Meeting of the Baltic Archivists “Archives – modern, smart, open”
, Palanga, Lithuania

2. Basic information

LNA ir izvietots 22 ēkās 21 no tām valstij VNĪ personā. Archives have the management contracts1 ēka pilnība būvēta kā arhīvs, Slokas iela – daļēji. Pārējās pielāgotas

3. Bezdelīga – būvēts kā padomju tipveida arhīvs
Skandu – rūpnīca Elmīra. Vairāk kā m2 platība. Apgūti 11000m2, no tiem 7000m2 glabātavas Jāiegulda jaunas infrastruktūras – apkures un ventilācijas sistēmas, elektropiegādes sistēmas,,

4. Problems: A lot of infrastructure facilities
Most of the buildings are not suitable for archives
Archive building is physically worn, morally outdated
Archive building has low energy efficiency
Average storage loading rate is 90%
Several historical buildings are located on private land
None of the archive building is provided with full accessibility for persons with disabilities
Tomēr būtisks traucēklis ZVA iniciatīvām šajā jomā ir to infrastruktūras stāvoklis. Arhīvu telpas ir nolietotas, nepievilcīgas, trūkst mūsdienīgu telpu arhīva izglītības pasākumu un izstāžu organizēšanai, kā arī moderna izstāžu un prezentāciju aprīkojuma. Nepieciešamas investīcijas arhīvu infrastruktūras sakārtošanā, izstāžu/mācību telpu iekārtošanā, aprīkojuma modernizācijā
2016.g. Jāpieņem gv kārtējā pieņemšanā ( Rīgā, reģionos) + vēl ko iestādes glabā ilgāk nekā 15 gadus.

5. LNA infrastructure maintenance
Priorities:
Roofs, windows, water and heating systems
Fire and electrical safety
Emergency situations
The security risks
Budget: ~ EUR per year
Katru gadu infrastruktūras uzturēšanā – remontos, avārijas situāciju novēŗšanā, attštībā tiek ieguldīti aptuveni EUR.
Tomēr šie ieguldījumi nenodrošina kvalitatīvu uzlabojumus un virzību uz attīsītbu
