Annales, Annals for Istrian and Mediterranean Studies (until 1994 its subtitle was Annals of the Koper Littoral and Neighbouring Regions) is a quarterly magazine (two issues of historia naturalis series and two issues from historia et sociologia series) published since 1991 in Koper. It focuses on the humanities and social sciences, multicultural and multi-ethnic relations and natural history topics, primarily ecology and biology. Annales covers the regional territory of three countries of the northern Adriatic region - Slovenia, Italy and Croatia. Mainly multi- and interdisciplinary comparative studies are contributed to by international experts and some themes are continuously tackled. Annales features regular contributions from the Historical Society of Southern Primorska, Koper and co-operates with many other journals. Its papers are published in several languages. Annales has also organised several symposia (with proceedings published in Acta Histriae).
