The Archivist as Planner and Poet: Thoughts on the Larger Issues of Appraisal for Acquisition

  • Barbara Lazenby Craig

Résumé

Cet article traite de questions reliées aux stratégies d'acquisition dans le domaine des documents privés. Il analyse les relations entre le processus d'acquisition et les mandats des institutions d'archives de même que les notions d'importance. L'évaluation y est liée aux concepts plus larges du temps, de la mémoire et de la conservation à long terme des documents. Quatre grands secteurs de la recherche archivistique sont mis en évidence : le rôle de l'évaluation dans la conservation, la nature des documents personnels, les liens entre les archives et les autres objets de la mémoire sociale et, enfin, l'étude des utilisateurs des archives. L'auteur fait valoir que la recherche en histoire des archives doit se poursuivre car elle offre la possibilité de contribuer à l'évaluation archivistique et de l'humaniser.
