Valuable and unique documents in the archival legislation of the Russian Federation
The need to consider the place of valuable and unique documents in the system of archival legislation of the Russian Federation is due to the fact that valuable and unique documents represent the cultural heritage of the state, reflect the system of values of the people, its history, spiritual views, at the same time may contain information constituting a state secret. Valuable and unique documents should be protected, their selection, storage and transfer should be regulated, the legal framework for their identification, storage, transfer and destruction should be improved. However, the challenges of the ХХI century are that the development of information technologies, including electronic media for storage and transmission of information to future generations, is accelerating. The system of law does not have time to display new media, as well as to determine the importance of certain documents in the array of information, the volume of which is growing every year. Our goal is to study the issues of legal regulation of valuable and unique documents in the legislation of the Russian Federation.
