Combining theories with practices, this article reflects on six core issues about records management in e-government system. It initially proposes the necessity to distinct between the concepts of “electronic documents” and “electronic records” locally in Chinese. The archiving of records, which is argued to be the logical start point of practical electronic records management, can be divided into two phases including pre-archiving and official-archiving. It indicates that the theories of “life-cycle management” and “front-end control” can hardly be implemented in practical work, thus records office within agency should be clear about its position amongst the whole process of electronic documents, records and archive management. Specifically, it then presents deep analysis of roles and responsibilities with working principles from aspects of issues in authenticity guaranty and long-term preservation, extracting that inclusive management should be conducted against the diversity of electronic documents, while management of maintenance should be given upon the authentic long-term preservation of electronic records. Finally, through deliberations about the current conditions, root and trends of “dual-filing” and “dual-track” management system, it suggests a promotion towards the “single-track” of electronic records management in China.
