The museum has achieved the honor of "Model County for Archives in the Construction of National Socialism's New Rural Areas" for Yuhuan, and it is the seventh in Zhejiang Province and the first in Taizhou City to be designed as, "First Grade Standard Archive in Zhejiang Province".

During the period of the Republic of China on the mainland, Yuhuan County government had not yet established an archive, and archive management was carried out by the General Affairs Department and the Secretariat Office, with dedicated clerks responsible for document management.

At that time, in order to meet the needs of coastal struggles, document and archive management were simplified and streamlined.

In the same year, it was awarded the title of 'Advanced Collective of Zhejiang Province's Archive System' for the fifteenth consecutive time.

It was estimated that by 1996, the archives had created direct and indirect economic benefits of more than 5 million yuan for the community.

[12] In 2013, based on becoming a 'Zhejiang Province Model County for Archives Work in the Construction of Socialism's New Rural Areas',[9] Yuhuan decided to establish itself as a 'National Model County for Archives Work in the Construction of Socialism's New Rural Areas'.

[16] On the morning of September 11, 2017, the ceremony for the new building of City Archives of Yuhuan was held, marking the beginning of this project.

Subsequently, equipment such as dehumidifiers, temperature control devices, vacuum cleaners, photocopiers, cameras, and recording machines were added, meeting the basic requirements for archive preservation, including protection against pests, rodents, fire, light, theft, moisture, and dust.

The originally planned location for the new building was in Yuhuan New City (specifically, Xuanmen III of Yuhuan Economic Development Zone), but it was later adjusted to Xuanmen II Cultural Square (located on Shugang Avenue, next to Xuanmenwan Sanqiao).

The new building was designed according to national standards and was constructed in two phases, with a total land area of 12,000 square meters.

Phase one had a floor area of 7,978.8 square meters, which is 11.4 times larger than the old building, with a total investment of more than 86.47 million yuan.

The ceiling is decorated with clerical script inscriptions that narrate the history and introduction of the archive.

Elements such as folding screens and auspicious cloud ceramic tiles have been incorporated into the walls.

[22] The construction of the new building adheres to a budget-friendly approach and does not pursue a high-end grand style.
