An ID card, \u201cvalid until 31 December 1962\u201d, the information contained therein stating that the person <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was born in the province of Can Tho in February 1919, employed at the Ministry of Public Security, and with a residential address on Tran Binh Trong street in Hanoi. On various small black and white photographs were individual and group portraits taken against different backgrounds; some already stained, others with notes at the back pertaining to names of people and places, and the dates when the photographs were taken: Ha Dong, March 1956; Nam Ninh, December 1960; Thong Nhat Park, March 1962. A New Year\u2019s card, on which printed the image of an open book, a violin, and two purple paper flowers. Handwritten letters, files, medical records, voter cards, and more.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Folder 9044 is one of the 72,000 kept at the National Archives Centre III on Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) civil officers \u2013 72.000 officers who moved from the North to the Southern battlefields, through civilian roads, during the period of 1959\u20131975 (a majority of them were Southerners who had previously been called to the North to train). Before their departure, all of their documents \u2013 including personal papers, letters, photographs, etc. \u2013 were left at the Government Unification Committee, like fragments of lives that had gone by.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What of the things that remain unknown and unrepresented in the archive: what places had these officers gone to, what roles had they played in historical events, what had happened?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMany lost their lives in the war. For others, when their files were sent back to the localities, more than half ended up unreceived, perhaps the officers had moved or passed away,\u201d shared Tran Viet Hoa, Director of the National Archives Centre III. When the war was over, these keepsakes of the South-bound officers went under the management of the State Records and Archives Department of Vietnam, before being transferred to the National Archives Centre III. Efforts to return the files continue to this day.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1743&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; el_class=&#8221;font-worksans text-justify&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of Vietnam\u2019s four national archive centres, Centre III was established in 1995, tasked with archiving post-1945 documents and materials related to State offices based Northwards of Quang Binh Province; whereas Centre I holds pre-1945 documents pertaining to feudal and colonial times, Centre II is in charge of holdings of current Southern bodies and the then-South Vietnam government, while Centre IV in Da Lat preserves documents from the Central region as well as historical woodblock prints.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNumerically speaking, Centre III has 14 kilometres of shelving for holdings of various types. Apart from paper documents are audio-visual holdings &#8211; all relatively well preserved following standards on temperature, humidity, and fire protection\u201d, said Ms. Hoa. Regardless of categories or of how they seem to be unexciting documents of administrative nature, the files build up one\u2019s understanding of various layers of history. Hoa told us about the decrees issued during 1945\u20131946 at the earliest days of the DRV following its Independence declaration. In the Centre\u2019s library, I then came across a book that serves as a sort of chronicle of Hanoi between 1873\u20131954 \u2013 made up of official dispatches, decrees, reports, etc. issued by the city\u2019s councils \u2013 a recollection of a range of events, from the macro to the micro, pertaining to every month of the 73-year span. Another book provides a comprehensive inventory of Hanoi street names over different periods of time.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; el_class=&#8221;font-worksans&#8221;]\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p class=\"vfcd-text-green\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><q>\r\nWe believe that holdings of personal nature are important not only to the owners\u2019 families, but to future generations as well.\r\n<\/q><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; el_class=&#8221;font-worksans text-justify&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collating archived materials towards such publications are only one of the activities of Centre III. \u201cIn Vietnam, archives are considered as quite academic and mysterious,\u201d Hoa smiled, \u201cand our hope is that the public can understand what our Centre is doing, and how that benefits them.\u201d Indeed, not everyone knows that beside administrative documents, the Centre also preserves items belonging to individuals: an example would be the folders on South-bound officers, but the acquisition of personal collections still happens these days. Other examples include documents on Bui Trang Chuoc (creator of the National emblem) and Van Cao (composer of the National anthem) \u2013 two of many individuals with \u201csignificant contribution\u201d in various fields who have their work preserved here.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen acquiring rare documents, we have to convince families that the Centre has better preservation conditions, and the documents that have worn out over time will be repaired and restored. Many families\u2019 concerns include if they might actually be charged any fee in depositing documents with us, or if they receive anything from donating. We do have an allowance, but it is not a large amount. We believe that holdings of personal nature are important not only to the owners\u2019 families, but to future generations as well.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid gap=&#8221;0&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1606102437465-375d3e26-bc62-8&#8243; include=&#8221;1747,1749,1751,1739,1741,1753&#8243; el_class=&#8221;longform-full-width&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1541&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;longform-section font-jeanluc&#8221;]\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Digitisation and story-telling<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221; el_class=&#8221;font-worksans longform-dropcap text-justify&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with other archival organisations in Vietnam these days, apart from acquiring, preserving and restoring, National Archives Centre III understands the importance of promoting their holdings \u2013 for these to be truly \u2018living\u2019 and able to tell their stories. Beside a reading room, an exhibition space with thematic displays and field trips for students \u2013 all offered free of charge \u2013 the Centre\u2019s communications and social-media channels are actively used in promotion activities. \u201cThe department responsible for the Promotion of the Archives is in charge of the Centre\u2019s website and Facebook page, which is updated with two to three posts per week introducing the valuable documents, taking into account the public\u2019s interest\u201d, said the Centre director.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBut it\u2019s in the process of promoting their collections that archives are faced with a number of questions. How could they enable others to access certain types of holdings when the technology required to access them has become more or less obsolete (the difficulty these days for just anyone to watch an analogue film print or listen to what\u2019s stored in a minidisc). Or, what risks would there be in consulting actual original versions of everything?\r\n\r\nThough not an absolute solution and by no means a replacement for physical experience, digital technology in general and digitisation in particular are the most possible way out of these dilemmas. \u201cDigitisation is very important; because the more often we bring the documents out of storage for consultation, the shorter their lifespan. And moreover, a physical document would take longer time and more procedures to access or disseminate. Digitisation more or less addresses these problems\u201d, said Hoa.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, only approximately three per cent of the Centre\u2019s holdings have been digitised, affected by various factors: budget, equipment, human resources, as well as certain digitisation criteria: priority is given to documents with older origin dates or higher frequencies of consultation requests. It is, indeed, a race against time.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;4rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInUp&#8221; el_class=&#8221;font-worksans&#8221;]\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p class=\"vfcd-text-green\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><q>\r\nArchiving is hard work carried out in silence, but when we read each and every document we have access to, we feel that it\u2019s a truly worthwhile undertaking.

According to Tran Viet Hoa, the Centre is also \u201caccelerating digitisation over the near future to give the public better access to the archive, as well as setting up a virtual reading room so that people from all over the country and the world could access the archives, with a fee. We\u2019ll also continue to transfer and connect our data with that of other national archives.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is then the motivation for these archivists to continue their work, one \u201cquite complex in terms of operations and requires high expertise in the field\u201d, year after year?\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are very much dedicated, because even though archiving is hard work carried out in silence, when we read each and every document we have access to, we feel that it&#8217;s a worthwhile undertaking. It&#8217;s both an honour and a responsibility.\u201d said Hoa.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before being appointed as the Centre director, Ms. Hoa taught Administrative Law at the Hanoi University of Home Affairs and held various positions in the State Records Management and Archives Department. \u201cMy family has people working in the archival field and I have learnt so much about this job, but initially I didn\u2019t want to pursue this career. After switching through different positions and at last becoming an archivist, witnessing the daily activities, seeing people come here to consult documents, or seeing families finally finding belongings of their loved ones after so many years, I&#8217;m now sure this is my calling.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;longform-full-width&#8221;][vc_column][vc_raw_html]PCEtLSBUSElTIElTIFBBUkFMTEFYIERJViAtLT4NCjxkaXYgY2xhc3M9Imxvbmdmb3JtLWZ1bGwtd2lkdGgiIHN0eWxlPSJoZWlnaHQ6IDgwdmg7IGJhY2tncm91bmQtaW1hZ2U6IHVybCgvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMjAvMTEvaG8tc28tZGktQi0wMi5qcGcpOyBiYWNrZ3JvdW5kLXBvc2l0aW9uOmNlbnRlcjsgYmFja2dyb3VuZC1zaXplOmNvdmVyOyBiYWNrZ3JvdW5kLWF0dGFjaG1lbnQ6Zml4ZWQ7IGJhY2tncm91bmQtcmVwZWF0Om5vLXJlcGVhdDsiPjwvZGl2Pg==[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8rem&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=&#8221;black&#8221; el_width=&#8221;20&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;8rem&#8221;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; el_class=&#8221;longform-text-credit text-justify font-worksans&#8221;]<b>NATIONAL ARCHIVES CENTRE III<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> operates under the State Records &amp; Archives Department of Vietnam, tasked with archiving documents and other materials related to State offices that are based in Quang Binh province up to the Northern region, as well as other materials of social\/cultural\/historical values, donated or acquisitioned from organisations and individuals.
