Download the English version herePrivate Archives are documents owned by individuals, families, clans, villages; associations, non-governmental organizations, private enterprises (collectively referred to as documents owned by non-state entities). In addition to their value to individuals and organizations, many of these documents also have special significance and value to the community, the nation, and humanity. In fact, in addition to state archives, in most countries there are archives by private organizations, associations, villages, families, and clans (collectively referred to as people's archives). Thanks to this, many valuable documents have been well preserved. However, in addition, for various reasons, in some countries, this activity has not yet received attention, so there are many limitations. Therefore, the issue is that there is a need for research and surveys to clarify the role, current status and propose policies and measures for non-state archival activities, contributing to preserving and promoting the value of people's archives. Based on the above awareness, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (Vietnam), organized an international scientific conference with the theme: "ORGANIZING AND PROMOTING THE VALUE OF PEOPLE'S ARCHIVES"
