2月5日下午，来自40多个国家的60余名上海大学国际学生走进上海市档案馆，开展了一场以档案为媒介的寒假知华实践活动。通过珍贵的文献、影像与实物，学生们沉浸式探寻上海百年变迁，在跨越时空的对话中，深入感受这座城市的历史底蕴与文化魅力。
档案馆内近千件展品脉络清晰地勾勒出上海自1843年开埠至今的沧桑巨变。《共产党宣言》首部中文全译本、承载市井记忆的石库门里弄场景、标注浦东开放步伐的规划文件、记录改革开放历程的年代照片墙……一份份档案、一张张影像，串联起一段段鲜活的上海记忆。为帮助国际学生更好地理解展品背后的故事，馆方特别安排中英双语讲解团队，细致解读上海从历史走向今天的奋斗历程与包容精神。
在档案查阅服务中心，工作人员向学生们介绍了馆内数字化便民服务与外籍人士查档机制。通过“上海档案信息网”及“上海市档案馆”微信小程序，可在线检索已开放档案目录及数字化成果；外籍人士凭护照等有效证件亦可预约查阅馆藏资料。这些服务为学生的学术研究与论文写作提供了坚实支持，获得了在场同学的广泛好评。
此次活动不仅是一次历史知识的普及，更是一座跨文化沟通的桥梁。通过档案，国际学生们触摸到真实、立体、生动的上海，也在中外文明互鉴的语境下，让上海故事焕发出新的活力，让档案里的上海故事走向世界。

Glad to share that today we visited the Shanghai Municipal Archives in Pudong, Shanghai, China. As a research scholar, I observed that the Archives offer a highly professional and well-organized research environment. I was particularly impressed to learn that the institution houses approximately six million archival items, reflecting the depth and breadth of Shanghai’s historical and administrative records. Moreover, the environment is exceptionally neat and well maintained, underscoring a strong institutional commitment to research and preservation standards. Notably, the vast majority of archival sources are accessible in digital format, which greatly facilitates scholarly work. The archival staff were respectful, supportive, and provided a clear briefing on the history and holdings of the Archives. Overall, the Shanghai Municipal Archives represents a model institution for modern archival management and academic research support.

Visiting the Shanghai Archives today was an informative journey through time. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and the millions of archives were well organized. Seeing the original documents, some over a century old, felt like entering a hushed time capsule of Shanghai’s history and growth journey. Handling Shanghai’s history up close and in its original form made the whole experience deeply rewarding and inspiring. Definitely a treasure trove for every international student interested in this city’s layered history.

Until today, I knew that Shanghai was built from nothing. But today, I truly felt its journey—the struggle of how a world-class city was built while facing countless challenges, including devastating wars and tremendous sacrifice. This visit has left me with wonderful memories, and I would say it stands as an outstanding example for developing nations around the world.

As an international culture heritage PhD student at Shanghai University, I had the opportunity to visit many cities across China & experienced diverse culture heritage sites & many festivals. Each experience has deepened my understanding of Chinese culture & strengthened my appreciation for its rich traditions. Today visiting the Shanghai Municipal Archives was especially meaningful, as the historical records of Shanghai are excellently preserved in digital form. The clear explanations from the Chinese speakers helped us learned new and valuable info about the city's history. I'm truly grateful to the International Students Officers and team workers, the speakers for their efforts in making this cultural experience possible. It was an unforgettable and enriching experience.

It was truly magnificent to observe all the main historical events archived and gathered at one place, Shanghai has been through a lot of changes and event, so I like to include that as we say in Iran “A nation that does not know its history is doomed to repeat it.” It’s truly important to remember and learn your own history.
