Download the English version here.Private archives are documents owned by individuals, families, clans, villages, associations, non-governmental organizations, and private enterprises (collectively referred to as non-state-owned documents). Besides their value to each individual and organization, many of these documents also hold special significance and value for the community, the nation, and humanity. In practice, alongside state-run archives, most countries have archives maintained by private organizations, associations, villages, and families (collectively referred to as private archives). Thanks to this, many valuable documents have been well preserved. However, for various reasons, this activity has not received sufficient attention in some countries, resulting in many limitations. Therefore, the issue is that research and surveys are needed to clarify the role, current status, and propose policies and measures for non-state archival activities, contributing to the preservation and promotion of the value of people's archival documents. Based on this understanding, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (Vietnam), is organizing an international scientific conference with the theme: “ORGANIZATION AND PROMOTION OF THE VALUE OF PEOPLE'S ARCHIVE DOCUMENTS”.
1. Purpose of the Workshop- Sharing experiences among countries and proposing useful solutions for organizing and promoting the value of people's archives in Vietnam and other countries; - Raising social awareness and promoting the value of people's archives in various fields of social life; - Expanding cooperative relations between universities and research institutions on archival studies in the region and around the world.
2. Content of the WorkshopThe workshop focused on researching and discussing the following scientific issues: - The types of documents generated during the activities of individuals, families, clans, villages, associations, non-governmental organizations, and private enterprises (collectively referred to as non-state-owned documents) that are currently selected and preserved by their owners, and their future development trends. - The value of people's archives to the owners themselves and their value to the community, society, nation, and humanity; the risks of damage and loss to people's archives. - The awareness of the people and society, as well as the situation of selecting, preserving, and using documents in people's archives in other countries and Vietnam; - The experiences of countries in formulating policies and applying specific measures to protect and promote the value of people's archives.
