Objectives of the project:

DAt the end of August 2009, the State Archives in Pazin, in agreement with the Istrian Literary Society ‘Juraj Dobrila’, launched the ‘Juraj Dobrila’ project with the aim of finding, recording and collecting archival material that testifies to the life and work of Bishop Juraj Dobrila. The State Archives in Pazin are in charge of finding, recording and collecting archival material or copies thereof, which is located at the State Archives of the Republic of Croatia and private persons, while the Istrian Literary Society is in charge of the same at the Diocesan Archives of the Diocese of Poreč and Pula and Trieste. In accordance with the possibilities, efforts will be made to record material that is also found in foreign secular and church archives, with an emphasis on Juraj Dobrila's education and official and private correspondence.

In addition to these goals, the project also plans to publish a doctoral dissertation by Bishop Dobrila ‘de Confessione sacramentali“ with transcription and translation and an exhibition of the collected and recorded archival material on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of birth.
