Abstract

This research discusses the challenges of archivists in the digital era, with a focus on the transformation of traditional archival services to paperless in legal entity universities, with Surabaya State University as a case study. Along with the growth of information technology, the implementation of digital archives in academic institutions has become crucial, but still faces various obstacles. The urgency of this study lies in the urgent need to align the archival system with technological developments, improve operational efficiency, and ensure data security and accessibility. The main objectives of this study are to identify obstacles and opportunities in archival transformation, develop a conceptual model for digital archive development, and evaluate its implementation in a legal higher education environment. This article will discuss the research findings, the resulting conceptual model, and lessons learned from the implementation at Surabaya State University. By sharing experiences from these cases, this study contributes to the digital archival literature and provides valuable insights for other higher education institutions facing or planning similar transformations to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their archival services in the digital era. The results of the study obtained from collecting data from respondents who are archivists and positions related to archives and correspondence concluded that they experienced obstacles in managing and providing manual archive services so that a special system was needed to manage digital archives at Surabaya State University.
