：家谱文献作为“史料”的价值常因陷入虚构与真实之争而受到质疑，但作为“文化记忆”媒介的价值得到历史人类学相关领域的重视。文章通过对“文化记忆”理论框架的梳理，对“研究者如何利用作为文化记忆媒介的家谱文献”这一问题进行文献调研，分析了家谱文献在文化记忆视域下，认为作为“记忆”媒介而非“历史”媒介、是“当下”而非“过去”记忆的见证、所反映出来的“为什么”比“是什么”更重要等特性。文章试图通过更为精准地定位家谱文献的目标用户和典型应用场景，为家谱文献收藏管理机构在整理研究和开发利用方面，提出重新认识家谱文献价值的思路和深度开发家谱文献内容的方法及路径，并以上海图书馆家谱知识服务平台中“湖北麻城”迁入迁出相关内容的深度开发为例，验证了所提出的思路、方法、路径的可行性。
