Research On The Basic Principles Of Archives Work Under Digital Background

In the new times, the external environment of archives work presents two remarkable characteristics: First, ITs such as digital technology and network technology develop at full speed, so the technical environment of archives work has changed; Secondly, the national Information Construction develops quickly and the government affairs information comes out into the open, so the social environment of archives work has also changed. Simultaneously the internal environment of archives work presents the new characteristics with the external environment. Regarding this, the colleagues of archival world have produced their own understanding and the elaboration from different angles. They discussed the influence of the digital background on each aspect of archives work. However, their research still has insufficiencies: First, the research mostly concentrates in the specific concrete service level, but very little rises to the theoretical level; Secondly, under the digital background, the basic principles of archives work have got their new meaning, but the research lacks of comprehensive and profound excavation but only carries on the elaboration from general significance.For this purpose, this paper uses many research techniques such as the method of literature analysis, social investigation, sociological analysis, contrast analysis, comparative analysis and so on. The paper tries to conduct more comprehensive and thorougher research and thinking on archives work and its basic principles under the digital background. This paper firstly analyzes and extracts the research of domestic and foreign scholars about"the development of electronic files and electronic archives","archives work under digital background". And then collects many fresh sources through social investigation. Secondly, on the basis of combing the relative concepts and thorough analysis, the paper redefines and rediscovers the basic principals of archives work. Finally, the paper emphasizes the change of basic principles under the digital background and draws the new conclusion through contrast analysis by putting the three aspects of the principles into traditional background and digital background separately.This article emphatically carries on the research on archives work and its basic principles from following several aspects: First, discusses the digital background including the changes of the external environment and the internal environment of archives work. Next , discusses how the digital background changes archives work and further discusses each constituent of archives work's basic principles. Then the paper divides the basic principles of archives work into"the principle of centrality and uniform", "the principle of integrity and security","the principle of advantageous for using", and separately discusses their new meanings, new changes and new characteristics. Finally, the paper redescribes the three aspects of archives work's basic principles on the basis of rediscovery, and points out developmental direction of archives work in the future.
