Up to the present, human activites have been recorded in different ways and well kept with all efforts. Ever since the large-scale imporvement of the maintenance system of the French government documents near the end of the French Revolution, the secretly preseved national archives have been open to the public and have become important collections in modern archives. Therefore, the functions of the archives cover the collection, organization, cataloging, conservation, preservation and utilization. The documents of the government administrative organizations are no longer private possessions of such organizations but belong rather to the ownership of the people on the whole. The open availability of the administrative documents of the past kept in the archives has thus its essential importance in the implementation of the modern democratic system.
