由鑑定觀點探討檔案銷毀工作之擬定

Appraisal for the Formulation of Destruction Affairs

檔案館蒐集、典藏具有持續性保存價值的檔案，並提供使用者資訊的需求。因此檔案人員以檔案鑑定為檔案館評估檔案的價值與決定入藏與否，並將不符合檔案館藏宗旨的檔案予以銷毀。檔案銷毀的處置方式十分多元，檔案銷毀的過程更包含了檔案鑑定與重新鑑定等跨領域的管理工作。因此，本文藉由說明檔案鑑定標準與重新鑑定程序，並了解檔案館在檔案銷毀工作上的執行方式，進而探討制定檔案銷毀政策所應考量的層面，以及檔案銷毀政策與檔案館館藏發展政策之相關性，最後參酌國外檔案典藏單位所制定之檔案銷毀政策，提供國內檔案典藏機構在檔案銷毀工作上的參考。
