Wherever it is possible autonomous post-graduate archival study has to be established.

Archival science is separate and independent one, so the archival study has to be similar. One of the XIII. Archival Congress, Beijing, China, recommendation regarding archival education is: "To foster the study of archives as a separate discipline ...". 42
