Abstract
Archives, as public, hereditary, cultural and information institutions, have an important, but still poorly recognized and deployed educational potential. Because of that, it is necessary to continuously inform all participants of the pedagogical-educational process about importance of archives and archival collections, which can help teachers in their preparation of high quality lessons. Furthermore, it can help students to improve their historical reasoning using visual teaching materials more interesting than the one available in books. Initiating and maintaining the cooperation with pedagogical-educational institutions would improve preparation of workshop materials, digitalization and preparation of archival materials for the classrooms, and on-line publication. Publication of electronic materials based on the archival material, and manuals for study and interpretation of archival materials would further improve information literacy of the students. Also, this would be an important help to the archival sciences for systematic development of its pedagogical segment.
