Abstract
Drawing on the philosophical discourse on memory, time, and heritage, the present study
explores how archives illuminate the structures and dynamics of individual and collective
representations of social interactions, cultural conflicts, and identity transformations. Building on this
theoretical perspective, the analysis shifts its focus to the empirical case of Mini Maritsa Iztok. The
study's hypotheses are grounded in archival data and a selection of illustrative examples with indicative
value. The research is structured around two main focal points: 1) the characteristics of the archival
heritage of Mini Maritsa Iztok and its significance as a primary source base for reconstructing
institutional, economic, and social processes; and 2) the possibilities for a philosophical interpretation
of institutional memory, with particular emphasis on its contemporary manifestations and meanings
as reflected in language.
