The Archives Bureau is a public institution, which exercises the responsibility of archives affairs management within its jurisdiction. On-the-job personnel use the career establishment but enjoy the treatment of civil servants; Archives exist as a secondary organization of archives, and the curator is also the curator and full-time deputy curator, exercising the daily affairs management of archives. After the reform of the party and government organizations, the administrative functions of the archives bureau were placed under the editorial office, and the independent compilation of the archives bureau was no longer retained.

Therefore, most people who enter these units take the professional title route, rely on professional titles to eat, and don't care much about the administrative level. Institutions such as libraries and archives, such as universities, personally think that the next step should be to strengthen the public welfare attribute, at the same time reduce the administrative level, avoid the influence of administrative level on the employees of these institutions, and let professionals concentrate on their professional work without the interference of level and promotion. This is the proper meaning of public welfare services and academic institutions.
