Yinzhou Achieves Full Coverage of Digital Archives Across 390 Villages and Communities

Lu Hua, an archivist at the Xianxiang Town Archives Office, recently processed a remote marriage record request from Hainan Village. Using the integrated regional archives management platform, she submitted the request to the district archives center. Within 30 minutes, the documents were delivered to the villager. On June 9, the District Archives announced that all 390 villages and communities in the region now have full digital archive coverage, allowing residents to access archival services directly from their neighborhoods.

This year, the District Archives enhanced service efficiency by establishing dedicated enterprise archives service windows. By integrating cross-departmental resources and providing one-on-one support, these windows offer businesses streamlined services, including retrieval, review, and printing of archival materials. Additionally, archives service counters have been set up in town and subdistrict public service centers, as well as village and community party-mass service centers, addressing high-demand areas such as social security, enterprise restructuring, and environmental protection to meet local business needs. With standardized archival organization and digital scanning completed, all villages and communities in Yinzhou now have digital archives rooms, greatly improving the district’s capacity to support grassroots governance and residents’ daily needs, effectively bridging the 'last mile' of archival services.

The District Archives has advanced digital transformation by promoting paperless application features, enabling businesses to submit retrieval requests online for greater efficiency. A three-tier online retrieval platform (district, town/subdistrict, and village/community) supports intelligent archival information matching, allowing cross-level and cross-region queries within a unified network. Mobile service integration has also been expanded, increasing awareness of retrieval portals on platforms like 'Zheli Ban,' Zhejiang’s government service app. Businesses can now use real-name authentication for legal representatives to access and download archives anytime, anywhere, addressing urgent operational needs.

Since early 2025, the District Archives’ digital solutions have enabled remote retrieval services for over 3,000 residents, facilitating access to nearly 10 million yuan in related subsidies.

The District Archives will continue to enhance archival services by innovating service models and standardizing procedures, transforming "dormant archives" into "dynamic archives" to support a new era of integrated government services and archival utilization.
