Abstract

The digital revolution continuously changes structure of the social memory. Although the large quantities of information has been reprinted and circulated by the mass communication technology in these five centuries, the digital technology began to transform the knowledge production from ‘production/circulation/consumption’ to ‘accumulation/search/reuse’ in the 21st century. In this new dimension of knowledge recycling, the ‘past’ comes to be never disappeared. It becomes the accumulated resource through which the “creative recycling” of the new cultural values emerge. The old documentary films become the effective “resources” of new education, and the digital data of old scripts become the base creating the new drama. In this new knowledge recycling system, there are three conditions need to be developed. At first we need to make the list of property of the past cultural resources in various forms widespread in this society. Secondly, we need to push forward the standardization of meta-data system of the archives by the common format. In this process of standardization, the open access and the horizontal integration of archival data are also essential. Thirdly, it becomes necessary to make the ‘digital archivist’ as the specialist for new cultural system. We need not only develop the educational curriculum in universities, but also establish the profession with the stable institutional status in the society. In the archive of the digital age, the objects for the preservation are never limited to the official documents of the administration. For example, the images photographed by local people and information of mass media need to be included together in the archives for future generation. The whole those information is tied across a border in the globalized world.
