Archive is an important thing that can be used in the field of academic and non academic. However, nowadays the awareness of the use of archives in society is still very low. Archive is often considered as the unattractive thing.

"It can be seen that nowadays society has little concern for archive. However, when they are in certain conditions, the archive is very functioning. In the field of law all the things are related to the archive. Backing up archive is very useful. Therefore, whatever it is we must make the archive to protect ourselves", Cok Mas added. (manik)
