WHAT DOES ARCHIVAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

archival

Archive

An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities. They have been metaphorically defined as "the secretions of an organism", and are distinguished from documents that have been consciously written or created to communicate a particular message to posterity. In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist.

Definition of archival in the English dictionary

The definition of archival in the dictionary is of or relating to a collection of records of or about an institution, family, etc. Other definition of archival is transferred to a tape or disk for long-term storage rather than frequent use.

1
Betty Buckley
T Bone and I grew up together in Fort Worth, Texas. He had his own recording studio by the time he was seventeen years old. When we were both nineteen he made the first archival recording of my voice.
2
John Dykstra
I was involved in the color correction and the digital color correction. In an odd way, you end up making a film many times-the DVD, the archival record of a high-definition master, and so on.
3
Renee Fleming
I listen to archival and historic recordings. I love watching singers. I learned a lot from watching videos.
4
Stacy Schiff
Life-writing calls for any number of dubious gifts: A touch of O.C.D., a lack of imagination, a large desk, neutrality of Swiss proportions, tactlessness, a high tolerance for archival dust. Most of all it calls for an act of displacement. 'To find your subject, you must in some sense lose yourself along the way,' is Richard Holmes's version.
5
Lucien Smith
I definitely am concerned with preservation. For me, what's interesting is the archival state, or how long oil paintings last.
6
John Jeremiah Sullivan
The initial research will be very indiscriminate. I do a lot of reading, buy a stack of books and read and digest them, and then I start doing phone interviews and archival research and then the travelling.
