档案作为人类社会中各级各类组织和有关人物在各种实践活动中形成的原始记录,是人类文明进步的重要载体,具有特殊的价值。研究并开发档案价值,使其在新的社会实践活动中发挥应有的作用,这是社会赋予广大档案工作者义不容辞的职责。近年来,档案界的有识之士对此研究表现出了异常的热情,并取得了初步的成果。但离档案价值研究的最终目的尚存很大的距离。故笔者在此也想发一孔之见,以尽绵薄之力。 Archives, as the original record formed by various kinds of organizations and related persons at various levels in human society in various practical activities, is an important carrier of the progress of human civilization and has special value. Studying and developing the value of archives so that they can play their due role in new social practices is an unshirkable responsibility entrusted by the community to archivists. In recent years, people of insight in the field of archives have shown unusual enthusiasm for this research and have achieved initial results. However, there is still a long way to go from the ultimate goal of the study of the value of the archives. Therefore, I also want to send a hole in this opinion, to make modest power.
