Histoire archivistique
The Salt Office in Ston managed the production of salt in the salt basin, the sale of salt, and the purchase of foreign salt. The administrators of the salt basin in Ston were two senators with a one-year mandate. Aside to these elected noblemen, there were others who were selected to perform duties such as scribes, salt sellers (partitores), or those who would purchase salt from foreign traders (masarii).
Source immédiate d'acquisition ou de transfert
The fonds has been linked to the archive since its inception. In the times of the Dubrovnik Republic, the books of the fonds were stored at the Salt Office in Ston, and were, by 1891 transferred to the Rector’s Palace, when the archives were consolidated and were made available to researchers. The archive in the Rector's Palace has been functioning as an independent institution since 1920 and it was dislocated to the Sponza Palace in 1952, where it is still located today.
