ADAPTACIJA PROSTORA ZA SMJEŠTAJ ARHIVSKE GRAĐE U ARHIVU TUZLANSKOG KANTONA
ADAPTATION OF SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE ARCHIVAL MATERIAL IN ARCHIVE OF TUZLA CANTON

Summary/Abstract: Accepting archival material from its owners in accordance with relevant legal regulation archives can not achieve without access to suitable archival space (archival depo's). This issue had been influencing dynamics of accepting the material during past in all Bosnian-Herzegovian archives, Archive Tuzla included, which ultimately reflected on the state of archival material in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We believe that is mistake of archive's founders but also society as a whole. In the absence of organized social care for ensuring adequate archival space archives in the past, and even now, forced to find solutions themselves. With huge efforts some inadequate objects are obtained, often in an unsuitable locations. Such example is the Archive of Tuzla Canton. Objects that are provided to the Archive for ten years use are not satisfying considering location (place where army resided), space (ten kilometres distance from our main building), or construction (object created for other purposes). However, since no better solution could be found, the Archive took these objects, adapted them and used them for storing less important archival material, thus creating the possibility to use Archive's suitable, central depo for first category material. All these activities have been achieved thanks to great enthusiasm of the Archive's employees, which is a positive example how with our own effort a contribution to protection of cultural and historical heritage can be successfully achieved.
