The results showed that archive management at SMP Negeri 6 Satu Atap Dulupi still has many obstacles. From the policy specs, there are still limited human resources specifically in the field of archives, lack of understanding of records management among teachers, and poorly structured organization of archives causing records management to be ineffective. Furthermore, looking at the determinants of records management, the results of the study show that financial management is not optimal, limitations of digital management, limitations of physical storage, and lack of a structured management system. Increased understanding, utilization of technology, the role of stakeholders, more focused supervision, and increased structuring in managing archives are needed to increase their efficiency and effectiveness.
