Summary/Abstract: The Archives Tuzla has met numerous difficulties during the last forty-five years of its existence. The problems that have prevailed have had objective and system nature: inadequate archival legislation, unenviable financial situation, unsuitable archival space, lack of necessary archival equipment and technical means, lack of creative archivists, etc.Nevertheless, the achieved results at the acceptance and the archival treatment of over 120 archival holdings and collections, which were going on as a permanent process even during the war (aggression), of approximately 2000 meters in total, without a doubt prove the social justification of the existence of this institution, and its importance for the cultural and scientific basis of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the further, more successful, and fruitful development of the Archives it is necessary to obtain a greater state concern in order to create material and personnel presuppositions to intensify the on going activities. In that way we would not only protect the unaccepted and left over archival materials, but we would also enable ourselves to act with the enlarged necessities of the citizens, state, science, and culture. The 21st century remains a chance and a hope of the archival branch of business of Bosnia and Herzegovina and of the Archives Tuzla as its very significant segment.
