Paper deals with whole process of organization of photo documentation produced by magazine ARKzin. ARKzin was published from 1991 to 1998 and first existed within the Antiwar Campaign Croatia, a network of peace, antiwar, and human rights groups, and later became independent subject. Collection of photographs consists of around 1500 items, taken from different authors, with some of them later becoming well-known photographers, and covers many subjects: protests, war atrocities, portraits of people interviewed for ARKzin, various social events, and graphics. The collection itself is valuable overview of social and political situation in Croatia in the nineties. The collection was transferred from ARKzin as creator to Documenta in 2011, with the aim of identification of items, organization and digitization, and publishing on virtual archive on the Internet. The paper is presenting the challenges of collection management in both physical and virtual environment, with emphasis on physical organization of the collection.
