The paper presents an overview of the strategic documents, legal regulations and activities of the Croatian archival service of the past decades related to electronic records. Issues dealing with the development and implementation of e-archives and electronic records management are mostly related to e-government, and the ability of Croatian archives to collect, process and manage electronic born documentation is still an entirely open question that is waiting to be accessed in a systematic way. The draft of the new archives law proposal attempts to establish a legal framework for long-term protection of electronic records, which should be followed with specific measures and activities to resolve current problems in archives - lack of funding, strategic partnership and competencies for dealing with electronic records and implementation of e-archive system.
