SHËRBIMI ARKIVOR DHE MBROJTJA E TË DHËNAVE PERSONALE
ARCHIVAL SERVICE AND PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Summary/Abstract: The Law on Archives defines the basic rules for the organization and function of the archival service in Albania, the institutions that perform this service, as well as their legal obligations for the creation, preservation and use of archival assets, as part of the national heritage. The state archives administer and preserve the inherited documents as well as the archival documents of the local state institutions of the governing bodies, which operate within the respective administrative-territorial unit. Archival search tools are open and free for everyone. The purpose of this study are the opinions for the changes in the law on archives and the law in the protection of personal data, on the functional progress of the two institutions and on the adoptions in the relevant articles, not hindering the service to citizens and not infringing the personal data of individuals others. Article 63 states that: Archives protect the intimate life of the person. It is prohibited to recognize, use and publish documents that contain data of a personal nature and violate the private life of the person. Documents that contain data of a personal nature and affect the intimate life of the person are served only after 50 to 150 years have passed, as the case may be, from the date of their creation. But does this point of the law conflict with Chapter II of Law No. 9887 dated 10.03.2008 “On the Protection of Personal Data”?
