The Historical Archive "Veroslava Veljašević" of Smederevska Palanka (Serbian Cyrillic: Историјски архив „Верослава Вељашевић“ Смедеревска Паланка) is the primary institution responsible for preservation of archival materials in the Podunavlje District (with the exception of Smederevo served by the Historical Archive of Smederevo) and westernmost parts of Braničevo District located in Smederevska Palanka, Serbia. The archive is primarily serving municipalities of Smederevska Palanka, Velika Plana and Žabari.[2]

History

The archive was established by the city authorities of Smederevska Palanka on December 30, 1968 while it received regional responsibility for surrounding municipalities only in 1996 by the decision of the government of the Republic of Serbia.[3]

In 2016 the archive was faced with a deep economic crisis when the City of Smederevska Palanka ended up insolvent.[4] The crisis was caused by the 2003 decision according to which archival work was funded by the City of Smederevska Palanka alone and not by other municipalities it served.[4] At the time, the official website was closed down, phone number was shut down and professional staff received their salaries irregularly.[4]
