Discussion on Equipment Virtual Archives of Art Colleges

Abstract

This paper starts from development status of equipment archive management of art colleges and reason analysis and takes theoretical knowledge of equipment virtual archive management as basis to discuss the feasibility and necessity of establishing equipment virtual archive of art colleges, and then proposes the specific scheme for construction of equipment virtual archive of art colleges and the problems we shall pay attention to for the purpose of realizing scientific archive management through electronic computer network technology, thus exerting the due value of equipment archive in scientific research, teaching, and technical service of art colleges to maximum degree. Overview of virtual archive The virtual archive will be the senior form of archive development. The virtual archive can be called an orderly information system or an orderly information space rather than an entity institution. Through network technology, it adopts digital technology to store the information so as to make the archival information scattered in different areas connected together through electronic communication systems. Besides, the equipment virtual is neither equal to archive database of general meaning, nor equal to the archives of traditional significance; the archive content is not limited to video tape, optical disk, magnetic disk, paper document and other real objects, and abandons the drawback of traditional archives in which people need to make manual inquiry and only the content can be inquired, but the specific content can't be inquired for archive database. Through data collection means such as scanning, the equipment virtual archive can digitize and electronize the archives, thus we can make inquiry via database retrieval and directly obtain the content of required archives.
