Résumé

Les questions reliées à l'acquisition de documents privés ainsi qu'à leur «importance nationale» furent une préoccupation constante dans le secteur des archives multiculturelles et, plus généralement, dans le domaine des archives sociales et culturelles. Cet article décrit l'évolution des diverses tentatives de la Division des manuscrits des Archives nationales du Canada pour trouver des réponses à ces questions. Il examine aussi quelques-unes des pressions, venues tant que l'intérieur que de l'extérieur des Archives nationales, pour produire des solutions acceptables. En l'absence de solutions appropriées, l'accent peut quelquefois être mis sur le processus et les procédures. L'auteur de cet article a participé à ces efforts mais en fut également un observateur attentif et intéressé.
