A system and method for packaging and unpackaging files using a markup language wrapper for network search and archiving services. The method (500) begins by creating at least one package of metadata to associate with at least one file (510). Then, at least one file to which the created package of metadata is to be associated is selected (520). Next, a metapackage is created by embedding the package(s) of metadata and the selected file(s), in their original form, into a markup language record (530). The created metapackages may then be provided for search over a computer network (540), where they can be searched and retrieved based on desired metadata values (550). Once retrieved, at least one file is extracted from the retrieved metapackage(s) for viewing by a searcher in their original form (560).
