HRVATSKI ARHIVI I TRANZICIJA
CROATIAN ARCHIVES AND TRANSITION

Summary/Abstract: Since the establishment of the sovereign Republic of Croatia and since the change of social and political system, archival activities and work of state archives have been influenced by various processes: transition, democratization, introduction of information technology, globalization, mod­ ernization of state administration, dissemination of nee­liberal economy, development of information society and many others. Archives have been faced with enormous quantities of archival records on which they were not specifically focused in the previous period, and also with issues concerning transfer, arranging use, ownership relations and other problems concerning that material. Expansion of the framework of activities, development of new services and adaptation of traditional tasks to market conditions and modern social trends, all additionally pointed out the old, so far unresolved problems and led to the appearance of new ones. This paper shows some of the fac­ tors considered prerequisites for the successful work of Croatian archives in the modern environment ­ unification and standardization of business pro­ cesses, fulfillment of supervising function in relation to the creators, develop­ ment of information role of the archive and implementation of a integrated national archival system.
