我國《檔案法》於2002年正式施行，除開啟我國政府機關健全檔案管理之新頁，更賦予檔案中央主管機關—國家發展委員會檔案管理局（以下簡稱檔案局）徵集國家檔案之法定職權。古有云：「非規矩不能定方圓，非準繩不能正曲直」，以此喻凡事需要有標準、原則以行之。準此，檔案局面對數量龐大、價值不一之各類檔案，入藏與否也必須有執行策略為依歸；換言之，對檔案局而言，徵集策略之擬訂，攸關國家檔案典藏質量良窳之關鍵。檔案局前於2006年公布國家檔案徵集策略，揭櫫國家檔案蒐藏之7大主題、23項類別，逐年依據徵集實務推動滾動微調，迄今已近20年，隨著科技進步與環境變遷，並因應我國首座國家檔案館將於2025年落成啟用，國家檔案徵集策略有全面檢修之必要，爰著手進行內容修訂，以期國家檔案徵集工作能與時俱進，持續穩健推展。為建構宏觀且兼具深度、廣度之國家檔案徵集架構，特蒐整歐美先進國家之國家檔案館徵集策略以為標竿，從管理體制、檔案審選標準、移轉原則，乃至當前電子檔案管理趨勢等面向，加以比較分析，供我國修訂國家檔案徵集策略參考。

The Archives Act, formally implemented in 2002, has not only ushered in a new era in archives management for government agencies in Taiwan, but also empowered the central archives authority-in-charge-- National Archives Administration (NAA) of the National Development Council-- to acquire archives from government agencies. It has been said that nothing can be accomplished without rules or standards. In this regard, every profession has its own operation standards and principles. Facing large amounts and different kinds of archives, NAA must conform to specific rules to collect and preserve archives. In other words, the archives acquisition strategy is relevant to the maintenance of archives quality. In 2006, NAA announced its acquisition strategies for archives, including seven subjects and 23 categories for archives collection. These strategies have been annually reviewed and slightly modified according to acquisition practices on a rolling basis for almost 20 years. With technological progress and environmental changes, and for the needs of the newly-built National Archives scheduled to open in 2025, the archives acquisition strategies must be overhauled so as to keep up with the times and meet the demands. To formulate an acquisition structure in terms of the depth and width, this study collected and organized related acquisition strategies adopted in Europe and America, as well as compared facets of management systems, appraisal standards, transfer principles, and current trends of electronic archives management for the reference of formulating Taiwan’s archives acquisition strategies.
