The Croatian Publishing and Bibliographic Institute (, HIBZ) was a lexicographic institute in the Independent State of Croatia founded on August 9, 1941. Mate UjeviÃÂ was its director. In 1944, Dragutin TadijanoviÃÂ became the literary secretary of the institute. With the creation of communist Yugoslavia in 1945, the institute's work was stopped.
People associated with the Institute include Ivan Goran KovaÃÂiÃÂ.
The Institute published the Dictionary of Croatian Literary Language, as well as taking over the publishing of the Croatian Encyclopedia. In 1942, the institute published seven of Vladimir Nazor's works: Putopisi, ZagrebaÃÂke novele, Posljednja Trijada, Na vrh jezika i pera, ArhanÃÂeli, Knjiga pjesama and Eseji i ÃÂlanci.
The HIBZ published a series of anthologies titled Contemporary Croatian Writers (Suvremeni hrvatski pisci):
Knjià ¾evni tjednik ("Literary Weekly") was a literary and cultural magazine. Its Editor-in-Chief was Pavao Tijan. In six months, between 18 December 1941 and 28 June 1942, 21 issues were published, initially weekly and later biweekly. The magazine's topics were literature, newly released books, theater, concerts, fine arts, and photography. Foreign literature and writers, such as Albanian, Belgian, Bengali, Norwegian and French, received coverage too. The magazine published a number of poems and pieces of short prose by contemporary Croatian writers, including Tin UjeviÃÂ, Vladimir Nazor, Ivan Goran KovaÃÂiàand Vjekoslav Kaleb. It was discontinued in 1942, ostensibly due to a "shortage of paper". According to Mate UjeviÃÂ, the real reason was an unspecified article deemed "anti-fascist" by the regime. It appears that the authorities decided to extinguish Knjià ¾evni tjednik in order to set the stage for Spremnost, a political weekly closely aligned with Ustasha ideology. During the communist era in post-World War II Yugoslavia, Knjià ¾evni tjednik was not available for academic research.
ÃÂasopis za hrvatsku poviest ("Journal of Croatian History") was the first exclusively historical journal in Croatian historiography. It covered only topics related to history and art history of Croatia. Its editors were , a historian, and Ljubo Karaman, an art historian and conservator. Four issues in three volumes were published in 1943.
After the demise of Knjià ¾evni tjednik, HIBZ started Vienac ("The Wreath"), a monthly magazine that continued the tradition of Vienac, a publication of Matica ilirska established in 1869 and discontinued before World War I. Between March and July 1944, 12 issues were published in 6 volumes. The Editor-in-Chief was . Although Vienac was predominantly a literary magazine, it covered a wide range of topics, including fine arts, philosophy, economy, and natural sciences. Some articles attracted public criticism in pro-regime publications, which, according to Mate UjeviÃÂ, nearly led to HIBZ being terminated.
Acta was envisioned as a quarterly medical journal, but only a single issue was published in early 1945. Its editor was Juraj Körbler, and the chairman of its editorial board was Ante à  ercer.
