The Diocesan Archives of Koper were founded in 1949. Their oldest document (a parchment document) dates back to the year 1082 and their oldest file to 1850. The most precious records are the parchment documents. The Archives contain transcripts of parish records dating back to 1835, however pre-1949 records of Koper Diocese itself, which was united with Trieste Diocese in 1828, have not yet been returned from Trieste, and parish archives are still kept in the parishes. In Vodnik po arhivih Slovenije (Guide to the Archives of Slovenia, 1965, pp 555-565, 94) and Vodnik po matičnih knjigah za območje SR Slovenije (Guide to Registers in the Territory of the SR Slovenia, 1972-1974, three volumes) all church archives are listed. The aim of the Diocesan Archives is to offer space for original record books of all parishes and to scan all documents and make them available on CD-ROM.
