Abstract

By reviewing the history of the public cultural service space in National Archives of China, this paper intended to explore the characteristics of archives space and the spatial expansion mode in the digital humanities era. This paper reviewed the theoretical foundation and practical basis of the spatial expansion of archives, and expounded new thinking and new path for the expansion of archives space in the digital humanities context, by decomposing space into two basic forms and analyzing its diverse characteristics. The construction of archives space requires archivists to uphold the balance between technology and humanity, achieve the goals of constructing archives humanistic space, archives memory space and archives communication space through the means of the construction of people, resources and technology, and create a new pattern of archives work. This research suggests further study on experience from digital humanities and digital memory projects, analysis on the construction experience of other public cultural spaces such as libraries and museums, and constantly understand the deep meaning on the practice of space in the future.
