Study On The Protection Strategy Of Endangered Archives Documentary Inheritances

This article takes the research beginning by the concept of archives documentary inheritances, and constructs the archives documentary inheritances cascade protection model based on the correlation theories and practices of the endangered archives inheritances. Then I have studied the related content of archives documentary inheritances protection, including nationwide investigation, salvage conservation and preventive conservation.This paper has 8 chapters.Chapter 1 IntroductionChapter 1 includes the background of study, current situation of study, meaning of the subject, framework of paper, studying method, innovation, and restriction or extension of study.As one of the ancient nations, China has the massive archives documentary inheritances. However, the resources which could use in the archives inheritance protection are very limited now. So the contradiction between the massive archives inheritances and the limited protection resources becomes in the subject matter of the archives inheritances protection. The best means to alleviate this contradiction is to find the archives documentary inheritances which are most urgently needed protection, and provides the individuation protective measures. The endangered archives documentary inheritances mean the archives in imminent vanishing or thorough damage, which have the most urgent demand to be protected. Therefore, the study of the endangered archives documentary inheritances protection strategy is very meaningful in the theory and practice.At present, although the domestic and foreign scholars have researched some related studies, there are still two main issues. First, the domestic related domain lacks to the systematic study of the endangered archives documentary inheritances. Second, the domestic and foreign research concentrates in the preservation technology, neglecting the management research of protection slightly. Consequently, the protection strategy study of the endangered archives documentary inheritances including the preservation technology and the preservation management, is still waited for further studies.Chapter 2 the Definition and Division of the Endangered Archives Documentary InheritancesThe archives documentary inheritances are the important component of Chinese history cultural heritage so that should be protected as better as possible.The endangered condition means the greatly possibly thorough damage and vanishing. On the other side, the endangered condition means the degree to thorough damage and vanishing. In semeiology, the archives documentary inheritances include carrier materials and information. So the endangered condition of the archives documentary inheritances includes the endangered carrier materials and the endangered information. In summary, the endangered archives documentary inheritance is the one, the carrier materials of which damage seriously, or the information of which are very scarce. Obviously, the archives documentary inheritances in each endangered condition are in imminent vanishing, and need to protect immediately.If the endangered archives documentary inheritances could be divided from the massive archives documentary inheritances, the archives will determine the privileged operation object of all kinds of protection resources. Similarly, the division also has two aspects. First, the division of the endangered carrier materials. Through quantifications of 10 targets, I proposed the division basis which the carrier materials are in imminent danger in investigation and study foundation. Second, the division of the endangered information. Reference the related division basis of relic and ancient book, I proposed the division principle and the division basis initially.Chapter 3 the Present Protection Situation of the Endangered Archives Documentary Inheritances in ChinaThe present situation summary of the endangered archives documentary inheritances is the premise and foundation of the pointed protection strategy. Through questionnaire survey and on-the-spot investigation, the author have collected the massive primary data and the research source material, which is very important to the present situation summary.The quantity of archives documentary inheritances is huge in our country. And most of them are republican archives and Qing Dynasty archives. In the archives documentary inheritances preservation in archives, extremely few of them form before Ming and Qing Dynasties. The investigation showed that the most commonly carrier materials of archives documentary inheritances are the hand made paper and ink in Qing Dynasty, and all kinds of carrier materials have the varying degree use in Republic of China time. Moreover, various kinds of damage have been discovered. And what is most common includes turns yellow of paper, the embrittlement of paper, deformities of paper, blotch of paper, mildew, moth-eaten, fading and diffusing of seals. Many archives documentary inheritances damage seriously enough to endangered condition.At present, the situation of archives documentary inheritances protection is unoptimistic. And the main problems include lack the investigation and the long-term protection strategy, not system law and standard, funds investment insufficiency, lack the pointed protection and so on.Chapter 4 the Origin Analysis of the Endangered Archives Documentary InheritanceThe present endangered situation is not created by single factor, but is the combined action result by numerous reasons. The internal cause of the carrier material durability is the determining factor. And the external factors including environmental factor, time factor, social factor and management factor, accelerate or slows down the damage advancement being in imminent danger.Paper's fiber structure and the process of manufacture decide the durability of carrier materials. And the pigment ingredients and adheres forms decide the durability of handwriting material's.The environmental factor and the time factor are the natural external factors to cause archives documentary inheritances in imminent danger. The preserved environment decided that the damaged condition and endangered situation. The social factor and the management factor are the artificial external factors of endangered archives documentary inheritances. Many time, the archives documentary inheritances'damage is not as a result of the natural cause, but the human factor including the society ignores, the historical vicissitude, the protection insufficiency, the management negligence and so on.Chapter 5 the Cascade Protection Model of Archives Documentary InheritancesThe cascade protection is the foundation of the individuation protection strategy, which could enhance the use factor of the limited protection resources, and alleviate the principal protection contradiction. The cascade protection model this article described has contained the entire process of the archives documentary inheritances protection, which provides the reliable theory basis for the protection strategy of endangered archives documentary inheritances.This model includes four modules which are the nationwide investigation module, the rank division module, the salvage conservation module and the preventive conservation module.The nationwide investigation module provides the primary data and the source material for the study of the rank division and the individuation protection, which is the foundation of other various modules. The rank division module is the core of the entire model , which manifests the cascade protection idea. The salvage conservation module and the preventive conservation module is the aim to construct the cascade protection model, which is the implementation of the protection strategy. What the salvage protection in view of is the endangered carrier materials of archives documentary inheritances. And the salvage protection views the endangered information of archives documentary inheritances. What more important is that they are the dynamic balance.Chapter 6 the Nationwide Investigation of Archives Documentary InheritancesThe domestic and foreign related experience demonstrated that the nationwide investigation is the foundation of all cultural heritage protection. The nationwide investigation of archives documentary inheritances mainly includes two aspects. First, the investigation of archives documentary inheritances'damaged condition and information situation. The individual investigation in view of damage condition and information situation provides the data for the division of the endangered condition for archives documentary inheritances.Second, the investigation of protection situation and measures of archives. The investigation of protection situation and measures of archives provides the reference for the origin analysis and the protection of endangered archives documentary inheritances.This article has utilized the statistics principle and the social investigation method for each kinds of investigation of archives to design the method and the flow.Chapter 7 the Salvage Conservation of Endangered Archives Documentary InheritancesThe objects of salvage protection are the seriously damaged archives documentary inheritances, which need to protect urgently. The salvage protection divides into the salvage protection technology and the salvage protection management.The project management of salvage protection means the flow management including every link according to the project management's thought. And the project management of salvage protection this article elaborated has 7 different sects, which respectively is making the salvage plan, creation the message platform, establishment the salvage file, consummating the salvage standard, standard the work flow of salvage, establishment the salvage appraisal mechanism, consummating the education training and the qualifications authentication system.The salvage protection technology means implementation individuation protection operation according to the endangered condition of archives documentary inheritances, which includes curative conservation, restoration and digitization.Chapter 8 the Preventive Conservation of Endangered Archives Documentary InheritancesThe preventive conservation means putting the endangered archives documentary inheritances in a good preserved environment, so as to reduce the possibility of damage and extent the preservation life of archives documentary inheritances.The preserved environment is the important effect factor causing archives documentary inheritances in imminent danger and vanishing. So we should put the archives documentary inheritances in the reasonable and stable preserved environment through integrated surrounding control, which includes the humiture control, the illumination control, the air quality control and the biology contamination control.The protection management of preventive conservation includes the macro-management and the micro-management. Standing in the national altitude, the macro-management of protection management means the corresponding law, policy and standard. And the executor of micro-management is archives. The archives will serve the purpose of preventive conservation through the special management.The preventive protection's social aspect refers to raising the protection consciousness, increasing investment, enhancement the specialized training, and advancement the protection research.
