中华人民共和国的早期档案产生于一个充满政治雄心与意识形态宏愿的国家,而它们自产生后便由一批职业档案管理者、学者所保管,包括如通知、报告、通讯、会议记录、统计数据以及数量多到超乎寻常的自传材料。这些记录对历史学家而言显得格外有吸引力,以至于我们在阅读时会轻易忽略那些在记录形成时束缚它们的条条框框。当我们阅读这些档案时,需要意识到这些档案本身便是政权的工具,而不只是供研究者研读的信息源。因此,在我看来,第一,若要使用档案,那就需要了解资料生产组织的档案加工过程及其基本常识;第二,档案本身便是强而有力的存在对象以至于可以影响我们如何书写历史。 The early archives of the People’s Republic of China originated from a country full of ambitions of political ambition and ideology, which were kept by a group of professional file managers and scholars since birth, including such things as notices, reports, communications, minutes, statistics As well as the number of extraordinary materials of autobiography. These records are particularly appealing to historians so that when we read it we easily overlook the lines that bind them when the record is formed. As we read through these files, we need to be aware that these files are themselves instruments of power, not just sources of information for researchers to study. So, in my opinion, first, if you want to use a file, you need to understand the file processing and its basic knowledge of a data production organization. Second, the file itself is a strong and powerful object that can affect us Writing history.
