520			_aThis article aims to discuss several problems researchers may encounter in studying the development of electrical infrastructure in Socialist Yugoslavia. The first and most obvious problem is that the country of Yugoslavia does not exist anymore. It broke up during the violent civil war of 1991-1995, eventually splitting into seven countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, and North Macedonia); the archival material got scattered in the various archives of former Republics. Furthermore, the existing literature dedicated to the electric infrastructure and power industry does not provide sufficient insight into the history and nuances of the infrastructural development of Yugoslavia and, more importantly, its unique position during the Cold War period. This article gives an overview of available documentation related to the history of the development of electrical energy in socialist Yugoslavia, with a detailed list of archives, libraries, institutes, museums, and private companies where future researchers can find material for potential studies. Moreover, it provides a historical breakdown of the development of the electrical energy infrastructure of socialist Yugoslavia, with an analysis of the political circumstances that affected the archives, institutes, and museums of former Yugoslavia, as well as a short description of existing literature dedicated to the history of energy infrastructures of former Yugoslavia.
