3. Ancient Chinese Archives: Overview  China is one of the long-lasting civilizations in the world.  Imperial governments were more interested in controlling than preserving the historical records, and there was no free/public access.  Enough records survived the prolonged chaos to shed a light on the extensive history of library and archival development.
