Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the nature of archival knowledge and its representation in the university education programs of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author presents research about the presence of archival knowledge in programs of university education in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results of these studies confirm the fact of inadequate, very reduced presence of archival knowledge , even in the field of History programs, where it is still present. According to the author it is the consequences of an inadequate status of archival science and archival knowledge in society, but also of an inadequate relation towards the scientific characteristics of archival knowledge within the profession. Bureaucratic structures in the academic area of Bosnia and Herzegovina have not yet recognized the importance of archival knowledge in the system of globalization of knowledge that should be realized through the full implementation of the Bologna process, so that the initiative of the experts and scientists from the base (archives , archival associations) do not accept. Exit from the current unsatisfactory situation author sees in endeavor of archivists to improve the situation.
