Durzhaven vestnik by Narodno subranie (Sofia)
Call Number: J7.T3; LAW KB3000.A1 [1963-1970]; LAW KB3001.A1; Microfilm (o) 98/10003 RR; LL-F-20 [microfiche]
Published/Created: 1879-present
Description: Durzhaven vestnik is the official legal gazette for Bulgaria, published since 1879. Although this title is known for publishing law and legal announcements, it is also a regular publisher of government-produced statistics on an array of subjects, such as railroads, the state budget, libraries, trade, and banks, among others. The problem with using Durzhaven vestnik as a source for statistics is the spotty indexing. For many years the index is listed by governmental ministry, which is somewhat helpful, but not perfect. Much of the numerical data in the gazette was printed in separate volumes, but because long runs of Bulgarian statistical publications are not widely available in U.S. libraries, this source may be useful, particularly, when the year of interest is known.

As the main statistical annual for the Kingdom of Bulgaria, it is the first place to start looking for statistical data from Bulgaria. In the earlier years of publication, the information is divided into the following major sections: "Territory and Population," "Economic Life," and "Political and Cultural Life." "Territory and Population" covers geography and the borders of Bulgaria, meteorology, population, changes in population such as marriages and deaths, emigration to America (first few years only), religion, and the makeup of the military. "Economic Life" contains information on agriculture, industry, commerce, prices, money and banking, data from the Bulgarian National Bank and from the Bulgarian Agricultural Bank, and postal, railroad, sea navigation, telephone, and telegraph data. "Political and Cultural Life" contains data on state and local finances, elections, civil service, the army, education, the arts, justice, medicine, accidents, and professional organizations, such as unions. Issues from later years arrange the data into 23 different categories: geography and borders, meteorology, population, changes in the population, public health, natural resources, agriculture and animal husbandry, industry and labor, dwellings and public works, transport and communication, real estate, foreign trade, prices and consumption, money and credit, cooperatives and stock associations, finances, social security, education, literature and cultural institutions, social organization and public assistance, religion, justice, and suicides. The kinds of information provided can change over the years. For example, in the early volumes there is little criminal and prison data, but that information increases in later volumes.

An appendix provides some basic data about other countries in comparison to Bulgaria, the entries for which are printed in bold type. Although each annual is for a specific year, they all contain older data, thus the first one for 1909 has some figures going back to 1881. Added features are an index to sources used in the compilation, and both a brief and detailed table of contents. Some volumes also have a list of publications produced by the Glavna direktsiia na statistikata. The entire volume is bilingual, in both French and Bulgarian, throughout its publishing run. Some volumes contain photographs of the tsar and tsaritsa, while the 1923/1924 volume has a fold-out color map showing the new borders of the country.

As the main statistical annual for Bulgaria, it is the first place to start looking for statistical data from Bulgaria. It is a continuation of Statisticheski godishnik na Tsarstvo Bulgariia, which ceased in 1942. The first few volumes are in both French and Bulgarian, then it becomes solely Bulgarian until the early 1990s, when both Bulgarian and English are provided. The data is divided into the following sections: meteorology, population, public health, natural resources, animal husbandry, labor, housing, transport and communications, real estate, foreign trade, consumption, money and credit, cooperatives, finances, social security, education, literature and culture, public institutions, church, justice, and suicides. There is some variation in the subjects over the years. There are methodological notes and a list of sources at the end of only some volumes. Oblasti listed in the early volumes are Burgas, Varna, Vratsa, Gorna Dzhumaia, Pleven, Plovdiv, Ruse, Sofiia, and Stara Zagora. These later change to Blagoevgrad, Burgas, Varna, Veliko Turnovo, Vidin, Vratsa, Gabrovo, Kolarovgrad, Kurdzhali, Kiustendil, Lovech, Mikhailovgrad, Pazardzhik, Pernik, Pleven, Plovdiv, Razgrad, Ruse, Silistra, Sliven, Smolian, Sofiia (city), Sofiia, Stara Zagora, Tolbukhin, Turgovishte, Khaskovo, Iambol.

This monthly publication was the main venue for newly released statistics compiled by the Tsentralno statistichesko upravlenie pri Ministerskiia suvet and the Natsionalen statisticheski institut in Sofia. Some major figures are repeated in every issue, such as the consumer price index, but other subjects are presented as they are compiled, such as sales indexes, imports and exports, household incomes, construction data, births, deaths, tourism statistics, etc. It does not contain articles, only data. In recent years it has been bilingual, in Bulgarian and English.

This section includes general statistical works on Bulgaria as a country, with data covering many possible subjects, but which are abbreviated in size or focus. For example, over the past decades the National Statistical Institute has produced a number of pocket-sized works in Bulgarian and English that provide data, but not quite as much as appears in Statisticheski godishnik [Statistical Yearbook] or in the censuses. Pagination is provided for many of the sources as an indication of how substantial, or not, the titles may be.

Some of the titles listed below have a political focus, but a few of these works have been annotated to alert the researcher to the propaganda value of statistical titles. This section is not meant to be comprehensive, because much of the data reproduced in these volumes is available in the major sources described elsewhere in this guide. Nevertheless, for researchers whose local libraries may hold only some of abbreviated sources, it is helpful to be able to identify them as such, and recognize that often more information is available in other sources. In fact, the sheer quantity of the abbreviated sources with repackaged information demonstrates the popularity and practical use of statistical information. Sources are presented in chronological order, from the oldest dates of coverage to the most recent.

This annual publication is a combination of numbers and explanatory text meant to give a picture of the overall situation in Bulgaria. There is very little regional or local data included. It covers many subjects, such as investments, unemployment, inflation, trade, finances, agrarian reform and privatization, tourism, science, education, culture, demography, and the environment. The categories change somewhat over the years, and some volumes include an English-language summary. In 2008 this annual dropped its subtitle and changed its format. It is now much shorter and contains less information than in previous years, but continues to survey statistics on a wide range of subjects. The new format is bilingual, in Bulgarian and English.
