大企业档案工作者的主要任务是整理下属企业有历史价值的档案。有些大公司,子公司的历史可能比母公司长几十年,子公司的经营活动和档案材料也许是在远离公司总部的一个什么地方。从便于保存及研究的角度考虑,将各子公司的档案集中起来是合理的。但这样做常常会使企业的档案工作者受到这样一种指责:搬掉了地方工业的最后一点历史踪迹,而这些地方工业的发展与当地几代居民的生活密切相关。 The main task of large corporate archivists is to organize the files of subordinate enterprises with historical value. Some big companies and subsidiaries may have decades of history than the parent company, and the subsidiary’s business activities and archival materials may be somewhere far from the corporate headquarters. From the point of view of ease of storage and research, it is reasonable to centralize the files of each subsidiary. But doing so often leads corporate archivists to the blame for removing the last traces of the local industry, whose development is closely linked to the lives of several generations of local residents.
