Slovenian archival institutions, whose primary task is to preserve national archival holdings, have for a number of years also been responsible for archives that are located abroad and relate to Slovenia and Slovenes. A t the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia, this task was for a number of years carried out under the direction of Mr. France M. Dolinar. During that time, Slovenian archivists made yearly visits to the British National Archives in London, where a great many records relating to Slovenes are kept among its archival holdings. Being that archival records are very diverse, the authors present just some of the most characteristic fragments from official reports made by British ambassadors about Yugoslavia and by British consuls about Slovenia during the first few years after WW II. Reports of the British Embassy in Belgrade provide additional insight into British policies toward Yugoslavia, whereas reports of the consul, operating in Ljubljana for only a short period of time, bear witness to affairs in Slovenia.
