【 摘 要 】

Over recent years there has been an increased awareness on the part of state archives of the EU Member States of the needs of preserving electronic records. This has manifested itself in the significant amount of activity, especially in the formulation of regulations and recommendations concerning the treatment of electronic records in government agencies, and their transferral to the state archives. However, there still appears to be potential for greater synergy and cooperation in these matters in the various state archives of the EU Member States. The legal situation across Europe with regard to the archiving of public records generated by government agencies, and public access to such records, remains diverse. Differences exist not only in terms of the legal requirements, but also to the extent to which these are interpreted and enacted. Most of the activities on preserving electronic records and providing access to such recordshave been concentrated in the north-western States of the EU, and it is only within this region that specialised facilities within state archives for the preservation of electronic records have beenestablished. Much of the activity and developments with regard to the treatment and access of electronic records has been concentrated within state archives and central state government agencies.
