Abstract
In the report proposed by the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) on the topic "The Archives of BTA – History, Status and Prospects" the following topics and issues are presented and developed: Institutional origin, content, and organization of the BTA archives and functioning of the archives in the e-environment. In order to acquaint you with the establishment of the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency in 1898, as a special service for the delivery of telegraph messages for events abroad at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Denominations (MIA), the different periods of the Agency's functioning, the first bulletins issued, the first director, and so on, to the present day are reflected. The status, structure, and functions of the Bulgarian News Agency today, with the relevant normative and sub-normative acts on the basis of which it carries out its activities, are also noted. With regard to the organization of work with the archives in BTA, a general characteristic of the individual archival arrays, types of archives, their content and features is made. For the first time in the history of BTA, a specialized structure, the Archives and Reference Directorate, was established, which covers the activities of storage, preservation, reporting and registration, access, use and digitization of archival documents from all arrays in the Agency. In order to preserve, access, use and promote archival documents, BTA has joined the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for the implementation of the investment Digitization of Museum Collections, Libraries and Archives, providing for a phased digitization of the various archival arrays with a deadline up to 2026.
