The collection was created in the Vjesnik newspaper-publishing and printing company. In 1991, in the privatization apportionment, the collection was given to the publication Vjesnik (Vjesnik – political daily newspaper publishing company, Inc. / Novi Vjesnik Ltd. newspaper-publishing activities). After 1999, it was part of the consolidated distribution business Vjesnik Ltd., created by merging the then Vjesnik and the printer Hrvatska tiskara. In June 2007, together with staff who worked on its organization, the collection was incorporated into the Croatian national news agency HINA.
