Since its birth after the foundation of the People's Republic of China,archival science with Chinese characteristics has experienced exploration period,development period and innovation period.In this process,the discipline system,academic system and discourse system of archival science with Chinese characteristics have been formed.In the new era,it is necessary to clarify the subject core and theoretical connotation of archival science to maintain its independence,enhance its discourse power and promote its sustainable development.Based on the historical evolution and research content of archival science,this paper summarizes four basic categories and its sixteen core propositions,and explains the internal logical relationship between the categories.First,among the four categories,the nature and formation law of archives are the logical starting point of the discipline.Clarifying the essential attributes and formation law of archives is the basis for carrying out theoretical research and archives practice,and it is also the premise to maintain disciplinary uniqueness.The core propositions include the definition of archives,the law of natural formation of archives,the unique form of archives value,and the regularity of the realization of archives value.Second,the design and theoretical application of the core links of archives management are the basis of the discipline.Archives management has gone through entity management,information management and knowledge management stages.In the three stages,archives management links have been continuously improved,and their theoretical application has been continuously expanded.The core propositions include the division of the core links of archives management,the roles and requirements of archives filing,classification and organization,appraisal,and utilization.Third,the research of archives undertaking and its social service are the basis of the discipline's survival.Since 1950s,archives management system in China has undergone four major changes.In the process of reform and development,distinctive characteristics of archives undertaking have been formed.The core propositions include the goal of archives undertaking according to rule of laws,specific performance and experience of archives management system,the foothold of archives social services,and important parts of archives undertaking.Fourth,the theory and method of archival science are the source of the discipline's vitality.Since its inception,archival science with Chinese characteristics has emphasized independence,sinicization and autonomy in the disciplinary development.Chinese archival community has absorbed,developed and improved western archival theory,and gradually formed the core theory and method with Chinese characteristics.The core propositions include the research objects and disciplinary features,the innovation of existing theories and original theories,and research methodology.To sum up the basic categories and core propositions of archival science with Chinese characteristics is helpful to renew and extend the connotation of the subject and make archival science stand in the forest of the subject with a new look.1 fig.42 refs.
