I would file it under Slovenia, because someone comes in asking for maps
of Slovenia, there it will be, and you won't have to remember that you
have it filed with Germany.

Dear Sir/Madam

I work at the University of the West Indies as Map Curator. I have a
question re filing maps. I have some European maps printed in the WWII
era. My question is - Do I file the map under the current country
location or the location at the time of printing? I have a map which at
the time of printing represented a location in Nazi occupied Germany. It
is currently now part of Slovenia. Do I file the map under Germany or
Slovenia?

Any advice or referral to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

Best wishes

Thera
