Summary/Abstract: Archive material is the safest and the most protected in archival in­stitutions. This statement is supported by data of the destruction of archive material in the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina and five cantonal archives (Bihać, Mostar, Tuzla, Travnik and Sarajevo). It is the result of an adequate care of archive workers. However, the state is significantly different in registry offices, whereby register materials have been exposed by constant destruction ­ during the war as well as after the war. This is indicated by mentioned examples of destruction of material in registry offices under the supervision of the Archive of B&H. Similar situation is in many other registries across B&H. Unsolved status of the Archive B&H and cantonal archives contributes to it. Firstly, the process should be stopped and then the process of reconstruction of damaged archival material should be approached, by among other things, using film material of TV B&H, which has been permanently following the work of state authorities at the highest level.
