Conclusions. By «network communication» we mean a hub of data translators through Internet channels, which are characterized by high capabilities of information fl ows and the ability to accumulate huge amounts of information and its intensive exchange for the widest audience of users united by the communication platform. The main functions of network communication are information and communication. Its specifi city is the ability of the recipient to be at the same time a communicator. An important role in network communication belongs to the manager of social networks and the result is determined by the correct targeting of the audience, successful contact with users and the content that should be useful and interesting for them. Advertising, public relations, branding, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and other marketing technologies can become a priority for archival institutions in the areas of communication mediated by social networks. We do not consider the issue of the presence of archival institutions in social networks to be the main one, but today it is relevant and needs attention.
