Abstract:At present, the construction of archival memory of public health events in China is based on official archives. Archival institutions should strengthen the collection and preservation of archives from the general public in public health events, and connect “official narrative” with “folk narrative”, which is conducive to the construction of allround, multilevel and diversified social memory. Through literature research and policy text analysis, this paper explains the connotation and theoretical basis of archive memory from the general public of public health events, affirms that archive memory from the general public can restore history and truth, maintain the integrity of social memory, carry out social commemorative activities, and enhance the value of social humanistic care. Finally, suggestions on the construction of archive memory from the general public by archives institutions are put forward, such as incorporating the archives from the general public into the scope of public health event archiving, encouraging public participation in the collection of public health event archives, encouraging and guiding private and community filing, constructing public health event memory project, and promoting the openness and communication of archives from the general public in public health events.
