The exhibition showcased extensive archival materials in chronological order. Divided into five sections and 22 units, it featured over 500 photos, 60 objects and models, 100 archival materials, and nearly 20,000 words of introductory text, using various display methods across an 800-square-meter area.

The Binzhou Municipal Archives has utilized holidays and weekends to conduct "Student Open Day" educational activities for primary and secondary students. They have organized visits and learning sessions for over 100 groups of teachers, students, and parents.

Zhou Jie, deputy director of the Binzhou Municipal Archives, stated they would focus on building the education practice base brand and strengthening social education efforts, enabling more people to explore the city's history, increase their love for their hometown, and foster a better outlook on life.
