-A report by a scholar on H-PRC (February 2017), looking at urban communes records, compared the archival environment to functioning more like a DMV than for scholarly research, describing it as such: "The place is basically a room with a large window behind which the archivists sit. Visitors pick a number at the entrance and wait to be called, but usually there is not much of a crowd. I was assigned a spot at the window, at a dedicated computer -- all the sources are digitized -- so, day after day, I could not but overhear the conversations between district residents and the archivists. Most of the exchanges were quick and terse ("What kind of document do you want?" "Why do you need it?" "Is there a fee?"), but some hinted at personal and collective dramas." More surprising to this scholar was that, when questioned regarding an observation this scholar made about people not being able to obtain their marriage records, archival staff confirmed that pre-1981 marriage records (from the paichusuo (派出所)) seems to have been "thrown away" for unspecified reasons.  +A report by a scholar on H-PRC (February 2017), looking at urban communes records, compared the archival environment to functioning more like a DMV than for scholarly research, describing it as such: "The place is basically a room with a large window behind which the archivists sit.
