In the context of Vietnam's accelerated modernization of public administration, archival activities are also facing demands for innovation in organizational models, management methods, and utilization of records and documents. Based on an analysis of the theoretical foundations of archival socialization and models of socializing archival activities, this article assesses the current implementation of such practices in Vietnam; identifies challenges related to institutional frameworks, awareness, human resources, and technology; and proposes solutions for improving the legal framework, developing human resources, expanding public-private partnerships, and promoting innovation in the provision of archival services. The research findings affirm that socialization of archival activities is an inevitable direction, contributing to development of a modern, transparent, and sustainable archival system capable of meeting the requirements of state governance, socio-economic development, and the preservation of national cultural heritage in the digital era.
