Summary/Abstract: In the review of the development the development of archival theory and practice it can be concluded that topics on private archives were rarely dealt with. In states of real socialism this was understandable, because there was mainly no private ownership. After 1945 many private archives had been nationalized and came under the authority of the appropriate archival agency. In the guides through archival fonds and collections of individual archives only family and private fonds could be found. In modern democratic countries, problems related to private archives are addressed within the new archival legislation. Without doubt, private archives are of big importance for historical and other scientific researches. It is undisputed, that the use of archival records of dominions, estates and personal fonds, therefore private archives, by introduction of new informational technologies has significantly increased (SIRAnet etc).
