Archivist’s note
This collection contains hundreds of records in Serbo-Croat, many of which are written in Cyrillic script. All personal names, titles and names of organisations have been transliterated into the Latin alphabet. Diacritics and accents have been used to indicate the correct pronunciation. Where the original record creator used an anglicised/Westernised spelling (e.g. Sophie Mirkovitch) this has been retained alongside an alternative, potentially more authentic form (e.g. Sofija Mirković).
Place names have been rendered in their most common, current English version, e.g. Ragusa appears as Dubrovnik.
