Abstract:
In 2018, the Archive of Bosnia and Herzegovina digitized for the first time a complete fond - the BiH Religious Affairs Commission. This particular fond was selected because it was highly sought after, had no backups and consisted of only 114 archival boxes, which is the appropriate volume for the pilot project. In addition, the documents have been processed with an OCR program (it is necessary to manually enter certain corrections though). Once stored in the database, it was possible to be simultaneously used by several researchers from different locations and without contact with the originals. Suddenly, it has become simply unthinkable that until yesterday a technician had to go to the depot to fetch requested document. Almost unthinkable. The remaining 99% of the fonds are still processed by conventional methods. However, the example of the Religious Affairs Commission demonstrated in practice what kind of a bright future awaits the archives, after they master their first clumsy steps toward full digital maturity.
This paper presents current progress in the Archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its efforts to move forward with this demanding process, since the digital archive has been recognized as an indispensable part of the time to come.

Digitalizirano gradivo v Arhivu Bosne in Hercegovine - varstvo in dostop
V letu 2018 je Arhiv Bosne in Hercegovine prvič digitaliziral celoten fond, in sicer fond Komisija za verske zadeve Bosne in Hercegovine. Ta fond je bil izbran, ker je povpraševanje po gradivu v njem veliko, ker ni imel varnostnih kopij dokumentov in je obsegal le 114 arhivskih škatel, dovolj za pilotno digitalizacijo. Dokumenti so bili obdelani tudi s programom za prepoznavo pisave, čeprav je še vedno potrebno ročno vnašati popravke. Ko so bili digitalizati vnešeni v sistem, jih je lahko istočasno uporabljalo več raziskovalcev z različnih lokacij, brez poseganja po originalnem gradivu. Nenadoma je postalo nepredstavljivo, da bi moral arhivski tehnik prinesti zahtevane dokumente iz skladišča. No, skoraj nepredstavljivo. Še vedno je namreč 99 odstotkov fondov v obdelavi na tradicionalen način. Primer digitaliziranega fonda in njegove uporabe pa prikazuje, kakšna prihodnost čaka arhive, ko bodo usvojili prve korake.
Avtor bo predstavil zdajšnji napredek v Arhivu Bosne in Hercegovine ter njegove težnje po nadaljevanju tega procesa, saj se je digitalni arhiv pokazal kot nepogrešljiv del prihodnosti.
