Summary/Abstract: It is a known fact that a large number of archival fonds and collections stored in the archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina are incomplete or fragmentary. Although there are no exact data about it, though, on the basis of published knowledge of archivists, we can claim with certainty that the issue was one of the essential problems of this activity. The paper points to the causes of the current unfavorable conditions that are generally still present in the work of the registry and archives, at different levels of complexity of this issue, and to some the most important (and possible) modalities for completing the incomplete archive funds, and directing of attention to proper handling of archives with current records in order at this stage, ie. preserving the integrity of emerging fund.
