Abstract

The construction of an archives' library collection is determined by functional position of archival institution in the community which establishes it. Its structure is directly linked with archives tasks on acquisition, preservation, arrangement and access to archival documents. We derive principles for the collection development and its formation, that is, for the selection of included types of materials and representation of particular scientific or professional areas from its main task to ensure information support in performing archives’ essential functions. Users community, that consists of archivists and researchers, is primarily interested in contents referring information on records creator on legislative and actual level, as well as on general context in which creator performed its activities. Besides, archivists are interested in archival literature for the purpose of professional education and for resolving problems concerning archival arrangement. In this paper we tell how that reflects on the collection developing policy, which problems rise and which factors have influence on the actual position of archival libraries.
