September 21, 1999, China's Taiwan province 7.6 strong earthquake. A few days later, the large and small, and many aftershocks occurred in 2000, ended on the 28th morning, the death toll of the earthquake in 2105, and 6987 housing full-back,半倒5879 ... ...
It is reported that the Taiwan authorities in the arrest of David shortly after the beginning of the first batch of construction contractors, housing state of一震earthquake, came the collapse of the investigation, more than 1000 designers and engineers have been summoned, "the Administration" fully investigated large building collapsed during the earthquake because of shoddy work and inferior materials or design is improper.
I think that, in this case, the urban construction archives will be placed in a very important position, but if in the whole house down, there is an urban construction archives storage building (if there are urban construction archives in Taiwan, then), then This comprehensive and authoritative survey on the well imagine to what extent. We know that the city dedicated archives (E), aimed at the city's urban construction archives of the integrated management, in peacetime to provide targeted community use, and the event of large-scale natural disasters or war, etc., then relevant government departments for the provision of decision-making use of data. Although the vast majority of urban construction archives not only in the archives (room), but is stored in the form of scattered construction unit or its superior organ, not to facilitate large-scale verification, not to mention a number of comprehensive archival material such as the Urban Underground network data is only "Only Existing Copy" in the Archives storage (room).
Further assumptions, the Public Records Office (room) had the honor in each of the construction of all survivors of natural disasters, but the archives (room) of their own security should arouse our attention, the majority of archivists may not forget that in 1998 12 months, a major fire occurred in the archives, the files of all three Shelves burnt more than 2000 volumes of history files and more than 2000 files of all the recent volumes become ashes, the bitter lesson not to do it?
After all the core files on the file is to provide the protection and use, how to take preventive measures, which we file workers should seriously consider.
Development of science and technology has greatly facilitated the copying files, I think that can be carried out, such as file backup and remote storage, it will be an effective means of file protection.
Second, back-up method
File a copy of the past, such as make a blueprint, microfiche and so there is more complicated procedures, high cost of back-up material, a long time, this may be sufficient back-up has not been a major cause of great importance. Therefore, when providing access to archival material, which is "Only Existing Copy" the baby had to be original on the "cruel" to get into the show.
Scientific development, in particular the popularity of computer tools, making the file a copy of the work much more convenient than before. At present, many archives (E) has been the use of computer file management, and optical disk storage technology is not difficult to use, general-purpose CD-R or the storage capacity can be satisfactory. 600M a storage capacity of CD-ROM can be 1:1 to 2 to restore the use of about 110 drawings, index of about 750 drawings, and so a high-quality CD-ROM is currently available in the market retail price of only 20 yuan, so low the cost of the backup file should be acceptable. Therefore, I believe that the optical disk storage system should be the best backup methods, such as files in computer management to participate in day-to-day work, the concept of integration of ex situ storage, the number of high conservation value, the preservation of archival material a long time the graphs, charts, text materials, such as scanning and data stored on CD-ROM, a long-term, back-up files will no longer be a problem.
CD-ROM to facilitate the preservation of its conditions are not harsh on the environment, and to data storage backup files, as well as to protect the original file, to reduce or remove the use of the original.
Third, the ex situ preservation of backup options and the elements
Ex situ preservation of backup options is very important, China has a vast territory, has provided us with an ideal place to back up in different places. I believe that the corresponding remote backup should be selected cities in different geographical features, inter-city distance to the city, in this way can we ensure the safety of archival material. Of course, this requires the expert combination of factors based on the city to carry out the necessary assessment.
As a result of the use of machine-readable form for backup files as soon as the need to use the backup material, which means equipment and which data read out of these files will be issues of concern to people.
Write a back-up that is necessary. Note should be written back up the contents of the saved data format, such as the use of the machine type. If you need special software to读出, they should be attached with the disk management software, and to indicate the operation of the management software environment, such as installation methods. In short, the backup CD-ROM and should be back up storage units so that staff can be in case of emergency in the shortest possible time
