We live in a world where we increasingly encounter electronic form of material and we are also using this form more and more often. Material in paper form is still being created, but to a much lesser extent than in the past. With the growth of material in electronic form, it is necessary to take care of it throughout its entire life cycle and later to take care of its efficient and safe storage. This diploma thesis was divided into two parts, the theoretical and the empirical part. The theoretical part was further divided into four parts. In the first part, we presented the classic and electronic storage and related laws and regulations. In the second part, we presented archiving in general, possible ways for long-term storage of material, and the life cycle of documentary material. In the third part, we presented electronic archives, and in the fourth part the Slovenian public electronic archives e-ARH.si. In the empirical part, we conducted a survey with employees of archival institutions on the topic of the e-ARH.si project, as they are the key users of this newly created technological solution. As part of the analysis, it was established that the e-ARH.si project is an appropriate solution for solving the problem of long-term preservation of electronic archives, and represents a much-needed step towards modernizing the operation of the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia and regional archives. In order for the project to work successfully, it will be necessary to provide a sufficient amount of financial and other resources in the future. The establishment of the project will enable better access and easier submission and use of materials for users. The project is useful both for the archives that receive the material, as well as for those who submit the material or. access it, as the process itself will be faster and more efficient with the help of information technology.
