This paper reports on a study which applies content analysis to a group of management standards of personal archives published by general, academic and scientific archives. It shows that the standards involve two titles, personal archives and personage archives, but in practice, all the archives are established for famous people and a double standard (definite and indistinct) is used to confirm the object of documentation. The filing range is wide including private archives, which have to be collected by transfer, donation, deposit, emption, etc. It concludes that the standards have come to an agreement on the object and scope of filing, but there are differences on the term and classification. The time is ripe for the central government to take charge of drafting the standards.
