國家發展委員會檔案管理局管有地契檔案保存維護之研究

A Case Study of the Practice of Archives Preservation: Land Deeds from Tainan Prison, Taiwan

國家發展委員會檔案管理局（以下簡稱檔案局）依法負有國家檔案徵集、保管、維護、應用之責，現國家檔案總典藏量已超過17公里，累積檔案長度相當於35座的臺北101大樓。檔案局於民國100年自臺灣臺南監獄移轉地契檔案一批，總計361件，產生年代距今已逾兩百多年，是目前檔案局管有年代最久遠的國家檔案；該批地契檔案內容豐富多元，性質又有別於一般公文書，彌足珍貴，極富歷史意義與研究價值。檔案局自接管後即陸續展開檔案清潔整理、編排描述、修護、數位化等各項管理作業，現已全數典藏於恆溫恆溼環境之國家檔案庫房，開放提供各界申請應用。以下謹就該批檔案之原管有機關沿革背景、地契之種類性質、檔案整理過程與保存維護作為等作一概述與探討。
