Career profile
As early as 1989, the United States certified the first batch of archivists and formally established the "Archivist Qualification Certification". The American Institute of Certified Archivists (ACA) also marks the formal establishment of the American archival professional qualification certification system.
The professional qualification certificate provided by ACA has become the professional certification standard in the United States and even the whole North America, which has had a great influence all over the world.
At present, China's archival industry still lacks a professional qualification certificate system, but if the archival workers' market is mature, compulsory entrance examination is imperative.
With the advent of the era of knowledge economy and the wide application of network information technology in archival work, the development of archival work is facing rare opportunities and great challenges, which also puts forward higher and higher requirements for archival managers and professionals engaged in archival management.
Extended data:
The professional and technical qualification examination of archives is divided into two grades: intermediate (archivist) and junior (archivist, assistant librarian and archivist). Examination subjects are the basic theoretical knowledge and archival work practice. The exam is closed and answered with a blue or black pen (or ballpoint pen or signature pen).
