Activities in the domain of natural sciences date back to the early days of Matica Srpska. The first books, in the fields of agriculture, fruit science and viticulture, animal science, beekeeping etc. were published in the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Their primary goal was enlightenment of the people (Editions: Books for the People and Books of Matica Srpska).
The requirement for the organization of scientific research work in Matica Srpska resulted in assembly of the Scientific Department. It was instituted in the Constitution of Matica Srpska from September 1920 and was constituted in April 1922. Jovan Cvijić, president of the Serbian Royal Academy, was elected head of the department. The outline of the Constitution of Matica Srpska from 1948 suggested the founding of the Scientific Department of Matica Srpska. Regulations of the Scientific Department, Article 8, define the tasks of the Section for Natural Sciences. These include: research of the flora and fauna, geological and geographical phenomena in Vojvodina as well as support of the development of sciences concerned with nature in Vojvodina. The Section of Natural Sciences had two groups: Biological and Geographical. As the scientific research activities intensified, the need for the creation of an independent department arose. In May, 1965, at the Regular Assembly Meeting of Matica Srpska, the Department of Natural Sciences of Matica Srpska was formed.
Ever since then the Department has been active in scientific research in all fields of natural sciences. The core activities focus on scientific research projects, organization of scientific conferences, publishing of books i.e. special editions, periodicals and proceedings from scientific conferences as well as awards.
The work of the Department is managed by the Board of the Department that has a four year mandate. Head of the board is the Secretary General. The current Secretary General was elected by the Management Board on the 24th of December 2012.

As early as 1912 the aspiration to organize scientific work in Matica Srpska resulted in the establishment of five expert assemblies. The assemblies were allowed to organize sections with particular tasks, should such necessity occur. The Assembly for Social Enlightenment and Books for the People is the predecessor of the Department of Social Sciences
The Department of Social Sciences in its contemporary form was assembled after World War 2. The Scientific Department of Matica Srpska was established in December 1948 based on Article 25 of the Statute of Matica Srpska. On the 16th of January 1965 in a meeting of the Scientific Department separation into the Department of Natural Sciences and Department of Social Sciences was proposed. This proposition was accepted by the Management Board of Matica Srpska in the meeting held on the 6th of April 1965 and adopted by the General Assembly of Matica Srpska on the 30th of May 1965.
The department operates under the management of the Secretary General of the Department and the Department Board. Until now, the Secretary General position was held by: Professor Vladimir Kapor, PhD (1965), Professor Mladen Stojanov, PhD (1983), Professor Branislav Đurđev, PhD (1995), Professor Milovan Mitrović, PhD (2004) and Professor Ljubomirka Krkljuš, PhD (2008) (2008)

The Department of Literature of Matica Srpska was founded at the constitutional assembly of the Board in 1864 upon the relocation of Matica Srpska to Novi Sad. The first meeting of the Department was held on the 29th and 30th of August the same year. The Literary Board of the Department was constituted in October. The members of the Department of Literature, however, had been working actively in Matica Srpska since its founding. The scope of their work was presentation of Serbian culture in Europe as well as the enlightenment of the Serbian people. To this end were the rich publishing activities developed. The basis of these activities was Letopis (The Chronicle) launched in 1824 and, over time, numerous editions of Matica Srpska were created.
The Department of Literature and Language in its contemporary form was assembled after World War 2. Its task is to organize, encourage and popularize scientific research work in the fields of literature and language, to support the development of contemporary literature and literary language, to care for and cultivate the language and literature of the Serbian people and its connections with cultures of other nations, as well as to develop cooperation with according scientific and cultural institutions in our country and abroad.

Accumulation and preservation of archival material in the Manuscript Department commences with the actual founding of Matica Srpska in 1826. The core of the Manuscript Department was created from the first statute that regulates the activities of Matica Srpska, documents created by several decades of work of Matica Srpska both in Pest and in Novi Sad, manuscripts submitted to be published in the Journal of Matica Srpska or to literary competitions of Matica Srpska, minutes of meetings of management boards, correspondence between significant leading names in Serbian literature and cultural political history of the 19th and 20th century, purchases and numerous gifts. Several phases of it’s the development can be observed: from 1826-1847 there was no special form of organized activity, from 1847 to 1945 operates as Srbsko-narodna sbirka (Serbian – National Collection) that accumulated, among other old written documents: letters, books and manuscripts of famous Serbs. From 1945 to 1958 it operated as Department of Archival Material and Manuscripts as part of the Library of Matica Srpska, from 1958 to 1961 the Department operated under the management of the Literary Department of Matica Srpska. It emerged as an independent department in 1961 and in the 60s the Department received offices, a larger depot, and a reading room for work with researchers. The full time employment of a number of archivists made the beginning of systematic work on archival material possible.
The Manuscript Department is a unique archival institution; the only real archival holdings are in the Archive of Matica Srpska. That archival material came into existence during the rich and diverse history of Matica Srpska. Records of the Management Board, Department of Literature and the Board as well as minutes of the annual assembly meetings from 1826 to 1945 are kept here. Apart from 284 boxes with more than 100000 documents, 158 books of records and register deeds of Matica Srpska are preserved.
The rest of the archival material is sorted into three collections – Collection of Manuscripts, Collection of Letters and Collection of Photographs. The Collection of Manuscripts contains 20,000 processed documents and several thousand copies of important archival material. This archival material was created from the 18th to the 20th century. It was mostly written in Serbian, German, Latin and Church Slavonic language. The Collection of Letters contains exceptionally valuable letters of most esteemed Serbs. 61,150 letters have been processed until now, whereas several thousands of letters acquired through donations and purchases are still waiting to be processed. The Collection of Photographs has close to 25,000 photographs, negatives and albums, daguerreotypes and images created by means of modern digital equipment. From 1967 to 2001 the Editorship of Bibliographical Editions operated as a part of the Manuscript Department of Matica Srpska. Today, computer programs are used for the processing of archivalia whereas the most significant archival material is scanned and uploaded to appropriate data bearing media.
The Manuscript Department is an unavoidable source of precious archival material. It is impossible to learn about the most important people and key events in the cultural and political history of Serbs since the 18th century up to now without it.
The Department operates under the management of the Director and the Board of the Manuscript Department.

Academician Čedomir Popov spoke about the reasons for the founding of the Department as well as the activities planned at a meeting of the Department of Lexicography and Bibliography of the time on the 22nd of January 1992. The main task of the Department is the organization and realization of research that, in form of lexicons, biographic and encyclopedic dictionaries, and bibliographies, provide documented information about the culture of Serbian people in various periods of its history, observed separately as well as through relations with other national cultures. Furthermore, the main task of the Department includes organization of scientific conferences, public lectures and exhibitions on the projects of the Department either independently or in cooperation with the Departments of Matica Srpska or other relevant institutions. The activities of the Department incorporate scientific projects and subprojects with respective program contents.
The Department operates under the management of the Secretary General and the Board of the Department of Lexicology. Since the founding of the Department the following Secretary Generals have been appointed: Academician Čedomir Popov (1991–1995, 2004–2008), Academician Nikša Stipčević (1995–1999), Professor Predrag Piper, PhD (1999–2004), Professor Branko Bešlin PhD (2008–2012) and Professor Ljiljana Pešikan Ljuštanović, PhD since 2012.
