The two main functions of the portal are:  provide up-to-date information on archives for professionals, for users and for the general public (e.g. research rules and possibilities, legal framework, new publications, exhibitions, conferences, projects, professional guidelines etc.); and service a joint database integrating the various individual archival data and digitized archival records (maps, documents, files, etc.) of the collaborative institutions. The paper focuses on the second function, describing the structure, content and services of the Joint Archival Database, which is made up of six separate databases (integrated database, fonds and subfonds, cadastral maps – settlements names, documents of the communist party, archival publications, archontology and name directories) in one frame system.
