Features: Memory is essential for humans. Archives are the authentic records of various practical activities in human society and important historical and cultural heritage. This series, the latest research achievements of experts and scholars in the field of archival studies in China, opens the door to memory from new perspectives and multiple viewpoints, revealing little-known stories in the field of archives—making it highly readable as an archival reference material. Written in response to the current enthusiasm for archival informatization, this book is a product of rational reflection on it. Reality has warned that while humans enjoy the conveniences brought by informatization, they also constantly swallow its bitter fruits and pay a high price for it. Using numerous examples of archival informatization construction, this book, through calm contemplation, thoroughly analyzes the hidden worries, misconceptions, and risks in archival informatization development from ten aspects—such as information resources, standards and specifications, application systems, and network security—and prompts deep reflection on informatization construction.
