1. What is archival science?
When it comes to archival science, the first impression that comes to everyone's mind must be the massive files, repetitive and boring mechanical work and boring professional knowledge in archives ... But in fact, archival specialty bears the responsibility and mission of preserving human memory and shows the perfect connection between "humanity" and "numbers" in the information age.
Second, why did you choose the unpopular major of archival science?
Archival science, an unpopular major, is by no means a helpless place after being transferred. More is a firm choice after hesitation. By the way, many students in our major take archival science as their first choice when they are diverted, and even have a super high GPA.
Then why did Sister Goo Goo choose archival science? Here, I want to borrow a teacher's sentence: "The ideological depth and humanistic feelings of archival science major, as well as the study of technology and calculation methods, have well balanced' numbers and humanities' and will continue to give students the motivation to learn happily from the heart. Archives science of unpopular specialty is such a discipline that balances "numbers and humanities".
At the same time, I want to emphasize that a country cannot live without memory, history and past, and a country cannot live without archives. The mission of archivists is to "preserve the history of the country, manage the party and serve the people". Archival science needs us, and we are attracted by archival science, which is a two-way choice process.
Third, the feeling of learning archival science, an unpopular major
The biggest feeling is that when you mention your professional name to everyone, everyone will look surprised, and you can even see that they don't understand. However, our unpopular professional archival science is really unfair!
In the information age, archival science is undergoing transformation, and there is no shortage of theory and technology. More importantly! In addition to the class content, we will also have many activities such as "observing and restoring ancient books on the spot", "sharing archives news on the lawn" and "visiting the school history museum". The archival science of the unpopular major is far less boring than everyone thinks. On the contrary, it is full of vitality.

In terms of training requirements, the archival science major of Wuhan University requires students to acquire the following knowledge and abilities through systematic education and training in archival management, government information management and modern information technology: 1, to master the basic theories, basic knowledge and methods of archival management and government information management, as well as subject knowledge related to information management; 2, master certain modern information technology skills, and can be skillfully applied to file management, government information management, government website development and digital archives construction; 3. Ability to manage modern information files; 4, familiar with China's information policies and regulations, archives laws and regulations, as well as the national archives policy. It can be seen that archival science trains archivists who can keep pace with the times and meet new challenges, opportunities and directions with archival science, and archivists will not be eliminated by the times.
Fourth, is the college major upset really over?
It seems that the last point is relevant, but each of the previous sentences is an answer to this question, and it is definitely not fooling everyone.
First of all, the conclusion: the unpopularity of college majors has not really ended, and it must not really end.
Because Gu Gu Ma is studying archival science, the whole article takes archival science as an example, but I believe that any unpopular major does not mean that it is over, provided that you choose this subject from your heart. Every choice is difficult. It is important to choose your major according to your own interests and life planning, look up at the starry sky in your heart and embark on the road of firm choice.
The dormitory is free to shoot snow scenes.
It is really biased to judge the future only by the popularity of the profession. Take computer and civil engineering as examples. Who would have thought that the major of civil engineering more than ten years ago needed to be in the forefront to choose, but today's computer major was an unpopular one at that time.
Times are changing, and only "love can last". Tell everyone that an unpopular major doesn't mean it's over. It doesn't mean that students choose a seemingly "dull" unpopular major because of the pressure of entering a higher school or the pressure of courses, let alone that the unpopular major is not "dull". I want everyone to really think about what they love and then make a firm choice. When you love it, whether it is unpopular or not, you are free to walk side by side with it.
