    Prior to 1946, religious organizations such as the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, and the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina were responsible for documenting these critical events in the area of today's Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the establishment of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1946, recording these records became the responsibility of the local Register Offices. However, the country's archival collections deteriorated as a result of the 1990s war and more recent events. Approximately 80% of the National and University Library collections, housed in Sarajevo's City Hall, were destroyed by fire during a bombing in 2012. Nevertheless, the available information in these archives as well as the archives of the religious communities can be very useful for tracing Bosnian ancestry, especially for those in the Bosnian Diaspora in Austria, Germany, Turkey, the United States and Canada.
