Transition is a complex and time-consuming process through which developing countries, including successor states of the former Yugoslavia, are going. It covers all spheres of human activity, and thus, without exception, also archival activity. It is taking place quite slowly, but with many similarities and differences in individual successor states, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Basically, the archive network is incomplete, archival legislation is insufficient and non-synchronized, material and personnel basis is inadequate and information-technological transformation is insufficient. In the context of the ongoing globalization processes, the new nformation technologies condition, inter alia, a new paradigm of archival activity as a whole, as well as in the field of the education of archival workers at the creators and in the archives. Instead of the classical function, the informational function of archival activities is gaining the significance, the protagonists and carriers of which must be information specialists, which in turn requires the change of the existing educational paradigm. Among other things, there must be changes in the field, which concern the educational involvement of archival workers who work with the records of special and private archives, which is increasing, but has not been the case so far, since all attention has been given to the public archival records. The purpose of the paper is to show some of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the past and the current education in the field of Archives and records management in countries in transition with the aim of improving the state of the spirit of current globalization, integration and science-information beliefs and movements, which requires the creation of a new educational paradigms.
