UKLJUČIVANJE ARHIVSKE DJELATNOSTI U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI U MEĐUNARODNE TOKOVE
INCLUSION OF ARCHIVAL ACTIVITIES IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA IN THE INTERNATIONAL COURSE

Summary/Abstract: The issue of using information technology in archival science is one of the most actual and complex issues. Direct involvment in resolving certain issues in this area and finding the right way to customize these solutions to fit the needs of archival service in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is certainly an issue that can not and must not be neglected.The need and right to information greatly affected a new direction, focused on development of modern and archival science and the process of archival work, while also establishing a faster, simpler and more accesible access to an information. Modern archival direction, without modernization and use of information technology and without direct involvement in the process of computerization, lacks perspective and any viable future. Continuation of traditional, classical work and activities is not sufficient to answer the most important demands and challenges of modern society set in front of archives and archival services of the country. Therefore, the use of modern information technologies, primarily, follows the needs of modern archives, which allows them to carry out basic tasks as institutions.An important step in this plan is the inclusion of institutions in various international associations within which, through various projects, we can find a common way while trying to resolve some basic issues related to storing and presenting of archival materials. In the past few years, Historical Archive of Sarajevo, Archives of Tuzla Canton and Archival Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina became members of the International Council on Archives (ICA) and ICARUS, and thus opened a new chapter in the development of archival service in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This membership opens up new opportunities for these archives, as well as the entire country's archival service.
