State of preservation of archival materials taken from the field of education funds in the Archives of Canton is unsatisfactory. No funds are complete (they are rather fragmentary) nor their physical condition is proper. Neither the state of archival arrangement is not appropriate, although funds are available for use for scientific and other purposes. Because of the fragmentary structure of a small number of funds has inventories completed. That seems reasonable and justified by the fact that the majority of funds covers the period up to 1945. whether the registry stopped working or it continued to work, as is more often the case. Archives took over the holdings of various associations and joint institutions in the field of education made in accordance with the joint paper in 1976. which is good. In short: the state of registry and archival materials in the field of education must be given greater attention. We would be necessary to restore some of the archival funds from current and archival materials ,,live" registry, which requires adequate archival research. It would also be needed that at the stage of archival fund formation there should be concrete following of archival standards.

The efforts of Bosnian society to approach and follows the developed countries through information technology has led to the development of information technologies in various spheres of our society, including the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The use of paper documents into business generates significant limitations, costs and risks. Circulation of paper documents is slower than the flow of information processes supported by modern software applications, and negatively affects the speed and quality of the process. In addition, the manipulation of paper documents, particularly in dislocated environment is causing damage and loss of documents, which can have significant consequences.

In the first half of the 18th century, following the establishment of the two Magistrates, German and Rascian, in Timisoara were created the armed Citizen Guards, which had both a military role, being involved in the Austro-Turkish conflict of 1738–1739, and a civil one, ensuring the security and city order, quarantine in hospitals etc. Known as Bürgergarde and Freie Compagnie, these units are quite rarely mentioned in documents until 1781. With the granting of the rights of free royal city in 1781, the Citizen Guards were reorganized in Timisoara, being equipped with new uniforms, weapons and flags. According to the preserved statistical data, in 1782 the German guard had 154 members, and the Serbian guard had 118 members. The German and Serbian detachments of the Citizen Guard were placed under the command of the mayor of the city. Two decades later, in 1809, the Citizen Guard from Timisoara counted 1400 pedestrians and a company of 100 horsemen. The cavalry division, equipped similar to the Austrian dragoon units, was generally recruited from the German population, while the infantry was recruited from the German and Serbian citizens, but organized separately. The two M. 1836 helmets kept in the collection of the National Museum of Banat are among the few pieces of this type owned by museums in our country. Over time identified with the Shooting Society or with the fire brigade, the helmets are originally of military origin, being produced for the Austrian cavalry officers, during the reign of the emperor Ferdinand I (1835–1848). The Citizen Guard from Timisoara adopted helmets in the equipment of the cavalry company, later the equipment being generalized to all units of the Guard. Dissolved in 1848, the Citizen Guard in its old structure was not re-established in the following period. The pompous equipment of the past ended up in the patrimony of the families of the former guards and in the props of the Shooting Societies, societies established by the members of the Guard. Two of the M.1836 helmets once worn by the members of the Citizen Guard became part, through the kindness of Meskó Béla and Babusnik Emil, of the museum’s collection, being today among the most attractive exhibits of the military collection.
