In the Archival Item of the Month feature for October, we present the period of the oil crisis between 1979 and 1985, which had a significant impact on everyday life in Slovenia. Due to fuel shortages, the authorities introduced a number of restrictive measures, including the odd-even driving system and fuel ration coupons. Through selected archival records, visitors can explore how the population and the economy adapted to the energy crisis of the time.

The Archivalia of the Month section features the Archivalia of the month of September, which is dedicated to the development of the institutionalized conservation-restoration service for archival records in Slovenia. The story dates back to 1956, when the foundations of this discipline were laid at the former Museum of the National Liberation in Ljubljana. Following its merger with the National Archives in 1980, the department developed into the country's central restoration workshop for paper and parchment.
