An empirical research on the disputes in the construction of archives digitization is helpful to understand the real judicial situation in the archives digitization construction and promote the legal compliance of archives digitization construction. Based on the perspective of the whole process, this paper analyzes the current situation and problems of disputes in the early, middle and late stages of archival digitization construction by using 464 judgment documents about archival digitization construction. The empirical study found that the courts handled the "non-existent archives" disputes irregularly, contractors frequently subcontracted and resubcontracted, leading to more disputes, the contractor's poor performance quality resulted in damage to the interests of archival institutions, the archival institutions did not standardize the bidding process for project outsourcing, and the infringement phenomenon in the digital utilization of archives should be paid attention to. In the future, we should distinguish between archives and government information, and establish the standard of retrieval obligation. Standardize subcontracting and resubcontracting processes to prevent subsequent disputes in advance; implement detailed contract and strict supervision, pay attention to archives staff training; optimize the bidding legislation and standardize the bidding process; at the same time, investigate bribery cases and consider sentencing factors comprehensively; abide by the fair use system and control user utilization behavior.
