As a result of several factors, in recent years, archiving in Kosovo has not been developed at high institutional levels.Managerial neglect to the extent of abuse in the last years before the war, lack of investment for optimal material conditions (technical-technological and spatial) as well as for the profiling of staff, become negative factors that hinder progressive progress in the professional work of archives. Consequently, the current situation is characterized by multidimensional aspects, which challenge the establishment and development of this activity.In terms of content, these challenges are related to low quality and insufficient legislation, registrations, their work and the state of documentation - archive material they manage, the lack of bylaws and especially its (non) implementation, lack of optimal housing conditions. , i.e. storage of archival material, for its protection and storage in their intended spaces, with the lack of equipment for air conditioning, for protection from moisture, rodents, mold, etc., with the lack of qualified and profiled staff.Such a situation is by no means even better today in public archival institutions, starting from the local to the central level (Archives in municipalities and other local institutions, Inter-Municipal Archives and the State Agency of Archives of Kosovo). The reflection of this situation in the "gro-plan", some ideas and reference proposals for facing these challenges and overcoming them are the objective and effort that are intended to be achieved with my brief elaboration within this topic.

The material I am presenting, consists of a serious scientific and historical handling of the work with documents in the Prefecture of Elbasan. The archival service in our country as the one in Elbasan Prefecture has been running throughout the stages of birth, formation and consolidation of the Albania state. The archival activity in this administrative local government unit has undergone several stages of development and growth. Starting from secretariats, correspondence offices (1912-1944) to archival offices at state institutions (1945-1990), as well as the establishment and functioning of the Local State Archives in the towns of Elbasan, Librazhd and Gramsh as centers of collections, preservation, arrangement and servicing of archive funds (1990-2017). In 2001, the Regional State Archive of the Elbasan Prefecture was established, as a coordination and management center of all archival work of the prefecture. The local state archive has actually accomplished one of the directions of its activity by obtaining and bringing all fund-creators documents (1945-1990)to the center, creating optimal conditions for their storage, scientific arrangement, and at the same time, to serve the archival funds within the framework of the motif “Free Society, Open Archives”. Currently the activity of the Elbasan Local State Archive is facing new challenges in line with the technological achievements in this field.

A very important methodological issue in the preservation of digitized documents is their preservation in the original, unchanged form. Another important issue is the provision of documents through the server (file), the prevention of which should be almost identical to the repository. In this context, it has been proven that if interference is made from outside or inside, the document will lose its authenticity. In addition to the document, the credibility of the institution is also damaged, an issue that clearly highlights the special role and importance of the digital document security factor. The topic I have researched aims to address the protection of digital documents from various interferences. The researched problem is mainly based on the latest relevant literature, which has been published in scientific and professional journals, web pages of well-known archives, as well as professional websites.Scientific methods have also been taken into account, such as: induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, as well as the method of comparison, these methods which, in addition to the scientific-methodological side, have made it possible for me to reach the supported result as easily as possible. professional-scientific, which in this case I consider a modest achievement related to the issue of protection of digitized documents.

To serve in the archive, in addition to commitment, also means maximum responsibility. Especially working in a warehouse or storage of archival documents requires maximum commitment and special dedication. Furthermore, I will call it a challenge in its own right, given the difficulties and problems that constantly accompany us, such as various problems of a technical nature, then the lack of tools and optimal conditions for the preservation of archival material, etc. Despite this reality, the State Archive of Kosovo continues its activity and activity intensively and with complete success. Archival documents are our memory, because they provide opportunities to recognize the various developments of political, legal, cultural, economic, educational processes, etc., from the past. Therefore, institutional care and responsibility should always be at the maximum level. Also, service and care to stakeholders should be at the highest level of responsibility. The Kosovo Archive did extraordinary extra work in taking care of the archive material and the parties, due to the fact that the archival material continues to come to us in a raw state since the last war, and of course this requires double work.

The terminological language in the archival representation process has not been studied enough in Albanian archival science. Archival representation is one of the basic processes in archival institutions. This process involves two important aspects, systematizing and documenting archival units, based on international and national archival standards.This paper deals with aspects related to the description of archival units and specifically the 128 elements of the indexing language. Indexing language is the artificial language that archivists create during the archive descriptive process creating, as a result, a controlled language. The controlled language that is produced enables access and re-functionalization of archival units. Much of the archival institutions in the country are investing in the creation of integrated systems that allow the use of archival collections in distance. This is a very good opportunity for users to put archive information systems in direct contact with users without the presence of an archivist. This new development in communicating with users brings to our attention, the particular care we need to show towards the language of the information system we plan to establish.The paper analyzes the cases found in some databases created by archival institutions and comes to concrete conclusions related to the need to standardize the index language not only for a normal access by users to archival collections, but also to enable co-operation between archives and exchange of archival information both nationally and regionally.

Every state or local institution, large or small, functions by leaving traces through official / archival documents and its activity. This trace is determined by the documents it produces, by their secretary-archives. These documents, after being produced, in most cases serve the dynamics of the work of the institution that produces it, while at these secretaries-archives their storage, protection and technical processing is done until they are submitted to the relevant local state archive. Acceptance and submission of archival material to the local state archives is regulated by the Law on Archives in the Republic of Albania, dated 6.11.2003, which is in fact the basic law that regulates the entire activity of the Archival Network of the Republic of Albania. Archival documents created by local institutions upon the expiration of the term of operational service by the fund creator, are submitted to the local archive competent for permanent storage in accordance with the legislation in question. The archival fund is the memory of a state or people, which through what we create, preserve, protect and prove the historical memory, prove who we were, how we lived and acted. So, in a word, through archival documents we preserve and tell the past our historical.

The Albanian League of Prizren (June 10, 1878), the years of the League 1878-1881, are of crucial importance for modern Albanian history. During these three years, an Albanian national movement was born, for the first time in the public and European opinion (after Skanderbeg) which took place. We are aware of the existence of the Albanian issue. The role and importance of the Albanian League of Prizren, to this day remains a strong link in the Albanian historical vertical, and especially in the beginning of the articulation of the Project for the unification of the Albanian Vilayets into a single autonomous whole. Processes of the time (creation of states) through which the region and European countries went. This study aims to present the primary role and importance not only of documents published to date from various archives, but also the need for further research to see the light of the numerous documents found in various archives that speak of this important event.

This article is a comparative analysis of two descriptions of walking in ghettoes – the Warsaw and the Łódź one. Moving within the methodological framework of the spatial turn in the contemporary humanities and basing on texts produced then and there, the author analyzes the records of the experience of the Holocaust space in the two largest Jewish ghettoes in occupied Europe. Focusing on records of sensory experiences, he analyzes Stanisław Różycki’s texts from the collection „Street Scenes from the Ghetto.” Scenes from the Life of the Warsaw Ghetto and his study „The Street.” The Appearance and Social Life of the Street in the Ghetto (published in volume 1 of the English edition of the Ringelblum Archive), and also Dr. Bernard Heilig’s reportage from the Łódź ghetto entitled “The First Seven Months in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto” (published in The Chronicle of the Łódź Ghetto and in an anthology of texts from the Łódź ghetto entitled Oblicza getta [faces of the ghetto]). Based on these records of walking in the ghetto space, the author attempts to answer the question as to how exactly it was perceived and experienced by Jews locked inside them. This article is a contribution to broader reflections on the topic of the sensory experience of the Holocaust space.

Powstała w 1944 r. Centralna Żydowska Komisja Historyczna dziś jest kojarzona przede wszystkim z tytanicznym wysiłkiem zebrania wszelkiego rodzaju materiałów dotyczących zagłady Żydów. Bez spisywanych przez pracowników Komisji relacji świadków, uzyskanych pamiętników i dokumentów badanie Zagłady byłoby prawie niemożliwe; są one materiałem źródłowym wykorzystywanym w niemal każdym opracowaniu naukowym poświęconym losom Żydów w okupowanej Polsce.

Based on archival analysis our paper presents the research which, for the first time, examines the role of opium in some of the nation-states emerged from the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire — Bulgaria, Turkey and Serbia (later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia); tracing the period before World War II. During the interwar period 43% of the opium on the international market came from the contested Macedonian region that was split between Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Greece after World War I. Following the Yugoslavian-Turkish agreement this percentage increased to 80%, while the Balkans became part of the notorious French connection. By using the methods of Histoire croisée, our report attempts to show the interrelations within the Balkan states in relation to opium politics, the porous new national borders, ethic collaboration and rivalry in the (il)legal opium trade business.

Purpose: Innovations in the Study Hall and the Digitized Archival Document as an Assistant for Researchers, aims to show the changes that the Study Hall has undergone as a result of the digitalization of the archival document. Also, this paper aims to highlight the impact it has had the process of online service in the hall for researchers and to present a statistical analysis on storage units that have been served digitized to researchers during this period. Research Methods: This study is based on the Study Hall and Library regulations as well as the annual analysis of the Sector of Study Hall and Library. The data are taken out from the daily orders for the service of the storage units in the Study Room. Based on these orders are calculated the total amount of digitized storage units served for one year and a half and so far, the total number of researchers. Results: This study is of interest as it sheds light on improving the service for researchers by extending the duration of this service in the hall, giving study opportunities to those researchers who do not have the opportunity to study due to commitments during the official working day. The digitalization of documents has facilitated the process of utilization of archival documents. Moreover, it has been provided a virtual connection between the researchers with the digitized archival document. Due to this result, the number of researches has increased. Digitalization has helped to have fruitful cooperation between representatives of various institutions.

Today the digital world is at its highest development. Like any other institution, the Archives face the challenge of digitalizing its activity, however, this process is more complicated than other processes, it requires great professionalism and such dedication, but above all financing whether internal or external, private or institutional. Initially, the Archive had as its mission the collection of archival material and its preservation, but now the Archive as an educational institution has other missions which are at the same time very significant as the two above, divisions such as: systematization, regulation, classification, publication, conservation, restoration and digitalization, today they are not only a mission for the Archive but at the same time they are very important sectors-departments for the Archive as an institution and not only. Digitalization as a sector or department in itself is just as important for both the Archive and the citizen, where its work and function is required and seen as the most complex part, but also as the purest part for both users. For the Archive, digitalization is an endless process, this process requires the latest equipment, software, and this necessarily conditions the updating of the storage of documentation, which we perform by transferring or migrating the subject to a newer program or apparatus. This procedure aims to advance the work and shorten the time of operational or scientific work such as: avoiding excessive paperwork, saving time for providing archive material in warehouses, compiling state encyclopedias, various scientific works such as: scientific research, personal research, educational research (diploma), etc.

Punimi “Çështja shqiptare në arkivat britanike në vitet 1919-1923”, së pari, ka për qëllim të hedhë dritë mbi dokumentet zyrtare të çështjes shqiptare gjatë kohës kur u mbajt Konferenca e Paqes në Paris dhe, pas saj; së dyti, qëndrimin zyrtar dhe jozyrtar të Zyrës së Jashtme Britanike (Foreign Office) mbi çështjen shqiptare dhe, së treti, alternativat e palës britanike në konferencë për zgjidhjen e çështjes shqiptare. Ky studim është mbështetur në dokumentet arkivore të Britanisë së Madhe, dhuruar nga studiues shqiptarë Drejtorisë së Përgjithshme të Arkivave, të cilat përfshijnë telegrame dhe letërkëmbime midis zyrtarëve britanikë të kohës, ku përmendet çështja shqiptare, sugjerimet për zgjidhjen e saj, si dhe qëndrimi ndaj saj në varësi të interesave britanike në rajon. Në këtë studim do të jemi të aftë t’i evidentojmë rezultatet që ka pasur qëndrimi britanik në çështjen shqiptare të kësaj periudhe. Gjithashtu, ndikimin që kanë pasur nismat zyrtare dhe jozyrtare të qeverisë britanike dhe se sa kanë ndikuar këto nisma në zgjidhjen e saj. Në bazë të shfrytëzimit të dokumentacionit arkivor do të mund t’i analizojmë efektet që ka pasur politika britanike mbi çështjen shqiptare në veçanti si dhe nëse ka pasur vërtet një nismë britanike për çështjen shqiptare.

Në këtë punim do të shkruajmë për qasjen në dokumente dhe do të japim një përshkrim të shkurtër të dokumenteve dhe të fondeve arkivore më kryesore që përmbajnë të dhëna pronësie për periudhën pas vitit 1912. Punimi është konceptuar si një narrativë historike me referenca arkivore, i cili do të karakterizohet nga një hyrje e përgjithshme dhe do të vijë në linjë kronologjike me llojin e dokumenteve që ruhen në AQSh, si dhe rëndësinë e tyre në procesin e njohjes së pronës private në Shqipëri. Punimi nuk do të jetë i llojit të paraqitjes të fakteve bruto, të përshkrimit, apo të interpretimit të tipareve të dokumentit, por do ta sjellë fuqinë juridike që ai dëshmon si rrjedhojë e burimit të prejardhjes së tij arkivore. Sigurisht, në qendër të punimit do të qëndrojë arkivi si koncept dhe si model i informimit të shoqërisë
