In the opening keynote speech at the Eighth International Conference on the History of Records and Archives (I-CHORA 8) in Melbourne, Australia, the author provided an overview of archival displacement as an historical phenomenon, before concentrating on postcolonial cases and arguing for a fuller global history of the displacement of archives during decolonisation. The talk concluded with some thoughts on future directions for research on displaced archives. Understanding the term “displaced archives” to refer to any records that have been removed from the context of their creation and whose ownership is disputed, this short article elaborates further upon a potential research agenda for displaced archives, which remains an under-researched area in archival studies.

“流离失所的档案”：提出研究议程

在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的第八届国际记录和档案历史会议上的开幕式主题演讲（I-CHORA 8）中，作者概述了档案流离失所是一种历史现象，然后重点讨论了后殖民时期的案件并争论了非殖民化过程中档案迁移的更完整的全球历史。演讲结束时对流离失所档案研究的未来方向有一些想法。这篇简短的文章理解“流离失所档案”一词是指从其创建环境中删除的所有记录，并且其所有权有争议，因此，本文进一步阐述了流离失所档案的潜在研究议程，该议程仍是研究不足的领域。档案研究。
