A robotic arm slowly takes out a designated file box, places it in a temporary storage area, and then transports it to the file retrieval window, which is the popular "unmanned warehouse" nowadays; Yellowing paper files have high acid content, which used to require manual deacidification through multiple procedures. Now a spray deacidification machine can solve the problem; It doesn't matter if the old photos have low pixels or creases, but the digital image archive AI restoration platform can achieve "restoration as old" with just one click... These are not plot points from science fiction films, but are actually present in current archive management work.

Yesterday, the "Digital Memory New Era - Shanghai Archives Innovation and Development Exhibition Experience Activity" hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Archives Bureau was officially launched. This one month exhibition experience activity selects the latest achievements of various levels of archives departments in scientific and technological research and digital transformation work in the city, and creates six themed scene zones, including "Digital Archives Integration", "Modernization of Archives Preservation and Protection", "Long term Secure Preservation of Electronic Archives", "Full Process Management of Audio Visual Archives", "Application of New Technologies in the Archives Field", and "Digital Humanities Interaction of Archives". The system showcases the innovative applications of technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, and digital humanities in the business processes related to archives management.

In the underground exhibition hall of the new municipal archives, the reporter had an immersive experience of these "hardcore" technologies. Technicians point to black boxes pieced together like LEGO blocks, introducing a hypercube system that can utilize all space to achieve dense storage of files. According to calculations, its storage capacity can be 6 times that of a regular shelf and 1.5 to 2 times that of a dense shelf. At the same time, the modular construction mode of the "cubic warehouse" allows it to easily adapt to various scenarios, whether it is the construction of new warehouses or the renovation of old warehouses, which can facilitate the construction of this system.

On the other hand, a mini version of the electronic archives warehouse is presented to the audience. In recent years, digital resources in the collection of archives at all levels in China have been continuously enriched. However, digital resources themselves are easily modifiable and face issues such as carrier damage and system upgrades. If not addressed in a timely and correct manner, it will result in the irreversible disappearance of digital resources. The electronic archives warehouse displayed on site is equipped with the latest equipment such as anti magnetic cabinets, digital film cabinets, digital film readers, offline CD libraries, and Blu ray CD libraries. At the same time, warning mechanisms such as infrared sensors and temperature and humidity sensors are used to ensure the safety of electronic archives to the greatest extent possible.

The person in charge of this electronic archive repository project, Yang Anrong, also has a larger project on hand - the Digital Rosetta Project. He introduced that physical carriers such as disks, magnetic tapes, and optical discs used to store electronic records have extremely high requirements for the environment and reading devices, with a maximum lifespan of only ten years. The best medium for preserving information may actually be seemingly primitive stones. The researchers came up with the idea, "The main chemical component of glass and stone is silica. Why not try engraving information on the glass?"

Glass storage is not just a "brain hole". Microsoft Research Institute has launched a glass storage project, and the team led by Yang Anrong is also conducting research and development. Yang Anrong said that once data is written into glass, it can be well preserved for thousands of years, and storing glass hard drives is also very simple, without the need for high energy consuming equipment to achieve constant temperature or remove moisture from the air. In addition, the storage density of glass is also very high. 200 layers of digital information can be engraved on a two millimeter thick glass, and its capacity can reach more than 10 times that of a CD. "In this sense, glass storage is likely to become a Rosetta monument in the digital age, preserving social memory and inheriting human civilization."

How are the applications of these cool devices? Kang Yong, director of the Science and Technology Information Department of the Municipal Archives, told reporters that many of the technical achievements in the exhibition hall, such as electronic archives warehouse, artificial intelligence detection system, intelligent file search service terminal, spray deacidification machine, have been put into use in the Municipal Archives, and other equipment has also been used in other units in the city. He expressed the hope of showcasing and interpreting the new practices and achievements of the development of Shanghai's archival industry, inspiring archive workers to constantly explore, innovate, and forge ahead, and actively contribute archive strength to the construction of Shanghai's international digital capital.

On the same day, the academic exchange conference on "Digital Technology Assisting the Protection and Utilization of Red Archives" organized by the Shanghai Archives Society was also held at the Municipal Archives. At the meeting, experts, scholars, and technical research and development personnel from the National Archives Administration, Renmin University of China, Shanghai University, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai Archives, Jing'an District Archives Bureau, Shanghai Audio Visual Data Museum, the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China Memorial Hall, and Guangdian Information Development Company discussed and exchanged ideas on the construction of the red archive digital resource ecosystem, archive information resource sharing, and archive information security system construction, and shared their new explorations, practices, and experiences in the application of digital technology to the collection, protection, and utilization of red archive resources. Nearly 90 officials from the urban archives bureau and representatives of archive cadres from enterprises and institutions attended the meeting.
