[5][6] By the decision of the Assistant Minister of Education of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes of August 5, 1926 the first archivist appointed was Dr. Dimitrije Kirilović.

[5] He invited the historian Aleksa Ivić, a professor at the Faculty of Law in Subotica, to compile a report on the state of archival material in Vojvodina.

A significant portion of the archival material was taken over by the Ustasha authorities, and some was transferred to Vienna and private collections in ossupied Czechoslovakia.

[5] The return of stolen items required more space, so the Serbian Orthodox Church provided the Patriarchate Court in Sremski Karlovci, and from 1968, the monastery lodgings in Beočin.

[7] The Archive of Vojvodina was also awarded the Order of the Star of Karadjordje, second class, by the decree of the President of Serbia in 2016, for outstanding merits in preserving cultural and historical heritage, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of its founding and successful work.
