澳門大學圖書館與珠海市檔案館簽署合作協議

On 28 November 2025, the Zhuhai Archives and the University of Macau Library signed a partnership agreement at the Zhuhai Archives. Under the accord, both institutions will deepen archival and cultural exchanges between Zhuhai and Macao in support of the country’s Belt and Road Initiative, jointly injecting fresh momentum into the building of a “Humanistic Bay Area”.

Guided by the principles of “equality and mutual benefit, complementary strengths, and collaborative innovation, and shared results”, the partners will focus on the discovery, preservation, study and utilization of precious historical records and create a long-term cooperation mechanism that advances both the inheritance and the innovation of Xiangshan culture. The collaboration focuses on three key areas: (1) Build a Xiangshan-Bay Area historical and cultural resource-sharing platform to tell “Xiangshan stories” and “Bay Area stories” together; (2) establish a “Zhuhai-Macau Historical Research Special Project” to provide academic support for the two cities’ integrated development; (3) strengthen exchanges on archival informatics and preservation technology, jointly exploring deep applications of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies in the archives field.

Zheng HUANG, Director of the Zhuhai Archives, said the partnership demonstrates the determination of both institutions to serve the national strategy and strengthen cultural identity across the Bay Area. By pooling resources and leveraging respective strengths, the two sides will protect, transmit, and creatively use the archival and historical heritage of the region. Hong XU, University of Macau Librarian, noted that the signing of the agreement marks a new phase in their cooperation. Under a co-construction and sharing mechanism, the partners will not only delve deeper into Xiangshan culture but also provides solid archival foundation for raising the cultural soft power of the Greater Bay Area.

After the signing ceremony, the University of Macau delegation visited the Zhuhai Archives’ public service hall, special-collections room and the unmanned warehouse set to commence operations. They also watched a demonstration of the Zhuhai Digital Archives System. Both parties also engaged in-depth discussions on archival resource development, preservation and conservation, and the construction of a comprehensive AI-powered digital archives.
