Summary/Abstract: In this presentation, we have only presented a small part of the activities that the Archival Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina accomplished since its foundation in order to improve archival activity. Based on the above, it is recognized that the importance of Arhivist Association in the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina is immutable. The association was a constant cohesive force linking archival service and archival activity. Since the archival service was organized in Bosnia and Herzegovina until the 1950s, thearchival professional association, organized in that period, was actually a factor in the improvement of archival practice. The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina has severely damaged the archival service and has sumped its growth by several years. However, archival workers, organized in their professional associations, are trying to deal with the issues and go hand in hand with modern archival activity. This is also a continuous goal of the publication Herald of Archives and the Archival Association of Bosnia andHerzegovina, which has so far been published in 46 issues. Archival staff members of the Association have been selflessly advancing the profession. In the Preface of the Herald of Archives and the Archival Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina published during 1995, last year of the war, the admiration and gratitude for “archival employees, these enthusiasts without borders” was expressed. There is nothing better and more truthful to be said for archivists.
