Whether the traditional carrier archives need to be digitized is based on the consideration of utilization demand and carrier protection, right?

Under the premise of considering the demand for utilization and carrier protection, it is correct whether the traditional carrier archives need to be digitized.

The traditional carrier of archival information is usually stored in archives in the form of paper documents, which is very time-consuming and cumbersome to find and retrieve, and the storage space of archives is large and inconvenient to maintain. Backing up files requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and manual processing is even more unreliable. Therefore, the transformation from traditional archives management to digital management is a trend, which meets the requirements of the Internet trend and the development of the times.

Archives digitization is a new type of archives information management mode, which transforms archives resources of various carriers into digital archives information, stores them in digital form, connects them in network form, and forms an orderly archives information base through computer system management, providing them in time and realizing resource sharing.

The function of archives digitalization:

1 is used to replace the original, which effectively prolongs the preservation time of the original.

2. Digital copies are kept in parts. For important files that need to be preserved for a long time or permanently, multiple digital copies should be made through data backup and saved in parts.

3. Restore the blurred and faded handwriting of archival materials. Files with blurred or faded handwriting can be recovered by computer scanning and other processing techniques.

4. Improve office efficiency. Digital file management enables data to be filed in time and provided for use as soon as possible, thus improving office efficiency.

5. Improve economic benefits. The digital management of archives makes the traditional paper-based archives information object become a machine-readable file, which not only saves the storage cost, but also saves the occupied space, which is convenient and fast to consult and avoids the waste of paper and personnel caused by repeated printing of materials.
