Sistem Penyimpanan Arsip Pada Sub Bagian Keuangan Badan Kepegawaian dan Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia Kota Medan

Abstract

This research aims to identify and describe the filing system at the Finance Subdivision of the Human Resources Development and Staffing Agency (BKPSDM) of Medan City. Archives play an important role as a source of information and a decision-making tool in supporting the administrative operations of an organization. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the filing system still follows a traditional method using agenda books and manual centralized storage. However, its implementation is not yet optimal due to the lack of storage facilities such as ordner files and filing cabinets, as well as the limited understanding of archival procedures by the staff. As a result, archive organization is less structured and the retrieval process becomes difficult. The conclusion of this study is the need for improvements in the archival system through better facilities, staff training, and implementation of archival procedures aligned with modern archival principles.
