Explorations on the Classification of Local Historical Documents in Local Records Museums Taking the Classification of Guangdong Local Historical Documents as an Example

地方文献分类是方志馆的一项基础业务,做好地方文献分类工作,对有效揭示方志馆特色馆藏,提高用户对方志馆地方文献的检索和利用有着非常重要的作用。《中国图书馆分类法》类分地方文献具有优势,同时也有一定局限性。只要对《中国图书馆分类法》进行适当的调整,克服局限,突出地方文献的地域性,就可以作为方志馆地方文献分类的工具。还要完善地方文献的管理系统,让传统分类与现代化技术相结合。要在地方文献分类时,充分考虑用户的地域性、内容方面的需求,做到科学、合理。这必将大大提高地方文献利用率,提升方志馆服务地方社会发展的质量与水平,可以充分发挥地方文献的价值。
