Archives Management Case Study

1.0 ABSTRACT
This term paper is exploring about the effectiveness of archives management in archival institutions.Based on what have I exploring about this term paper , most of the archival institutions have to face the challenges and various barriers in make the effectiveness of archive management to archival institutions. Plus, nowaday more archives be seeking by people for own their reason. Usually archives be as the house of the records to ensuring the records still be active and be preserved for futue used and new generation still can used it for make the reserach or in studying. Sometimes, in case study archives can hold more function and can be more efficiency in manage the data or records that was given from thier clients. In ensuring

An archive also can be as a collection of data moved to a repository for backup, to keep separate for compliance reason or for moving off primary storage media. It an include a simple list of files or files organized under a directory or catalog structure(depending on how a particular program supports archiving). Thus, archives apart from being a physical housing units, they are also those special records of enduring value that are deemed fit for permanent preservation. This is for the purposes of research, referencing and for their enduring value .At the same time, based on what I have learn archival also have different meaning by different archivist. There are four archivist that defined the world of archive in different means.For instant, the Adolf Brenneke from German defines the archives as the whole of the papers and documents growing out of legal or business activities of a physical or legal body which are intended for permanent preservation of particular place os a sources and the evidence of the past while the archivist from British which is Sir Hilary Jenkinson defined the archives as documents drawn up or used in the course of an administrative or executive transaction whether it in public or private of which formed a part and subsequently preserve in their own information by the person or persond responsible for that

In the last few decades, the conjecture of technology and information has given birth to new types of documents that are solely in electronic form. Avra Michelson and Jeff Rothenberg have used the term “information technology” to describe the “computing and communications technology used to obtain, store, organize, manipulate, and exchange information. At an earlier time this information would have been recorded on one of the many other physical, paper-based, formats familiar to archives. But given the great flexibility of information technology, creators are steadily moving to an electronic environment. Technology is also transforming the way in which research is conducted. During the 1960s and 1970s, researchers limited their “computing” work to the preparation of indexes and similar retrieval tools, the conversion of textual material to machine-readable form, as well as the writing and editing of text “end-user computing” was transformed radically with the introduction of personal computers and the greater accessibility to easily manipulated software packages. At the same time, now researchers are now able to devise their own search strategies, manipulate information in new ways, and study issues which previously would have been diffilcult to address due to the quantity and structure of the data. They expect off-site access to a variety of sources which they can manipulate, share, and discuss with
