Archives offer inexhaustible sources of knowledge that are sometimes neglected, while schools are often ignorant of all the educational possibilities of archives. This thesis presents the educational activities that are carried out in schools and archives with the purpose of showing the full potential of possible cooperation between the two institutions. Based on this symbiotic relationship, potentials for further cooperation are being explored. In the first chapter, presence of schools and educational institutions in archives as creators of archival material is investigated. Numerous school documents serve as valuable materials on the history of schooling and education, as well as local and national history. In the second chapter, the educational activities carried out in these two institutions are analyzed, showing cooperation and work on archival materials. All activities contain examples of completed projects so that they can serve as inspiration for new similar ventures. Students' awareness of the archive's educational possibilities and interest in new services were also investigated. The research showed great interest in the educational activities of the archive and showed the potential for the success of some activities that achieved the best results in the research. The guidelines for achieving better cooperation between schools and archives are proposed based on the research results. The most important precondition for the successful realization of all activities is good inter-institutional cooperation.
