Summary/Abstract: In the report the author discusses the private archives that he believes exist in BiH, but are not defined as such in the relevant legislation. In the opinion of the author, this allows insufficient care of private archives, which can seriously endanger the privately owned archival material. The history taught us that the documentary heritage in BiH has always had a poor physical protection, whereas from 1992 it is additionally threatened by poor technical protection. This is the reason to take care of every document and thereby salvage the remainder of this priceless treasure, which in this country is missed more often that not. The legislative definition of private archives would enable their registration as such in the records of authorized state archives, as well as copying and presenting of their materials, which would both allow and force the authorized institutions to take all possible measures of care for this heritage of human creativity the continues to be very important to us.
