For this reason, an computerization group has been set up consisting of informatics specialists and experienced archivists, who faced this contemporary process, thus creating the basis of a broad informatics against the needs of the Albanian Archival Network. They faced the trials of both the past and the modern world as well as the difficulties of digitization for the storage of valuable data, to be as accessible as possible to the public, to protect the privacy and to trust and secure information. The main objective of this topic is: Numbering technology in the Central State Archive, - the basic element for modernization and openness to the public of information storage, which today is conceived as a tool that breaks the framework of archives as institutions in themselves.
