From the initial availability only informative resources on archives (inventories, lists, registers, Abstract, etc.), Progressed to the availability of information about individual archive documents and data in them. It contributes to the development of information technology, which encourage and even coerced archives to use them. Technological development also provides fast access to archival information (scanning, digitizing, etc.) and their transfer to the destination of their customers, who do not have to come and reserve time on research in the archives. Availability of archival documents and archival information will face three major problems: a) the will and ill-will state administrations for their broader or narrower availability, b) supporting the development of legal regulations (legal and regulatory) and c) for a faster and more extensive bandwidth of archival information, which can be slow, due to uneven standardization and outdated technology.
