我国是一个文明古国。璀璨的祖国文化,给我们留下了很多珍贵的档案。这些档案,各以其特有的历史印痕而见“高龄”。全国各级各类档案管理部门,都有不同程度、不同数量的“高龄”档案。而且随着时序的推移, “高龄”档案的“龄”将愈来愈高,量会愈来愈多。因此,档案“高龄”问题不能不说是档案界一个值得高度重视的问题。档案是历史的真迹。它本身的特点和性质,决定着“档龄”愈高往往价值愈大。唯其如此,讨论档案“高龄”问题更显得重要。早在1901年,德国档案学家迈斯奈尔就提出了档案“高龄应当受到尊重”的问题,并在世界档案史上曾一度产生影响。我们 Our country is an ancient civilized country.
