Summary/Abstract: Record managers and archivists were already relatively early encountered with problems of creating headings, how to build different thesauri, more advanced use of filing plans and also with the preparation of indices and contents of archival information aids. Encountered methodological problems were solved by individual archivists, looking at the most appropriate solutions and thus establishing their own systems. With the introduction of new IT solutions, especially in building archival databases such a method is unsuitable, as well as inefficient and ineffective. On the basis of the practical experiences in the Regional Archives Maribor when describing archives between the years 2006-2009, it was proved in practice, that there is a real need for in-depth treatment of problems relating to the creation of headings, descriptors and thesauri. It is therefore necessary to establish and standardize guidelines for creating of headings and thesauri, which must be designed in such a way, that they will be suitable for the user on one and for professionals on the other hand.
