Traditional village is one of the most important living remains of Chinese farming civilization. Traditional village archive is an important carrier of recording villages’history, generating social memory,facilitating collective identity and constructing symbiotic community. However, limited by the subjective and objective conditions,archival institutions have not fulfilled their statutory duties and unleashed professional ability due to the marginalization or absence in the traditional village archive work. This paper explores the extent,depth,potency dimension and detailed path of archival institutions’participation in the traditional village archive work from four aspects as follows: formulating regulations and controlling quality in the archival management field,outputting techniques and coordinating all parties in the archival management field. By this way archival institutions could be supported to better record rural China and revitalize rural culture.
