档案“有偿服务论”是在一定历史条件下提出来的,其出发点虽好,但实践上却没有获得成功。其失误在于:一是对价值规律缺乏正确认识:(1)档案的经济使用价值并不来源于档案工作者的劳动耗费。档案部门或其工作人员的服务收费,取得的不光是自身劳动的价值补偿,而且同时还占有了档案形成者创造的价值;(2)档案价值与利用档案后产生的现实经济效果并非都成正比;(3)档案的经济使用价值是无法量化的。因此,商品价值规律并不能成为档案“有偿服务论”的基石。如果不顾现实,强行实行有偿服务,价值规律也只能是扭曲的。二是对有偿服务的经济前景心中无数。档案服务的主要对象是国家机关和企业事业单位,如若收费,也只是国家向国家财 Archives “paid service theory” is put forward under certain historical conditions, its starting point is good, but in practice it has not been successful. The mistake is: First, the lack of a correct understanding of the law of value: (1) the economic value of the file does not come from the labor costs of archivists. The service charge of the archives department or its staff members not only compensates for the value of their own labor, but also possesses the value created by the archivists. (2) The actual economic effects produced by archives and archives are not always proportional ; (3) the economic value of the file is not quantifiable. Therefore, the law of commodity value can not become the cornerstone of the “paid service theory” of the file. If we disregard the reality and force the implementation of paid services, the law of value can only be distorted. Second, there are countless economic prospects for paid services. The main object of the file service is the state organs and enterprises and institutions, if charges, but also the state to the state money
