He also said that there are currently 256 agencies and units in the province that are sources of submitting archival documents to the Center. In the coming time, the Center will continue to promote the collection, preservation and promotion of the value of archival documents, while enhancing the application of technology to better serve the needs of research, study and administrative management.

Overview of the seminar.
After the seminar, teachers and students of the Faculty of Archival Science and Office Administration visited the archives of the Hoa Binh Provincial Historical Archives Center, listened to the methods of document preservation and the process of exploiting and using archival documents at the Center.
Students not only get to observe the systematic archival process with their own eyes, but also listen to authentic professional stories – where each page of archived documents is not simply a piece of paper but also a memory, a history that needs to be preserved with both knowledge and passion. From the challenges of preserving long-standing documents under strict conditions, to the journey of digitization to “revive” the value of documents in the technology era, every sharing gives students a sharper view of the career they are pursuing.
