Descriptive analysis of dynamic archive management at an educational institution, indicating areas for improvement in maintenance and training.
Archive management plays a crucial role in supporting the smooth administration and accountability of an institution, including Akademi Komunitas Negeri (AKN) Putra Sang Fajar Blitar. The objective of this study was to analyze the dynamic archive management system implemented at AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar. The research method was descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that dynamic archive management at AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar includes four stages: creation, use, maintenance, and depreciation. The archive creation and use stages have been running well, even using a digital system through the SINDE application. However, the maintenance stage has not been implemented optimally, and the depreciation stage has not been implemented at all. This is because AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar is a newly operating educational institution, so the maintenance stage has only been carried out a little, and no archives have yet been categorized as permanent. The focus is still on active archives and is moving towards managing inactive archives as the archive volume increases and the organization's journey ages. The results of this study provide evaluation material to improve the quality of dynamic archive management at AKN Putra Sang Fajar Blitar. Furthermore, the research findings also demonstrate the importance of improving human resource capacity in archives management, particularly in terms of understanding archival regulations and technical skills in using digital archive applications such as SINDE. The lack of training and outreach related to archives management has resulted in suboptimal implementation of the maintenance and reduction stages. Therefore, an institutional strengthening strategy is needed through ongoing training, the development of internal archival guidelines, and collaboration with local archival agencies to support more professional archives management in accordance with national archival standards.
