This article explains the re-engineering of the government records disposition program at Library and Archives Canada (LAC)
in 2002–2004. The main point is that the framework of accountability has grown since the launch of the macroappraisal program
(often referred to as the planned approach to disposition) at the (former) National Archives of Canada (NA) in 1990–1991.
The opportunity for building an expanded framework of accountability presented itself after 2000 when a number of “push” (internal
to the disposition program) and “pull” (external to the program) factors coalesced to challenge a reduced program. The reengineering
exercise involved LAC government records archivists working together to develop the following new program documentation: Government-Wide
Plan (GWP); Memorandum of Understanding (MOU); Appraisal Checklist; Terms and Conditions for the Transfer of Archival Records;
Briefing Note for the Librarian and Archivist of Canada; and the Multi-Institutional Disposition Authority (MIDA) for Operational
Case Files. Significant work also went into creating version three of the Records Disposition Authorities Control System (RDACS).
As a result of reengineering the appraisal and disposition program, there is an accountability framework now in place for
more than keep-destroy recommendations, one that has moved beyond disposition to include acquisition of and accessibility
to the archival record. 相似文献

Both macroappraisal and the Australian records continuum-based DIRKS methodology have been influential in the New Zealand
debate on appraisal in recent years. The primary influence of macroappraisal has been in the area of prioritisation of appraisal
work. This paper considers New Zealand thinking on prioritisation, and the influences of risk management and functional analysis
on this issue. A lack of agreement on the purpose of appraisal in the professional literature is noted, and some personal
suggestions are offered on a model taking elements from macroappraisal and other methodologies. 相似文献

“Macroappraisal, the next frontier” describes a records disposition pilot project which was based on a refinement of the current
macroappraisal methodology in use at Library and Archives Canada. Still very much a work in progress, the refined approach
builds upon macroappraisal theory and methodology, and this paper presents its application to Fisheries and Oceans Canada,
a major federal government department in the Government of Canada. The project focused on providing the institution with total
records disposition coverage based on a single archival appraisal and two Records Disposition Authorities. This paper demonstrates
the feasibility of appraising records at the mandate level instead of at the function or program level. It also outlines and
points to the benefits and advantages of appraising large government institutions intheir totality rather than in smaller,
discrete sectors, branches, or divisions.
We wish to thank the journal’s readers for their comments on an earlier draft of this article. We also wish to thank Candace
Loewen for her insights, comments, and encouragement. Thanks are also extended to our colleagues who commented on various
aspects of the project during Library and Archives Canada (LAC) appraisal seminars. Kerry Badgley also wishes to thank Sarah,
Paul, and Shannon Badgley for providing a daily reminder of why it is important to document the past. 相似文献

In October 2004, the archival appraisal working group of the Association of German Archivists (Verband deutscher Archivarinnen
und Archivare) presented a position paper outlining the present status of the debate on appraisal within the Federal Republic
of Germany. What follows is an overview of this discussion as background and context for the group’s position paper; an examination
of the common ground between appraisal as practised in Germany and macroappraisal as developed in Canada; and a glimpse at
the future directions of this discussion in Germany. The position paper is appended to this article. 相似文献

Case files are voluminous and present challenges to archivists, government departments, and other institutions that are charged
with the responsibility of managing these records either throughout or at various stages of their life cycle. To date, archivists
and records administrators, both in Canada and worldwide, have recognized the case file challenge and are rethinking solutions
for dealing with this persistent problem. This article argues that by building on our cumulative knowledge acquired through
years of applying macroappraisal and functional analysis to the appraisal of government records, and staking out a modern
definition of “case file records” based on their transactional characteristics, we indeed do have the skills and the expertise
to tackle the problem and develop a new solution for case file records. Rather than taking a piecemeal approach or relying
on sampling techniques, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) Case Files Appraisal Working Group (CFAWG)1 demonstrates how to consistently make keep-destroy appraisal decisions for the disposition of operational case file records.2 相似文献

The author, a senior lecturer at Edith Cowan University in Australia, discusses the literature used to teach macroappraisal
of electronic records through distance education techniques within an environment rooted in the Australian records continuum.
In this context, students are given a sound grounding in systems analysis and design, as well as functional appraisal and
the importance of metadata. A key teaching element is the International Standards Organization's Information and Documentation—Records Management (ISO 15489), which she demonstrates has strong parallels to the principles of systems analysis and design. 相似文献

The dilemma of implementing macroappraisal is to transform theory and methodology into selection and preservation of archival records through disposition procedures. Having shifted the focus from the record to the function from which it derives, how does a program or an appraisal project committed to the macroappraisal approach get back to the record to ensure compliance and accountability? This paper uses the experience of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) as a form of case study (a model for success) which examines how applied theory and program practice come to terms with each other. It analyses the tensions, the challenges, and the creativity that inevitably arise when turning macroappraisal from an appraisal methodology into a fully articulated archival disposition program whose final “deliverable” is the archival record. Making things simple, it turns out, is complicated. 相似文献

A new appraisal method for national government records introduced in the 1990s aimed at reducing backlogs in the transfer
of pre-1976 records to the National Archives of the Netherlands. Since then, appraisal and disposition decisions are based
on macro analysis. Preventing new backlogs from occurring was a second goal. The socalled project PIVOT (1991–2001 and after)
coordinated the introduction, development, and implementation of the new appraisal method. This article describes the objectives,
method, and appraisal criteria, as well as the criticism and laborious progress of this ongoing story.

The author, a professor at the University of British Columbia, outlines the foundations of macroappraisal theory within the
Canadian federal government's records acquisition program, placing Terry Cook's 1992 essay “Mind Over Matte: Towards a New
Theory of Archival Appraisal” at the heart of his students' analysis of theoretical writings. In addition to reflecting on
the importance of case studies on the application of macroappraisal theory and methods, he concludes by touching on the applicability
of macroappraisal to elements outside the public sphere. 相似文献

Macroappraisal as developed in Canada has had significant currency in archival literature over the past decade, and aspects
of its program and ideas have been implemented in other jurisdictions. For the first time, this essay probes the theoretical
and practical origins of macroappraisal in Canada since 1950 and why its originators no longer found convincing the predominant
status quo on appraisal as articulated by T.R. Schellenberg. The essay then summarizes the theory of macroappraisal as articulated
at the National Archives of Canada, and the strategic and program infrastructure developed in the 1990s to turn the new theory
into operational reality. As no archival concept is universally locked in time, the evolution and changes in the macroappraisal
program, both in theory and strategy, are also analysed in its Canadian home base over its first decade, as well as some internal
and external criticisms of it. The essay intends to illuminate the deeper context of macroappraisal, so that an international
audience may better understand its strengths and weaknesses. As the author is the principal architect of macroappraisal, the
essay consists of equal parts of archival history, theoretical analysis, and personal reflection. 相似文献

An Australian Research Council project, Electronic Health Records: Achieving an Effective and Ethical Legal and Recordkeeping Framework, brought together experts in recordkeeping, privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property, torts, medical law and ethics
to address concerns with a major networked Australian health record initiative. The research required developing innovative
research tools and understandings, which provides an exemplar for methodologies to address multiple-disciplinary concerns
and priorities that set a precedent for future inter-disciplinary collaborative projects concerned with the analysis and design
of such systems. This article provides an analysis of the research design, methods, tools and findings of the project which
operated within a records continuum framework.

Archival objects in motion: historians’ appropriation of sources in nineteenth-century Austria and Switzerland 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Daniela Saxer 《Archival Science》2010,10(3):315-331
This contribution examines the social, material, and epistemic practices of historians and their counterparts engaged in the
textual and visual reproduction of historical sources in nineteenth-century Austria and Switzerland. The Schweizerische Urkundenregister (1863–1877), a Swiss register of medieval charters, and the Monumenta graphica medii aevi (1859–1883), an Austrian collection of photographic facsimiles of medieval sources, were both intended to make historical sources accessible
outside the archives in the framework of national history. The article analyzes institutional collaborations and the social
interactions among the actors involved and follows the trajectories of the mobilized archival objects. These projects for
national source publications appear as a negotiated social practice, in which archival objects were dislocated conceptually
as well as materially in order to be stabilized and reified again in new infrastructures of research. The conflicts surrounding
the projects reveal disputes about authority over the archival records, their significance, and the techniques required to
represent them properly, and show how the emergence of scholarly source publications accompanied a conscious erasure of older
contexts of meaning. 相似文献

The author, who is Guest Reviews Editor for this special issue on macro-appraisal, introduces and provides context for four
review articles, written by archival educators from Canada, the United States, and Australia, that discuss the most important
works they use to teach macroappraisal and why these works are chosen. While each article demonstrates the unique characteristics
of the archival education program in which the author is situated, they are united by a common theme—the need for educators
to prepare students, as best they can, to take their places as practising professional archivists. 相似文献

The author, a professor at the University of Toronto, touches briefly on the extensive and rich archival literature that supports
the teaching of macroappraisal, but notes that this is not the only educational material she offers her students when teaching
appraisal theory. She discusses the usefulness to archivists of literature from the fields of ethnography, organizational
knowing, records in history, personal documentary behaviour, memory, and communications, noting that the use of texts from
these fields can encourage students to reflect on their own presumptions and to develop a taste for the wide reading and research
that must support appraisal. 相似文献

In this short article, Henry Rosenbloom, the founder of Australian independent publisher Scribe, complains about the tactic
of UK-based publishers buying ‘Commonwealth’ rights and preventing Australian publishers from acquiring separate Australian
rights. ‘UK publishers are not entitled to Australia as a territory. It is our country, our market, and our industry,’ he
writes. This article was originally published in The Age newspaper in early 2008, then on Rosenbloom’s blog, and it was the catalyst for a spirited debate at this year’s London Book

Archival science is to be regarded as a system. The properties of that system can be investigated and integrated. The methodology
to do so has been tested in two research projects which are presented in this article as examples of the way in which the
view of archival science as a system supports the development of new knowledge and as a demonstration of the stability of
archival theory.
This article presupposes that the archival discipline is also a “science”. Many have argued against the idea on the basis
of a common perception that a science is a type of study entirely objective by virtue of the rigorous manner in which it is
carried out and the restricted range of topics to which it applies. In fact, the activity of science is based upon a complex
framework of assumptions that make it possible for the landscape of the scientific endeavour to be redrawn over time, and,
while striving towards objectivity, considers it to be an unattainable ideal. 相似文献

A right to preserve one’s culture is recognised in the United Nations human rights treaty system. Individual and collective cultural identity within government and private archives can be enabled through a participatory approach which acknowledges record subjects as record co-creators. This article analyses cultural human rights instruments found in international and domestic Australian laws as warrants for a participatory archive within the Australian context, premised on the recognition of the rights of those who are subjects of the record to add their own narratives to records held in archival institutions, and to participate as co-creators in decision-making about appraisal, access and control, thus shaping and reshaping the archive from their perspective. To this end, it proposes the use of social media to enhance cultural rights and cultural identity. Adopting the principle of rights maximisation, a participatory approach lessens the impact of the right to be forgotten on cultural rights. The article concludes that Australian archival policy makers and jurisdictions which have a human rights regime, have a clear mandate to give priority to the preservation of records of distinctive cultures, in particular those of Indigenous peoples and minorities. 相似文献
