其他摘要:Archives are documents made or received and accumulated by a person or organization in the course of the conduct of affairs and preserved because of their continuing value. Society of American Archivists has approved the guidelines for the graduate archival education for three times in recent 20 years in order to build a firm basement of the archival occupation. University of British Columbia in Canada started the first Master of Archival Studies (MAS) Program in North America. There are several controversies over the proper background for the archival profession and the emergence of information technology in recent years had a great influence on archivists. For the next decade, the development of MAS programs will be the final goal for the archival society in the United States.
