In this study we examine the occurrences and correspondences of terms for affinal kinship in a Bulgarian–Ukrainian parallel corpus of fiction. All instances of the terms selected for study, matching and non-matching, were located and counted, and the frequencies compared. Some of the asymmetries found may have roots in culture and history whilst others reflect diverse features of language and the practice of literary translation.

Archiving of audio visual records and changesof televisiontechnologies. There is no doubt that the TV archive of the future will be a digital and multimedia one. The problems of the migration of the contents from analog tv documents to a digital ones will provide TV archives with mixed analog/di- gital contents, and they will be museums of old tv equipment and tapes for at least 10 years. Postponed and selective migration is a risk which must not endanger important documents. Moreover, the process of ageing shows the real archive and use value of an AV document, while modern and superior tecnologies spare repeated and expensive migrations of archive documents.

Social changes and the need for adjusting to new market conditions have been significantly reflected on the efficient functionning of banks, since the essence of modern banking acitivity is the speed of providing with banking services, and quick and simple approach to data for every bank's beneficiary. New technologies and new bearers of information give the possibility for application of modern archiving and handling with register material. They are manifested in modern banking system, mostly based on electronic data processing, thus creating the possibility of substitution the classical system of archiving. However, application of new modern ways of archiving depends to a great extent on economic state of banks as well as on an obligation to fitt into international standards in this area. Besides, majority of experts in this field still have numerous dilemmas in terms of possibilities of new technologies to answer some specific inquiries when it comes to the authencity and credibility of documents. Therefore, it is necessary to build a proper system which would provoke more successful and universal care for registry work in banks by joint efforts of the archival profession and all banking and financing institutions in the country.

In the article we tried to present one of the sources of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina after the second world war, which can be found in the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia. We described bosnian chil- dren: war orphans, children without one of the parents, displaced and sick children, who in the years 1945 - 1956 recovered their health in Slovenia and were repatriated with few exceptions. However, we would like to call attention to the usefulness of gathering all the different evidences, already listed in the article and saved in one place, in the frames of some scientific or archivistic project in a unitary computer basis. Such project would result in at least approximate number of children, names and surnames included, sometimes even birth dates or residences with full addresses. Those children are now almost retired and according to our experiences young pensioners are the most frequent us- ers of the archival material. So why don't we recall the part of their past, that might have escaped their memory?

Positiv regulations of the Republic of Srpska are: The Law on Cultural Goods and the Law on Archival Activity, implementing regulations passed on the basis of the law, and the Instructions and regulations issued by the archives of the republic of Serbia under the law. The adopted regulations represent a significant step in the development of archival activity in Republika Srpska. They should be able to represent a harmonized and complete system, often mutually incompatible with these regulations. These regulations are in the function of the necessary independence of Republika Srpska legislation as well as archival activities as a whole. Of course, this does not mean that there is no express interest in the organization of this activity under the jurisdiction of the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Law on Archival Activity is the last in a series of laws in the field of cultural goods protection. This is a fundamental law for all types of archival material, which is of immense importance, as the development of archival activity certainly goes hand in hand to acquiring archives for downloading and preserving electronic documents. In this respect, the adoption of regulations in this area is closely monitored. Unfortunately, in the process of adopting these regulations, the Republika Srpska Archive has not been included or consulted in any way. Of the direct relevance to the archive service are also the regulations regulating the handling of documents while these are still found by the creators, ie the way of keeping certain types of records or deadlines for keeping the documents. Although archival activity in Republika Srpska after 10 years is not organized on the entire territory of Republika Srpska, nor is it adequately organized, nor is it equipped with exhaustive means, nor is it financed, it can be concluded that laws and accompanying subordinate and implementing regulations in this area represent a rounded unity and a powerful tool for performing all the functions of the Archive.

KUL Library constitutes an excellent workplace for scholars from many fields, including theologians, historians, philologists who study the achievements of Isidore of Seville - a great erudite, author of the famous Etymologiae, an outstanding teacher and tutor of medieval Europe. The library collection includes all his scriptures, edited by J.P. Migne (volumes 81-83 of Patrologiae Latinae), also in the form of critical editions in recent collections and series. In addition, it has numerous publications, although published before 1990, dedicated to the life and legacy of Isidore, primarily by J. Fontaine, as well as the works referring to the times and cultural environment of the encyclopaedist. Isidore was a compiler, so it is crucial for a researcher dealing with Isidore to be acquainted with his sources - works of classical authors and Christians, Greek and Latin writers and poets, which are also in the collections of KUL Library.The Bishop of Seville’s knowledge was of a literary character, but related to God and the whole world created by him. The library contains the literature necessary for the researcher, who, wishing to understand Isidore-a specialist, should educate himself in these fields of knowledge on which Isidore worked. Difficulties arising from the lack of necessary publications in the library are effectively resolved by taking advantage of the effectively functioning Interlibrary Loan. In recent years, KUL Library has been enriched with modern tools such as the Electronic Card Catalog and Digital Library. Providing access to scientific databases enables readers to find works on Isidore, which are written in the most remote corners of our planet. The staff of the Library deserve special gratitude. They are consistently competent, helpful and dedicated to their work. Their knowledge and kindness are the second – apart from the extensive collection - magnet which attracts numerous readers (also the ones working on Isidore) to KUL Library from all over the country.

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60s. The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.

The author points out a personal statement, made on the basis of many years of work in the Archives of Yugoslavia, that the archival material, at the present time, and inevitably in the future, as located, arranged and worked on in archives, by nature and, even, necessarily be available such information - group or individual. From the initial availability only informative resources on archives (inventories, lists, registers, Abstract, etc.), Progressed to the availability of information about individual archive documents and data in them. It contributes to the development of information technology, which encourage and even coerced archives to use them. Technological development also provides fast access to archival information (scanning, digitizing, etc.) and their transfer to the destination of their customers, who do not have to come and reserve time on research in the archives. Availability of archival documents and archival information will face three major problems: a) the will and ill-will state administrations for their broader or narrower availability, b) supporting the development of legal regulations (legal and regulatory) and c) for a faster and more extensive bandwidth of archival information, which can be slow, due to uneven standardization and outdated technology. At the end of the paper sets out the proposals for solutions to basic problems in the availability of archives and archival information.
