Chitalishte in Chepintsi is still active today. Till 2005 it maintained a library with over 12 000 editions; a dance school, a singing group, a cinema hall. At the Chitalishte functioned also the "Club of the Regional Ethnographers [kraevedi]". In 2005, due to the restitution of the building, the Chitalishte remained for several years without own spaces and was not functioning; part of the library fund was destroyed due to poor conditions in the derelict after the restitution building. In 2009, some rooms on the top floor in a building that functioned in the 1960s-1970s as a maternity hospital were given to the Chitalishte for the needs of the library. After a partial renovation and with great volunteer work of the librarian Maria Petkova Ivanova (daughter of Yagoda and Petko Ogoyski) the main part of the editions was saved and the library opened again.

The Chitalishte is on budget at the Ministry of Culture. The limited budget allows only two posts – a librarian and a secretary. The Chitalishte's management is honorary: Chairman Nikolay Likovski, vice-chairman – Petko Ogoyski.

The management of the Chitalishte and the Town Hall of Chepintsi discuss the option of reconstructing a building for the needs of the Chitalishte with the construction of a museum part in which the collection of Petko Ogoyski could be transferred.
