    Archives are documents made or received and accumulated by a person or organization in the course of the conduct of affairs and preserved because of their continuing value. Society of American Archivists has approved the guidelines for the graduate archival education for three times in recent 20 years in order to build a firm basement of the archival occupation. University of British Columbia in Canada started the first Master of Archival Studies （MAS） Program in North America. There are several controversies over the proper background for the archival profession and the emergence of information technology in recent years had a great influence on archivists. For the next decade, the development of MAS programs will be the final goal for the archival society in the United States.

    A new legal system which has a proper balance between protection of non-original databases and smooth flow of information is needed. In March 1996, EU adopted Directive which took Sui generis right approach, on legal protection of databases and member states are implementing the Directive into national law. US took an new misappropriation approach changing from Sui generis right approach. In Japan the discussion about legal protection of non-original databases has just started. No consensus has yet formed on the idea of protection of investment which is fundamental in EC Directive Sui generis right approach and unfair competition law approach is rather gaining in power.
