Commercial Intermediary Institution Development Trend Research File

The early1990s, along with the archive management system reform, a new form of archive institutions----Commercial archives intermediary agencies have emerged. After nearly20years of development and growth, the development of commercial archives intermediary agencies maturing. However, compared to foreign commercial documentation center, China’s commercial development of archives institutions also have a lot of obstacles, such as laws and regulations are not perfect, non-standard institutional development; archive management system lag, the structural reform mode of unified leadership and graded management, making the administrative power is too concentrated, the separation of enterprise from public are not come true. So some intermediaries of commercial archives is no independence, attached to the archives administration departments; from the run of the internal mechanism of the commercial archives intermediary agencies, to the credit system and the agency’s confidential security system are incomplete, especially non-standard private archives intermediary agencies, who don’t have no strict secrecy, might easily leak the important archive information. In addition, personnel development, service means, and other factors also restrict the pace of development of the commercial archives intermediary agencies.In order to dealing with the obstacles, there are two major measures for the development of commercial archives intermediary agencies to explore.
