Summary/Abstract: Bosnian-Herzegovinian heritage institutions share unique historical origin as, after all, is the case of many other heritage institutions, starting with their initial establishment in the ancient history. Today’s Bosnian-Herzegovinian heritage institutions’ convergence is resulting from their common historical origin, but it is also shaped by their later development trends regarding professional, legal and academic framework, all that followed by obvious influences of information and communication technologies of today. The paper follows parallelisms between important Bosnian-Herzegovinian national memory institutions – archives, libraries and museums – from their inception, establishment of professional, legal and academic framework to the complex social roles realizing today. Besides, their convergence is recognized as the most fruitful framework of their social activities, both in the past and today.
