The Military Archive is an institution for the protection of archival and documentary material that is created in the work of the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces
On February 5 (January 24, according to the old calendar) of 1876, within the Chief General Staff, by the Decree of the Prince Milan Obrenovic IV, a special (third) section was established, as a forerunner of the Military Archives, tasked to ‘collect historical data’, write war history, keep the whole archive and manage the general staff library. This was the foundation of the first institutionalized work on the military history and of keeping the whole archives in the Serbian military.
