The future of local administrative documents in the knowledge recycling society

Abstract

As societal digitalization advances, a fundamental and inclusive approach is required for the preservation and effective utilization of local administrative documents. However, the adaptation of administrative documents and similar materials to digital formats has experienced significant delays. One of the benefits of digitalization is the broad accessibility and extreme ease of access that comes with the digitization of vast historical resources. Shifting from a society that has consumed knowledge primarily through paper-based media, there is an expectation for a shift towards a knowledge recycling society, where the utilization of past documents is even more feasible than before.
