Summary/Abstract: All archival material that is downloaded to the archives is placed and kept in separate rooms of depot. Depot of Archives of Užice has several rooms located on all floors. Rooms of the depot are equipped with quality system of movable archives shelving and air conditioning systems, security fire alarm and burglary system, which provide the material from damage, disappearance and decay. Vertical communication between depots is provided by the elevator and horizontal communication is provided by the wheelchair, as well as with other services and users. For convenience in the depot, funds and collections are grouped in a way that allows them the easiest retrieval. The principle of storage and disposal of the funds is applied under the scheme for the creating of the guide through the Archives of Serbia. Within groups and subgroups, the funds are delayed by type of institution and ranked from high to low, and within the same rank in alphabetical order of the place of the fund creator. The disadvantages are: the inability to enlargement because of the location, for the general urban plan does not allow more floors; risk of transformer station incorporated in the building of the archives; location - at the intersection of quite busy streets. However, having in mind the depots where the archival materials were located in the old building, it can be said that there has been great progress in creating better conditions for the storage and protection of archives.
