Object of file management
The object of file management is files and the object of service is file users. The basic contradiction to be solved is the contradiction between the scattered, chaotic, miscellaneous, large and isolated archives and the social demand for centralized, systematic, high-quality, concrete and extensive utilization of archives. The satisfaction of society's demand for archives depends on the continuous improvement of archives management level, which should adapt to the growing social demand.
They are in the process of constant contradiction from non-adaptation to adaptation, thus promoting the development of archives management. From the history of archives management for thousands of years, archives management has experienced the development from non-independent system to independent system, from simple management to complex management, from empirical management to scientific management, from manual management to computer management, and from closed system to open system.
