The Study of Chinese Archives Administration System

Abstract

  China’s archives has changed significantly since the publication of the Archives Law in 1987. Some researchers abroad said that archives in China might contain very sensitive information. Therefore, they think the role of archives is not only for document management, but also a national institution which handles personal information from the power side. Thus, I would like to clarify such problems in this research, such as what kind of organization the Chinese archives actually are, and how the Chinese archive administration system is established.
