Summary/Abstract: Archival service of Bosnia nad Herzegovina, aware of significant changes caused by war during ninetees of 20. century, at its First postwar meeting decided to precisely follow scientific postulates, as well as those of archival theory and practice, in order to ensure needed treatment for archival material created during period of the war. Considering the conditions in which this archival material was created and conditions the archival service found itself in, this task has only been partialy realised. Statistics about collections and funds taken by Archives of Unsko Sanski canton show that this institution had a good lead of taking over all archival material created during war, especially one created by war authorities and Bihać county. This is supposed to be basis for further activities, firstly for reclaiming funds of Bihać county, municipality of Bosanski Petrovac and some related video materials, and then completing other collections related to the war period. Considering specific position of creators of wartime archival material, as well as some of its contextual values, it is up to Archival service of Bosnia and Herzegovina to establish concrete measures and steps to prevent loss of these valuable historical sources.
