Summary/Abstract: New technologies and new information holders as well as their copies undoubtedly expand the possibilities of using the archive. When applying professional research on the use of new information holders and the introduction of technology to improve access to archives, the archivist has to closely associate with professionals in other areas of science. The need for multidisciplinary research is obvious, especially if we want to make it easier to access archives in the further development of archive theory and practice in connecting with computer workers and other professionals. The most important task of the archivist is, and will continue to be in the future, to preserve the information, to evaluate it, and to prepare it for use in archive library. In this process, they have to respond to the impact of new technologies and information providers. In this process we need to be guided by the principle that the previous level of achievements and efforts of the archives to the environment in which they operate. We have to respect their decision to use new technologies and new information providers to control them as much as their degree and conditions allow. We know that they primarily think about how to achieve the best possible access to archives.
