Abstract

Two recent surveys by the State Archives Administration of China (SAAC) have demonstrated the extent to which electronic records account for a majority of records in central government agencies and other organisations. However China faces serious challenges in the management and preservation of electronic records. While a comprehensive legal and regulatory environment for information management and security is enabling the country to build a well-functioning modern information society, an overall national strategy for electronic records management is still lacking. The SAAC is taking a leading role in the development of national standards and regulations and it is expected that a national electronic records centre will be established.
