Description
/li>
The identification of recorded information with continuing value
that documents corporate and cultural memory is one of the archivist’s
primary tasks, and he/she accomplishes this mission, in part, through the
process of appraisal. But does traditional archival appraisal, based on
the concepts of primary and evidential values, effectively serve the needs
of institutional archivists and records managers? In an age of scarcity
and the challenge of electronic records, can archivists and records
managers continue to rely upon a methodology essentially unchanged since
the early 1950s?
Using Functional Analysis in Archival Appraisal: A Practical and Effective Alternative to Traditional Appraisal Methodologies shows how archivists in other countries are already using functional analysis, which offers a better, more effective, and imminently more practical alternative to traditional appraisal methodologies that rely upon an analysis of the records themselves.
