From the understanding of file custodians and historians , it is necessary and natural to archive records of legal, commercial, political and social activities. Archives have been described as the "parts of an organism" and are distinguished from documents written or created with the intention of conveying a specific message.
In general, archives are selected for permanent or long-term preservation on the basis of cultural, historical or evidential value. Archives include letters, reports, accounts, meeting minutes, photographs, drafts and final manuscripts. They can serve as documentary evidence of past events and assist in the interpretation and understanding of history. An archive is generally unpublished or public, and unlike a book or magazine that has many identical copies, it often has only one copy. This means that archives and libraries are quite different in function and management.
A person whose job it is to manage files is called a file custodian. The discipline of research on the organization, preservation and acquisition of information of archives is called archival science .
