Generally speaking, the public are not very familiar with the concept of archives, and as a result, very often they have no idea about how to make use of the large number of archives compiled and collected in archives organizations, private or public. In view of the general unfamiliarity with the knowledge of archives, it is important to promote the awareness of archives and cultivate the archives literacy of the public. This paper mainly analyzes the activities of “archives week/month” and “archives awareness month” held in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom and how these activities may contribute to promoting the archives literacy of the public. Current situations in relation to the awareness of archives in Taiwan will also be discussed in the paper, with seven approaches suggested for cultivating the archives literacy of the public at home. |
