本文以時序為主軸,探討臺灣光復後,檔案分類制度的沿革,以臺灣省政府公報及行政院相關調查報告為主要研究範圍,依據分析結果,將民國35-70年間檔案分類發展分為三個時期:第一時期為肇始時期(民國35年-47年),此時期各單位檔案分類方式不一。第二時期為公文處理改進時期(民國48年-60年),此時期臺灣省政府與行政院檢討民國45年行政院發布《事務管理手冊》的實際實施情形後,臺灣省政府再提出新的規範,其將國防部檔案分類排序方法納入規範。第三時期為檔案管理改進時期(民國61年-70年),臺灣省政府重新盤點自光復後的檔案管理問題,於民國68年提出新的修正法規,將保存年限表與檔案分類表合一,至此我國檔案分類制度大抵穩定。
This article discussed the evolution of the records classification system after the retrocession of Taiwan chronologically. The main research scope is the Taiwan Provincial Government Bulletin and the related investigation reports of the Executive Yuan. Based on the analysis results, the development of records classification (1946-1981) is divided into three periods: The first period was the Onset Period (1946-1958), when the records classification of each government institution was inconsisent. The second period was the Official Document Processing and Improving Period (1959-1971), when the Taiwan Provincial Government and the Executive Yuan reviewed the practical implementation of the administrative manual issued by the Executive Yuan in 1956, and then the Taiwan Provincial Government proposed a new standard, which included the classification and sorting method of the Ministry of National Defense. The third period was the Records Management Improving Period (1972-1981). The Taiwan Provincial Government reviewed the issues of records management since the retrocession of Taiwan during the period. In 1979, it proposed new amendments and regulations that combined the retention period table with the records classification table. From then on, records classification system in Taiwan became stable.
