INTEGRITY OF ARCHIVAL FUNDS AS A CONDITION FOR THE EXERCISE OF CIVIL RIGHTS (EXPERIENCE OF ARCHIVE OF TUZLA CANTON)

Summary/Abstract: The Archive, as an institution of public character, is obliged to take over archival material from creators and owners of the same, and to ensure use of archival material for administrative and scientific purposes. This requirement is certainly dependent on supply, i.e. archival materials that archive possesses in their own warehouses, and the success of this work began much earlier than the moment archival material is on the shelves of archival repositories. Therefore, the creators of archival materials must take care of and preserve archival materials in the making until its final submission to the competent archival institution.The analysis we have done clearly shows the amounts of stored material, and the percentage of positively resolved applications submitted by legal entities and individuals indicates the degree of preservation of archival materials submitted to the Archives. Percentage of submitted requests in the past three years from the funds of municipal administration is gradually declining as a result of completion of the process of legalization of facilities in the municipalities, while increasing the percentage of requests for other funds stored in the Archives of Tuzla Canton. Generally, we can be satisfied with positive percentage of claims resolved, which is gradually approaching to satisfactory level. Regarding individual results, archival material of some funds is on the rise when it comes to positively been cleared, which in these years is over 70 and even 80%. Only two municipalities meet the standard of over 70 claims resolved to customer requests. Kalesija has maintained only a small part of the archival materials and there are minimum requirements of users, only three in last three years.A negative response to the request can be caused by a lack of documents in archival material (incompleteness of funds), and less frequently by lack of relevant, and even inaccurate information that we get from users, then unpreparedness of funds (although unprapared funds are also used for this) and lack of a database. From the analysis carried out, we can clearly see that municipalities that have surrendered the least amount of material recorded the lowest number of claims.
