兩大企業歷史檔案部初探──以香港滙豐銀行與太古集團為例

Introduction of Two Corporate Archives: the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and the Swire Group

滙豐銀行、太古集團兩大國際企業紮根香港百餘年，保留著長久以來的企業文化傳統、倫理和精神，且不約而同成立歷史檔案部門，從事資料的蒐集、整理、保存、展示、研究和教育，以提升民眾的檔案素養及認知觀念。兩者間有許多類似之處，譬如：創辦人都是英國人，早年來到東方貿易，看上香港是一自由港、交通樞紐，立足於此可放眼全球。企業在經濟快速發展之餘，希望社會大眾逐漸重視企業檔案，因其中承載了重要的機構記憶和社會記憶，成為探尋該企業整體發展歷程及在地香港生活、社會變遷的見證。本文介紹這兩大集團創辦的歷史沿革，成立歷史檔案部的目的與功能，並探析其檔案典藏、管理、應用及展覽的概況，做為國內企業單位展現企業文化精髓的參考。

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited & Swire Group are two major international groups which have been rooted in Hong Kong for over 100 years, retaining a long tradition of corporate culture, ethics and spirit. These two companies have attached great importance to archives and established historical archives management departments to engage in acquisition, arrangement, preservation, display, research and education in order to improve the archives literacy and conception of people. The two groups have many similarities with each other, for example, the founders are both British. When they came to the east for trading, they appreciated Hong Kong, a free economic zone and transportation hub, as global base. In addition to the rapid economic development, these enterprises hope that the public will pay attention to their archives, which carry important institutional and social memories and become evidence on local life in Hong Kong, social changes and the overall development of the company. This article introduces the history of the two major groups, the purpose and function of the historical archives departments, and analyzes their collection, management, application and exhibition, as a reference for our domestic enterprises to show the essence of corporate culture.
