Atena Hensch: Dear Abdi-Cyrus with all due respect, I disagree with you. "Baygani ye Raked" is a legal term and "stagnant archive" is related to website and database.

-> Your comment is welcome,but "Baygani ye Raked" applies to any office archive.

Edward Plaisance Jr: Unfortunately, none of the sites you suggest present a true use of the Persian terrm in English. Yes, it is possible to say an archive is stagnant, but it would not be what an English speaker would use. Dead/closed/inactive file are valid terms

4 hrs

-> "بایگانی راکد" خود ترجمه تحت الفظی است از انگلیسی و اصطلاحاتی که شما به کار بردید همه کاربردهای دیگری دارند و اصلا در مورد بایگانی اداری به کار نمی روند

Closed File Box

Explanation:
According the law in different countries, when a file has been through different legal stages and it has got to the end, the file needs to be stored before it destroyed and in Iran they call it "parvandeha ye Makhtoome" ya "Parvandehaye Raked" and this is equivalent to "Closed file" in the legal world. These closed files are archived and for each archive they call it "Closed File Box". simply because they put (or used to put) each file into a box.

Refer here http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/closed-file.htm...

Closed File: File to which no new documents or records are likely to be added because (1) matter concerning it has been completed, (2) there is no hope to complete that matter, or (3) a fixed time limit has expired.

Several points to consider here:

1. If بایگانی راکد is a literal translation from English, what was the English phrase it was translated from?

2. Numerous websites such as

http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/ww1/02-06.html , http://doe.sd.gov/oess/Birthto3/statesuggforms/INACTIVEFILEM... , http://www.anu.edu.au/records/recordsmanual401.php, http://www.sadihospital.ir/int_page.asp?id=28, http://books.google.com/books?id=b2Q5v0_se8QC&pg=PA466&lpg=P... http://www.mums.ac.ir/sina/fa/document#doc1

provide guidelines for active/inactive files/records/archives.

3. Whether it be in medical, educational, judicial, legislative, or business arenas, they all commonly use the term “inactive”.

4. It should also be noted that “inactive” is not exclusively for computers.

The use of the word “inactive” for files/records/archives goes way back before computers were even used in offices. Other terms such as “dead” or “closed” may also be used in the office environment but the most common is “inactive”.

5. A Google search of “stagnant archive” and “stagnant file” yields very limited results, most of which describe files or archives which are somehow “stuck” in the system or not moving as they should through the system.

They do not describe a location where files/records are stored either electronically or physically because they are no longer in active use.

6. Returning to Question 1 above, there is no reasonable way that “stagnant archive” was the source of the literal translation for بایگانی راکد

dead records

Explanation:
'dull' and 'stagnant' refer to water and air movement so they are not suitable to use in this case.
