Summary/Abstract: A very important factor in the performance of archival activities is represented by a valid legal regulations. In the transition period the old legislation was in effect, but it did not correspond to that time. Act of archival activity in the area of Tuzla Canton was passed in 2000, which is in our opinion a positive effect on overall relations in the archives. Dayton administrative structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina has adopted a number of problems regarding the archival activities in general, and in particular the current records of, especially as a result of disruption of pre-war archival network. An examination of the state of current records of the administrative bodies has been found that in a number of registriess are missing a very valuable structure (building, technical approaches, project documentation, etc.). In order to ensure better performance protection of registry materials it is necessary to numerically improve staff of the External Service of an archive, then constantly educate people who work on the handling of records is insistence on constant implementation of penal provisions for the negligent treatment of registry material (including responsible persons), or in case of working illegally. In addition, there must be a more constructive role of archivists in legislative drafting and professional standards for the protection of archives.
