Summary/Abstract: Culture and its assets create one of the most important segments of every state and its citizens. Archival material is a cultural asset, thus its preservation becomes the precondition for a continuing process of enrichment of people. A human being, without its culture and history, its past and heritage becomes alienated, lost and subject to every kind of abu se. Archival material represents an everlasting source for history research. That's why it has to be protected, first and foremost by the experts employed in archival institutions and by those working in the archives creating organizations. Each state regulates this area by adopting archival laws and bylaws. Legislators include in their criminal statutes articles that deal with " destruction or withhold of the archival material" and in their archival laws chapters like " penalty statements" wishing to preserve and protect the archival and documentary material by applying those articles. The archival legislation is the precondition for the protection of the archival and documentary material.
