Do traditional carrier files need to be digitized?

Traditional carrier files need to be digitized.

Archival digitization is a systematic project to digitally convert, store, protect, retrieve and utilize the archived information that has been screened and originally stored on the traditional carrier by means of computer and other technical processing means.

Scientifically delimit the digitization scope of priority files, eliminate duplicate and useless files, and ensure the digitization quality and efficiency. Archives appraisal must take the lead. At the same time, the file appraisal business must also be extended to all kinds of files (including electronic files) newly put into storage, and the corresponding items should be recorded immediately if they meet the storage conditions, so as to avoid repeated work such as collecting and archiving first and then compiling and digitizing.
