清宮存藏的明清檔案自一九二四年被公開以後，已成為研究明清史最重要的第一手史料，但由於歷史的原因，現分別保管於兩岸不同部門。除原由清宮保存的明清兩代中央朝廷檔案外，大陸地區還保存著若干不同地方級別和民間的明清檔案，為促進檔案學和史學研究，亦為促進兩岸學術交流，本文對有關檔案的保存現狀及其史料價值簡要介紹。

　　　　　Ever since their availability in 1924 the archives of the Ming and the Ching Dynasties collected in the court of the Ching Dynasty emperors have become the most important primary historical sources for the studies of the history of the Ming and the Ching Dynasties. However, owing to the modern historical factors such valuable data are now separately stocked by varlous departments on both sides of Taiwan Strait. On the mainland China, aside from those original central-government-level archives of the Ming and the Ching Dynasties kept at the Ching emperors court, the local-government-level and the ciivilian ones available at various locations are also under good mainteance. This article is a brief state-of-art account of the maintenabce of the above-mentioned reiated archives on the mainland China and an evaluation of their historical values for the promotion of the studies of the archives and the history as well as the academic exchange between both sides of Taiwan Strait.
