Summary/Abstract: Research of user needs in the archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) and Slovenia (SVN) has not been developed yet. In other countries this research area has begun with the development of digital archives collections. We intend to show some results of this research in combination with our original research. Weinterviewed six archivists from both countries. We hope that this overview would help archives in both countries to better plan the development of digital collections. Interviewees suggest that the most frequent users are researchers, students and hobbyists. Archival intelligence, artifactual knowledge and subject knowledge are most important for the success of their work in archives.
