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

“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.

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

In 1999–2000 the National Archives of Australia (NAA) adopted a functions-based approach to appraisal. Since that time functional
appraisal projects have for the most part been conducted in cooperation with individual agencies. What has been missing is
a broad whole-of-government or macroappraisal framework which might assist with the strategic prioritisation of projects,
the allocation of resources and the identification of high-value functions, activities and record classes. This article describes
a project commenced by the NAA during 2003–2004 to research and develop a functions-based macroappraisal framework for current
and prospective appraisal and for retrospective application to records of the past 30 years of the Australian Government.
The article compares the Australian approach with macroappraisal strategies pursued in Canada, the Netherlands and South Africa. 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

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

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

The author examines the adoption and evolution of macroappraisal at Library and Archives Canada from the point of view of
managing program information. Practices inherited from an earlier period were improved in the areas of accountability and
control of the administrative process, but these improvements could not support the new approach's most recent needs in terms
of communication, research and analysis, and reflection on the program's consistency and results. The operational sector responsible
for the program took the initiative to build an information system, the Records Disposition Authorities Control System (RDACS),
which proved a key asset in re-engineering the program, both in identifying problems and in sharing knowledge essential to
ist sucess. 相似文献

This essay is a preliminary assessment of David Bearman as the leading archival thinker of the late twentieth century. Bearman has revolutionized thinking in archival circles around the world by offering a defence of traditional archival notions of provenance, evidence, recordness, and contextuality that equals the noblest statements of a Hilary Jenkinson, and by positing a relevant, dynamic, engaged future for archivists to transform the Information Age into a Record-Keeping Age. The essay is both a personal reflection and critical analysis. There are three main themes: an assessment of Bearman's ideas and their overall importance to general archival theory; a more specific exposition of the nature and importance of the University of Pittsburgh Project and of where Bearman sees that its results are leading archivists and their profession and institutions in future; and a critique of some of the implications, if not the conscious intentions, of his ideas and methods that seem to exclude the cultural, historical, and heritage dimensions and uses of archives, public or private. The overall aim of the essay is to push the archival discourse to the next stage by challenging and constructively critiquing as well as extolling the work of this archival pioneer. 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.

This article provides an overview of evolving Australian records continuum theory and the records continuum model, which is
interpreted as both a metaphor and a new world-view, representing a paradigm shift in Kuhn's sense. It is based on a distillation
of research findings drawn from discourse, literary warrant and historical analysis, as well as case studies, participant
observation and reflection. The article traces the emergence in Australia in the 1990s of a community of practice which has
taken continuum rather than life cycle based perspectives, and adopted postcustodial approaches to recordkeeping and archiving.
It “places” the evolution of records continuum theory and practice in Australia in the context of a larger international discourse
that was reconceptualizing traditional theory, and “reinventing” records and archives practice. 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

A first introduction to archival science 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Theo Thomassen 《Archival Science》2001,1(4):373-385
This first introduction, written for educational purposes, is meant to be a concise basic text in which the core concepts
of archival science are coherently defined and explained, in a non-polemical way and departing from a de-institutionalised
point of view. It is not intended to support or reject any single theory, but to provide an overview. It should be read as
a synthesis of a variety of shared ideas and views, not as a manifesto of a new approach to archival science. If there is
anything new to it, it might be located in the coherent and integrated presentation. In this primer of archival science annotation
has been avoided.
The first of several versions of this First Introduction was written in August 1995. It was meant to meet the need of the
Netherlands Archiefschool for a basic text on archival science which could support its different programs for archival education
and training. After ample discussion with the archival science teachers of the Archiefschool, it was introduced in the 1995/1996
courses. From then on, it has been used in almost all courses and classes on archival science on the undergraduate, graduate
and postgraduate levels and in several training and retraining programs of the Archiefschool. The design of the first version
has been maintained in all subsequent versions, including this last one. Still, the text has frequently been adapted as a
result of discussions with students and colleagues, in and outside the school. This first English version can almost be deemed
as a collective product. Of the numerous colleagues who were engaged in this discussion and contributed to the text, special
mention has to be made of Peter Horsman, Hans Scheurkogel, Hans Hofman, Eric Ketelaar, Herman Coppens and Kent Hayworth, who
commented the English version. For the final text and all imperfections that may still cling to it I am, of course, responsible.
An earlier version in Dutch has been published as: Theo thomassen, “Een korte introductie in de archivistiek”, in: P.J. Horsman,

[目的/意义]宏观职能鉴定通常被认为是档案鉴定由“国家模式”走向“社会模式”的转变,从哲学基础、鉴定客体和价值追求来看,档案宏观职能鉴定的真正内核无疑是反映和尊重“社会”,但其是否为完全的“社会模式”、是否实现“知行合一”却有必要作进一步探析。[方法/过程]分别以“国家性”和“社会性”作为基本考察对象,分析阐述宏观职能鉴定对于两者的体现情况与程度。[结果/结论]宏观职能鉴定存在“国家性”有余而“社会性”不足的问题,若欲真正实现档案鉴定向社会模式转变的目标,应当将宏观鉴定与微观鉴定相搭配,将“自上而下”和“自下而上”的鉴定路径相结合,同时在鉴定时划分正式场域与非正式场域。 相似文献

Archival theory in Italy has a long tradition, going back as far as the second half of the nineteenth century, and with roots
in the 17th and 18th centuries. Central theme in the theory is themetodo storico, the principle of provenance, for the first time expressed in the late 19th century by Bonaini and Bongi. In the following
decades archivists like Casanova and Cencetti were among the leading authors. Elio Lodolini assigned himself the task to synthesize
ideas and notions, within a clear distinctions between records (registratura) and archives. One of the overall characteristics
of the rich Italian literature is the stressing of the cultural value of archives.
I have twice treated before the theme of archival theory in Italy from the fifties up to the nineties. The first time on the
occasion of the 25th anniversary of theScuola speciale per Archivisti e Bibliotecari dell'Università degli Studi “La Sapienza” di Roma in 1989, when there was an international round table on archival science in the State Archives of Rome. My essay,Italian archival science today, has been published in the proceedings of the meeting (cfr. Donato Tamblé,L'archivistica in Italia oggi, inStudi sull'archivistica, by Roma: Elio Lodolini, 1992). Some years later, in 1993, I published a book on contemporary Italian archival theory (Donato
Tamblé,La teoria archivistica italiana contemporanea (1950–1990). Profilo storico-critico (Roma, 1993) which was the sequel to the volume of Elio Lodolini on Italian archival history — (Lineamenti di storia dell'archivistica italiana (Roma, 1991). The purpose of my book was that of locating and identifying the scientific object of archival science as it
developed and was clarified in the thinking and in the lucubration of the contemporary Italian Archivists. 相似文献
