Summary/Abstract: This article deals with a Czech legal institute called The National Archival Heritage, its significance in legislation, and the archival records registration in the Czech Republic. Such an institute is nothing of a novelty, and is not a Czech particularity either. The concept has been developing since the 1950s. Similar concept of the archival records definition exists, e.g., in Poland (Spis zespolów), Slovakia (Afondy), as well as in other countries in Europe. However, the most significant progress in this composed system is most likely to occur in the Czech Republic. The article talks about the basic features of this tool, its role and genesis.
