Archivalia of the month November 2026

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Local Commission for the Drainage of the Ljubljana Marshes. In 1826, drainage works in the Ljubljana Marshes were already in full swing, and the Commission was established to direct and supervise the work and ensure that it was carried out in a coordinated manner. In August 1827, the Commission’s members submitted a report to the Gubernium (provincial government) on the “progress and success of the works” during its first year of operation.
