The first one is the comparative method of the study programs and profiles of the graduate students at the University of Ljubljana in correlation to the types of archival material which those specialists produced. Another method used in the paper is the method of studying different sources like websites, literature etc. including the experiential method. Results: This paper presents the results of this research, which will place all three sciences in clear starting points related to archival science, archivistics and archival theory and practice. Conclusion: The fact is that archival science is gaining ground as an independ-ent, academic, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary science; therefore, we must place it within clear starting points, which are typical for both social and natural sciencesTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaMednarodni inštitut arhivskih znanosti Trst-Maribor
