The issue of the record center has become a national public discussion. The debate about the urgency of the physical construction of the archive building is considered ineffective because it will waste the budget as opposed to the electronic or digital storage model in i-cloud storage media (cloud storage).

... The three business activities will be closely related to the archive. Information management in higher education will be largely determined by the management of its archives, both dynamic, in-active, and static archives. This is important when looking at what is the scope and function of archives in higher education institutions. Archives are collective memory, both individuals and institutions (Grau, 2017). Archives can serve as evidence and accountability for various activities (Randall C. Jimerson, 2007). In addition, the archive is also a source of information that is needed in personal or institutional life (Paul H. Mc Carthy, 1988) . This research, which was held at FISIP Unila, aims to find out which archive center is the most appropriate choice for FISIP UNILA, which is currently in the process of setting up an archive center. This study uses a descriptive approach with qualitative methods. The method of collecting data is through observation, interviews at FISIP UNILA, as well as various literature studies. The main problem that is currently being faced because it does not have a record center (archive center) is the occurrence of archive life cycle gaps and also hinders various archiving work activities at the University of Lampung. Through this research, it is hoped that the following specific objectives will be achieved, namely: (1) Accelerating the process of developing a record center at FISIP UNILA. (2) Help run the archive cycle in a structured and integrated manner, through the management of dynamic archives, in-active archives, and static archives in a structured manner in terms of their storage to conform to archival standards.
