Features: Archives and archival management are a widespread and profoundly significant social phenomenon, playing a fundamental role in the survival and development of human society, as well as in the inheritance and continuity of human history and culture. Because humans are interconnected not only in space, forming society, but also in time, succeeding one another and continuously extending, they constitute an inseparable unity of space and time. This book provides a relatively comprehensive introduction and discussion of the fundamental theories of archival science. The content covers the main theoretical categories of "archives," "archival affairs," and "archival science," with the characteristics of balancing theoretical depth and knowledge, aiming to provide systematic knowledge, perspectives, arguments, and materials for undergraduates, graduates, archival professionals, and researchers. The book has a concise structure and logical organization, reflecting the latest research findings in this field both domestically and internationally. It is intended to serve as a textbook for self-study examinations in archival science.
