<![CDATA[This study aims to critically evaluate the management of dynamic archives at the Bandar Selamat Village Office, emphasizing the extent to which current practices align with the principles of dynamic archive management, rather than merely describing administrative stages. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through direct interviews with the Village Secretary of Bandar Selamat as the primary informant. Data analysis included data examination, reduction, presentation, theoretical linkage, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that dynamic archive management has been administratively carried out through letter receipt, agenda recording, sorting, grouping, storage, maintenance, and disposition. However, these practices remain dominated by a manual system, are not supported by a confirmed Archive Retention Schedule, lack special protective facilities such as a steel cabinet, and still face retrieval limitations. Archive digitization is only at the preparation stage. Thus, the apparent orderliness has not fully equated to reliable, secure, and sustainable dynamic archive management. This study recommends strengthening the retention schedule, classification arrangement, facility improvement, and digitization readiness accompanied by clear procedures and staff competence.]]>
