Summary/Abstract: In summary we can state that there are not many differences between archival standards ISAD(g) in one side and information in electronic archival information system AFondy and Methodological instruction for priority processing archival fonds on the other side. As yet unresolved area we see a strict hierarchical division of information about archival described by the level of individual items. Impulse for comparison with international standards, use of archival applications was need to solve a question if we are “compatible” with the world. Even before the future we take a final decision to adopt the standard or not, we have to answer a lot of questions. Hereby, we must recognize the entering of computer processing, online access to archival documents has influence at the unit and content of archival description. Maybe to the final decision help view of Lisa Weber, who says “The use of standards for archival description allow to avoid syndrome perpetual inventory making and force archivists to take the final decision and not to return constantly to solve the same issues.”
