Summary/Abstract: Archives in Bosnia and Herzegovina are increasingly adopting modern ways of communication, which include various tools - websites, press conferences, scientific and professional meetings, but do not give up traditional formsof communication, such as publishing and exhibition activity. Organization of theexhibition is a way of opening the archive to the public, a means of attracting visitorsand forms of educational and pedagogical activity. Exhibitions are a continuous activity of the archives, they are intended for the general public and can receive excellent results regarding the number of visitors. Through the realization of this typeof cultural content, the dynamic development of archival activity can be monitored,while achieving a certain level of cooperation with the wider community, which,again, has a significant impact on the promotion and affirmation of the archivalprofession. Today, in the age of information technology, archives are confronted withgreat challenges because they have to adapt to changes, even in the segment ofexhibition activity.
