Unstabilized and war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina is late in this process. This also applies to the field of archival activities and the level of archival knowledge, because it did not solve some elementary questions of archival profession in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is no structured system of standardization, and internal resources of archival activities (facilities, equipment, personnel) are not at a level so as to create all necessary conditions for the answer to all questions that the archival profession imposes. However, there are professional knowledge about international standards that may apply, or who can not. It is particularly important and sensitive application of standards of evaluation of archives. The solution is to build its own standards for the period in which the most damaged archives. However, it is necessary to significantly strengthen staffing basis, and any other necessary conditions for the normal functioning of archival activity.
