Internet has become the biggest, best and cheapest means of advertising, which is being used more and more in recent years in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Historical Archive of Sarajevo first web page was set in May 2003. Because of its static nature and the inability to update the page by Archive's employees, soon we began to think about its redesign, and finding a better system for site maintenance since one of the keys to the success of the site is fresh, updated content. Transfer has been made towards the new technology, in this case to the Joomla! CMS - a system for managing web content, which is expensive, but also more efficient. The overall organization of the site has been improved, the color and graphics refreshed, as well as complete visual appearance itself.

The efforts of Bosnian society to approach and follows the developed countries through information technology has led to the development of information technologies in various spheres of our society, including the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The use of paper documents into business generates significant limitations, costs and risks. Circulation of paper documents is slower than the flow of information processes supported by modern software applications, and negatively affects the speed and quality of the process. In addition, the manipulation of paper documents, particularly in dislocated environment is causing damage and loss of documents, which can have significant consequences. Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina will meet with these and similar systems management documents, which requires a certain adjustment in the work of Service for protection of archival material outside the archives.

Historical archive of Novi Sad has been working for years in order to form awareness regarding importance of proper and standardized leading system of registry and archival dealings regardless of material state in certain organs of state administration. Providing professional help to maker's of archival material is legal obligation, but extra effort is being put so state of archival material outside of the archive could be marked as satisfactory. New law about archival material that is currently in making says that personnel in charge of protecting the archival material must pass expert exam, to prove their ability to protect the material, and work to improve organization and methods. The law also anticipates creation of unique tehnical and tehnological demands for electronic preservation of documents in electronic form, at the republic level.

Today, when the main resource is an information, archives are becoming important institutions because they are protectors of informations, and therefore present a source of power. In order to use all possibilites provided by the new tehnology, create data bases, attention should be devoted to security of stored archival documents. Documentation must be available, but even stronger protection then in the case of traditional, paper documents must be implemented, because risks are far greater. The control of approach is only a segment, important one, that makes up information's security, which then enables undisturbed, advanced work with documents. It is a complex area which includes not only a physical protection but also procedures and guidelines, as well as the most important element, staff and users. Physical, logical protection and users are links of security, therefore that awareness should be promoted at employees and those users who are connected to it.

The paper gives a presentation and analysis of the macro appraisal project, a process used by National Archives of Canada starting from 1990. The project is based on the method of functional appraisal that has emerged in several countries ever since the beginning of the 20th century, but has been given intensive theoretical and practical consideration only since the second half of the eighties. A detailed elaboration of the theoretical terms of macro-appraisal has been given by Terry Cook, archivist of the National Archives of Canada, in his paper "MacroAppraisal: New Theories and Strategies of Acquisition in the National Archives of Canada". The basic methodological process promoted there is to determine the value of the "location" of archives' creation, as well as to determine the circumstances and the function of their creation.

The problems include passwords in archival information systems that are extensive, they require of their creator effort not only for their creation, in the strict sense, but primarily because they have to follow the procedures that can be determined in the following steps: - Generate passwords based on the determined content, - Searching for the current equivalent of the term in the system, - Checking the contents of a found a clue to the newly generated concept. - Note of discovered clues as independent entities in the system of describing archival materials.The reason for the creation and connection passwords with content of archival material in the process of editing archival work should not be understood only as an aid at the end of the list of index or as a list of passwords by itself and the like, but above all as a means of organizing expertise. Properly implemented password and constructed lists of passwords give us in archival theory and practice another dimension which we have used as a tool to establish and maintain meaningful connections among archival workers and professionals with other areas for the general progress of science and behavior.

The development of archival service in Bosnia and Herzegovina, started quite late, just after the Second World War, the establishment of the first archival institutions. This had an impact on the overall achievements of archival activities, are seen through the segment of archival institutions and their results in terms of protection, treatment and use of archive materials. These results can be viewed through three different periods: the first since the establishment of the first archival institution until 1990, when the archival service had a rocky road, but at the end of this time reached an enviable level, viewed in the competence of archival institutions that answers all the important requirements of the archival profession . This gave significant results in terms of protection of archives in the making, fonds and collections, processing and use of the same. Significant results have been achieved in other fields, such as: publishing collections of documents and other publications, realization of numerous cultural events, establishing cooperation with educational institutions and the media and a number of other significant results. The trend of successful development of archival activities stopped the circumstances of war (1992-1995), which were detrimental to the overall activity and archives. At this time, victims are huge amounts of current records, especially those emerging. The archives have experienced stagnation in every way, which will all leave severe consequences for the overall activity. The third phase of development refers to the period after the war. This is a period of renewal of archival activities, which passed with many difficulties, resulting from the same organization on the principle of the state system. This was a significant brake on the establishment of a uniform system. On repair the consequences of war and reconstruction activity was influenced by numerous factors, such as low-status activity, lack of support for founders, lack of adequate staff, poor working conditions, the unequal status of archival institutions and others. But, nevertheless, there have been positive steps forward, especially in some archival institutions that have struggled to catch up with the contemporary archival knowledge as a result of the great sacrifice, perseverance and professional work but it was not enough to establish a valid system, in order to meet the demands of time and profession.

Today an increasingly important branch of science is toponymy, the study of place names, which is one of the subbranches of science. The fact that there are certain trends in the administration of names which reflect the characteristics of the region makes this branch of science much more important. Studies on the place names have a great importance also for the research of intangible cultural heritage, because the place names indicate profound traces about cultures and civilizations existed in that geographical region throughout the history. For this reason, studies on place names are of a great importance in terms of cultural studies. While naming the settlements in the province of Nevsehir, the concepts related to person, profession, the human body, the family and kinship relations, institutional organizations, social structures, materials, structure and work, food, religious and national concepts of value, color, metal, time, race, size, community, state, nature and natural phenomena, plants and animals, geographic concepts, both positive and negative assumptions of society, terms of various disciplines, various words and concepts which are reflections of a local culture come into prominence. Names of locations are often given according to the Turkish traditions of naming. It is also known that these names have often a great importance in the study of folklore. For this reason, this work is composed of two main parts. In the first part, the names of the settlements in Nevsehir region are detected and classified, and in the second part, the suitability of these names to the tradition of giving a name are investigated and the data obtained are evaluated in terms of folklore.

Current records registry in bankruptcy is very threatened, largely because bankruptcy administration inherits disordered state of the material and wants the same released as soon as possible. To archive this signals to be actively involved in the process of taking over these materials. Because so far the Law on bankruptcy did not assign funds for this purpose, it is necessary that the bankruptcy judge and the competent archives submit a proposal to the Federal Minister of Justice who is required within three months (according to the Law on Bankruptcy no 237) to issue regulations on fees which include the obligation of insurance costs for these purposes.

These examples show that the archive workers need to be more informed and cautious when aquiring documents in the archive. Now the archive workers have the opportunity to meet with other and different data carriers (optical, magnetic, laser, etc.), and not just written on paper or on microfilm. All this from the archive requires workers to be more persistent, organized and pervasive in their demands to society in order to fight for more adequate, more serious and better status of archival service. Historical archive Sarajevo is still most often been in a position to take over current records of orderly funds. It is the success of "external services", as well as other employees of the Archives. This is confirmed by the fact that of the 617 funds, as there are Archive, 57 funds is partially arranged, and only 41 fund is disorderly. In addition it should be remembered that there is a change (enlargement) of the term "tidy fund", mainly due to the new way of administrative business and new ways of processing documents, and the creation of new forms of documents. It requires from archival workers to work on their training for work with this type of documentation, as well as to create conditions for the processing of such documents and their storage. Moving forward it is possible to make efforts to change the legislation so that it was really a function of protection of archives. this mozerno achieved only if we fight for adequate treatment and status of archival service in the company.

Since its inception and computerization of member libraries, Federation of Church Libraries FIDES has strived to unify the principles of subject indexing. So far individual libraries were using various IR query languages. The first attempt to standardize this issue was the introduction of initially free key words in a common MAK database. Once Central Catalogue in Koha was created, the National Library’s Subject Indexing System was selected due to newly established cooperation with NUKAT Centre. In the near future the National Library’s Descriptor project will be implemented to replace current Subject Indexing System.

During the Homeland War in the area of Vukovarsko-Goranska and Osječko-baranjska County, large volumes of records were destroyed and part of them was taken to Serbia. After the end of the war and the end of a peaceful reintegration into the area under temporary occupation, the recording and saving of the remaining record-keeping material began. Most of the economic gigans such as Kombinat "Borovo", "VUPIK", "Vuteks", and some of the materials of administration, judiciary and healthcare were taken to Serbia. The material that no longer has operational value has been taken over in the State Archives of Osijek and the Archival Collection Center in Vinkovci, and part of it, for its operation, remained in the archives, under constant supervision of the Archive. When sorting the archival material, the excretion was carried out carefully and only over the documentation that expired the legal deadlines and which no longer has power in some evidentiary proceedings. Those documents that expired by the statutory deadlines that could be used in some evidentiary proceedings are not excluded due to the inadvertence of funds and documents with relevant information.

In this article, with almost 80 years of comparing data on the use of archives in the RS Archives and its predecessors, I have found that records of the use of archive material are needed, as they prove to us that interest in the past for the nation's memory is constantly increasing, It also increases the role of the archives themselves in modern society, as well as in the state when it comes to administrative-business objects. This was especially the case with the emergence of an independent state when laws were passed that tried to equalize the guilt caused between and after the war, which in turn led to the number of individual beneficiaries growing year by year in line with the demands of legal entities. So we come to the conclusion that near-law legislation has influenced the use of parts of the archive. It would be interesting and useful to make an even more thorough analysis of the use of archive material, which would give us guidelines for the work of the archives in the future.

These are most often the requirements for issuing evidence of professional qualifications, passed exams, property and legal relations, etc. These data are contained in the school's archive funds, the funds of the authorities and the administration. The most frequent claimants were expelled and displaced persons who, due to war events in BiH, were left without original documents.
