Precondition for the overall preservation of the archival and documentary material is the systematic and regular control of the record management system, i.e. control that records and documents are properly managed. Especially important is the control of the implementation of corresponding archival legislation in record management departments and offices in order to permanently preserve the archival heritage. Archival institutions are those authorities that keep control in the creating bodies, public or private equally. Free access to archival documents represents a rather delicate issue of pro­fessional and public conflict for archivists, i.e. the archivists have to make a decision between the prescribed recommendations and actual right to access to documents that are not accessible for the time being, due to many differ­ent reasons. The pressure for the access to documents in archives is getting stronger, the communication and information technologies for information exchange more sophisticated and in addition to that the ICA took a stand that archival material create a heritage and the memory of a State and thus a memory of a Region and the World. In such circumstances, the archival and administrative authorities need to define what documents will be classified as state secrets and what documents will keep the personal integrity protected. In other words, the State needs to define what are the documents created by sensitive state bodies that do not comply to the archival legislation in the sense that they are not free accessible for the public inspection.

TOTAL ARCHIVES STRATEGIJA – TEORIJA I PRAKSA

Author(s): Dražen Kušen / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 12/2009

The paper interprets the term total archives, gives its theoretical explanation and possibilities of its practical implementation in Canadian theory and practice, which is highly valued in the world. Its distinctive feature is reviewed as positive because of its value and significance for preservation of memory totality of a community or a region. Croatian and Slovenian archival theory and practice has headed in similarly basic direction for more than a half a century. More that half a century ago, archival theory and practice in this region was developed independently from other models. Nevertheless, by comparing the principles of total archives strategy with the archival theory and practice in this region, one can notice the basic correspondence of basic archival activities. Implementation of this strategy extends the range and increases the volume of the archival records which become an object of interest to archival profession. Thus, the paper emphasises the importance of multi-level contextual appraisal of archival records in its intra-povenancial and extra-provenancial context. lntra-provenancial context consists of a creator in its narrow provenancial environment. Extra-provenancial context consists of aggregate social, political, economical and cultural environment of the creator. Some of the records could be significant in a broader context from a local to the global level. The perception of the archival records being a part of the world heritage also includes both contents and meaning of total archives strategy. In fact, it recommends a wide documentation of historical development and all the areas of the life of a community, and such a wide trail of a certain time period attempts to preserve and convey to the generations to come valuable material and non-material heritage.

Author(s): Žarko Štrumbl / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 8/2005

The paper discusses the experiences of keeping electronic records and their evaluation in the Republic of Slovenia. In terms of storage and evaluation of electronic records legal basis in the Republic of Slovenia is general and these regulations have certain disadvantages. One of the drawbacks is contained in the fact the absence of regulatory body for independent control of electronic commerce. Proposals of Slovenian archivists are going in the direction that such control should carry through the Agency, and the Office for e-commerce and the issuance of secure seals.

Chapbooks as a very specific genre of printed materials are a unique type of a society‘s material memory, one that is currently under threat due both to its physical medium and its ephemeral nature and bibliographic uniqueness. The Institute of Ethnology of the Czech Academy of Sciences, as one of the bodies tasked with the preservation of the nation‘s cultural heritage in the area of popular culture, has undertaken to process and make publicly available its collection of chapbooks by first publishing them as books and then by digitizing them and cataloguing them in a publicly accessible online database using the MARC 21 format.

STANJE ARHIVSKIH FONDOVA I ZBIRKI OSMANSKOG PERIODA U ARHIVIMA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE

Author(s): Sejdalija Gušić / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 6/2003

From the above facts, we clearly conclude that a great lack of archive material that can accordingly adequately attest to the Ottoman period in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The reasons for this situation, and having in mind all the cataclysm through which the Bosnia and Herzegovina in its historical duration, are not in dispute. However, this should indicate the fact that a significant part of our archival holdings are located in archives outside the country. So far little was done on organized archival research to supplement our funds and collections of documents relating to the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Ottoman period. Work on research archives abroad (Turkey, Austria, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, etc.) is reduced mainly on research for the treatment of certain subjects and not to complex research, to selected documents in the form of a copy placed in archives and made available to researchers. In this regard, it should maximize on mutual cooperation between the archives of Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Archives of the Republic of Turkey (Ankara, 28.10.2000.), and in Bosnia and Herzegovina do and adopt an agreement between archival services and scientific institutions that would predicted unique program complex archival research in the country and abroad, in compliance with current and future needs of historical science. At this point current is acquiring microfilm and copies of cadastre registers for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Sandzak at the time of the Ottoman Empire from the Archives of the Republic of Turkey. This opportunity should be used for such an agreement, and for similar actions in the future to make a considered project with the specification of the types of documents needed for serious historical research. Here I do not mean only in the archives of Turkey, care and archives in Austria, Hungary, ltaly and immediate neighbors, which together with Bosnia and Herzegovina shared the fate of the Ottoman Empire.

VREDNOVANJE DIGITALNIH DOKUMENATA

Author(s): Miroslav Novak / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 5/2002

The rests of information technology as the historical monument has for human race important value. In this context we must search also their archival value. It can be realised on the base of different criteria. One of the possible criteria is measure of the positive economical changes, that reflect in the improved organisation or business of organisations. The basic value of the information technology can be different nature especially as contents, intellectual or physical potential etc. In the process of realisation of digital documents different problems can be noticed such as problem of the original, duplication of digital docu- ments in relation to the paper based archival material, organisation of documents, especially by complex data bases, problems of changing of technology, distributed computing, appraisal of hardware, compatibility of hardware and software for reading and reproduction of electronic documents. Analysis and appraisal of the contents of digital documents introduce in traditional archival theory and practice new professional starting points, which must be combined with the reflections related to the formats or modes of keeping and preserving of digital documents. Technical analysis of the documents is from archival starting point of view a relatively new activity with extraordinarily important importance. The contribution presents one of the models and approaches of ap- praisal of digital documents. Modern legislation, especially that, which regulated access to the public information, will change previous archival practice. New approaches in the process of appraisal of archival material can be expected. Arhivists must be prepared, that the public will have big- ger influence on this process as it is today.

ELEMENTI SAVREMENOGA PROJEKTNOG PRISTUPA KA UREĐENJU DOKUMENTACIJE I NJENO ARHIVIRANJE

Author(s): Peter Pavel Klasinc / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 5/2002

The problems, which appear while managing documentation and archiving it, can be tackled also with a project approach. In that way, we are going to achieve better and especially long/term results. The project includes introductory guidelines, the definitions of used terms and a report about the conditions of the documentation, before the project had been performed. Here, the stage of the development has to be considered and completed with the project. It is very important to set the "VIS" (Plan of Elimination) properly, which is the groundwork of a correct selection and elimination and influences the determination of categories of archival records, that have to be put to a local archive by a suitable avowed person. Special issues in the project approach are the introduction of microfilm technology and scanning.

PREDNOSTI IN PASTI PREVZEMANJA ARHIVSKEGA GRADIVA NA SADOBNIH MEDIJIH

Author(s): Miroslav Novak / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 4/2001

There are various practical experiences in the world "to take archival material in modern media. These, as a rule, do not depend on the media themselves as much as from the pre-preparation of machine-readable material by the mouthpiece and the ability to incorporate electronic documents into electronic archival systems. The possibilities offered by modern communication infrastructure are confirmed by the above thesis. The finding is especially true for data transactions in the same time dimension. The great problem is the takeover of modern media and electronic documents, when, for any reason, they were not consistently carried out all the projects on the side of the creator of such archival material. Problems often begin with hardware-level compatibility, especially for older systems, and are continued through compatibility at the level of operating systems and application software. The largest archival problem occurs at the data level when downloading, since many contextual relationships are often not established, and such records rarely serve the purpose of electronic documents in archives. But this is a socially important activity, but positive legislation in the field of electronic commerce is proven by us.

PROBLEMI ZAGOTAVLJANJA AVTENTIČNOSTI SODOBNIH OBLIK ARHIVSKEGA GRADIVA

Author(s): Miroslav Novak / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 3/2000

Conveying general theoretic and practical conclusions from the area of computer science within archival theory and practice, and thin­ king about archival material as a complex communication channel established amongst individuals or groups from the past, for which, first of all present archivists have to take care of, open new dimensions of re­search of legalities in communication within archival theory and practice. The results of such research essencially represent a stimulus to the knowledge for manipulating with differently written data in the way to guarantee their minimal public faith and protection of originality and credibility independent of the time or the manner they had been written in and the reason why they appeared in a definite legitimate procedure. Guaranting the public faith in archival information is a significant attribute of preserving and maintaining archival material for achiving above mentioned relevance of the information, since they are unique items according to the rules of archival information. This is expressed especially in examples when original documents are being preserved only on a mechanically readable medium or a mechanically readable supstitute of original archival material. From the aspect of archival theory and practice, we conclude that such solution for archival information is necessary only in a horizontal time component, whilst it is relatively difficult to guarantee it after a certain time in a vertical time component. From the point of view of archival theory and practice, we conclude that present forms of elements of guaranting public faith in electronic documents enable its practical implementation through various ways of crypting in open systems, or closed systems, wherby that problem is not so important. Having done this, we have to worn that due to the fast development of information technology, it is not possible to implement existing solution universally in some other space or time unit.

ARHIVIRANJE AUDIOVIZUELNIH DOKUMENATA I PROMJENE TELEVIZIJSKIH TEHNOLOGIJA

Author(s): Branko Bubenik / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 2/1999

Archiving of audio visual records and changesof televisiontechnologies. There is no doubt that the TV archive of the future will be a digital and multimedia one. The problems of the migration of the contents from analog tv documents to a digital ones will provide TV archives with mixed analog/di- gital contents, and they will be museums of old tv equipment and tapes for at least 10 years. Postponed and selective migration is a risk which must not endanger important documents. Moreover, the process of ageing shows the real archive and use value of an AV document, while modern and superior tecnologies spare repeated and expensive migrations of archive documents.

OSOBENOSTI ZAŠTITE I SREĐIVANJA RATNE PRODUKCIJE REGISTRATURNE GRAĐE

The archival materials as cultural goods are protected by the provisions of the international (The Hague Convention and others) and B­H regulations (Law on Archival Activities, Criminal Law and others). All these regulations, however, were not enough to properly protect the archival materials produced before, or during the war 1992­1995. Apart from the direct consequences caused by the war there are numerous other causes due to which these cultural goods were damaged or are still being damaged in the process of producing or protection. Neglect and other problems that have resulted from the social disorders caused by the war are some of those causes. The war has brought about some other questions to be discussed such as character of the archival materials owned by new holders (humanitarian and other international organisations, records belonging to the record offices of the military industry and the like) until now unknown in our archival theory and practice. All these activities require the systemic regulation of the new relations (passing a new law and by­laws) especially those related to an adequate valorisation of the war production of the archival materials. Until then both the record offices and the archival institutions have to do their best to register, protect and sort out the records produced during the war.

REGISTRATURNA GRAĐA NOVIH IMALACA

Author(s): Nijaz Brbutović / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 1/1998

The archives' care of registry materials belonging to new holders starts from the moment of recording those materials, to organising their office and archival activities as regulated by the Law, to supervising whether the agreed upon norms of behaviour are followed. In practice, the situation is very complex. The system of recording is not established the way that information on newly founded record offices are automatically forwarded from the competent courts to the archives. All new holders registered during last year (about 50 of them) were "discovered" while the workers of the Archives of Tuzla were performing their regular tasks in the field. In addition, the new producers or holders of the registry materials behave inadequately and very often nonchalantly in reference to their own office and archival activities. This is especially the case with the private sector, which is still suspicious of any kind of control or supervision, mostly because of not being familiar with the nature and competencies of the archival activities. Despite all difficulties, however, there are a certain number of the new holders who have established the adequate managing of the records, while most of the others are at very beginning of this process.

Research Project for the Preservation of the Cultural and Historical Heritage

Author(s): Darina Ilieva,Gabriela Vaptzarova / Language(s): English Issue: VII/2017

The exceptional contribution of Felix Kanitz to Bulgarian scientific and cultural development is an occasion to present to Bulgarian and European public his artistic and documentary heritage, to turn again our attention to the personality and the significant achievements of the great explorer of the Balkans in the 60s and 70s of the nineteenth century. Kanitz`s imagery and literary heritage belong to the most valuable elements of our material and spiritual culture. In the prospect of association of our society to the European community Kanitz`s works should be understandably promoted in the scientific space so as to point out Felix Kanitz`s cultural contributions to Bulgaria and to better identify his relationship with both the national Bulgarian identity and the Balkans and European nations. The artistic works and literary heritage of F. Kanitz which have been preserved until today are valuable elements of the common European material and spiritual culture. The time has come for them to be presented correctly in the scientific world and through the new communication technologies to become available for the public. The Scientific Archive and the Central Library of BAS have a mutual project for specifying and broadening the knowledge about the life and work of Kanitz, and for digitalizing and publishing pages of his private archives. This is a responsible researchers` task which has an important significance for affiliating the Bulgarian culture into European cultural environment.

In the Travnik Cantonal Archives, donation was received a collection of documents of a court expert with economical profession, which consisted of documentation of the expert procedure, as well as private documents. Considering the special nature of the documentation, by exercising a public authority, we consider that a very interesting collection was received in the Archive. The wish of the lecturer was to ensure that archival material can be used for public, scientific and other social needs after 30 years of its creation. However, such specific documentation requires special processing, protection and conditions. In this paper, we are trying to answer the professional problems that occur with the creator and owners of the archival material of private persons, who by official authorization create public archival material.
