Abstract

As an important carrier of local chronicle undertakings and a significant component of the public cultural service system, the construction model of local chronicle museums directly affects the inheritance and dissemination efficiency of local historical culture. This article takes the cultural venue system of local Chronicles in Guangdong Province as the research object, and uses the method of combining field investigation and literature analysis to systematically sort out the development process, spatial layout and service characteristics of the construction of local Chronicles museums in Guangdong, and disses the core elements of the construction model of "five-level network, multi-party collaboration, digital and intelligent integration, and cultural empowerment". Research has found that the construction of Guangdong Local Chronicles museums has formed a "Guangdong model" that combines government leadership with social participation, integrates physical venues with digital platforms, and promotes the coordinated development of professional services and mass popularization. This model provides a practical sample for the high-quality development of local Chronicles museums across the country.
