Motivations for personal recordkeeping practices
Why do individuals create and keep records? Little research has been done into the factors that motivate individuals to make records. This article uses the example of the personal records created by Bangladeshi rural women who participated in a development project to investigate the roles that personal choices and external influences play in the development of recordkeeping practices. By conducting interviews with participants after the end of th…
Clashes of cultures in an international aid organisation
International non‐governmental organisations (INGOs) bring together actors from three very different backgrounds: international aid workers, national aid workers generally from the urban middle classes and disadvantaged communities. However, the ways national aid workers negotiate their cultural encounters and use accountability tools and information systems have not been the objects of much research. In this article, we analyse how the Banglades…
Scholarly and professional communication in archives
The differences between archival traditions have hindered communication between archival practitioners and scholars from different countries and traditions and have impacted on the success of international recordkeeping projects.Some of the concepts that underpin the current archival literature in English are difficult to translate, one of the reasons being that many other languages do not have a word for the concept of 'records'.Even within the …

Continuum, continuity, continuum actions
The end of archival ideas
In May 2019, a well-known archival commentator posted on Twitter a message that questioned how it was possible that a ‘dude’ that they did not know could suggest that we had come to ‘the end of arc
Re-designing the Archive
As I am writing from Melbourne under stage 4 restrictions, we are facing a world full of uncertainties. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live and the way we work. It has been difficult
The societal embeddedness of records
The Continuum concept of pluralisation is often misunderstood. This paper aims to explain how records are embedded in the society that created them from the time of their creation and how they can be further embedded throughout their lifespan by adding metadata to them, placing them in context, making them accessible to those who will need them in the future and potentially sharing them with the broader society according to societal rules. The au…

Archives in a changing climate
The International Conference on the History of Records and Archives (I-CHORA) has been held since 2003 as a periodic conference aimed at encouraging and promoting interdisciplinary research into the history of records, recordkeeping practices and recordkeeping institutions. Conferences to date have taken place in Toronto (2003), Amsterdam (2005 and xi-v). The eighth iteration, I-CHORA 8, was held at Monash University in Melbourne on 28-30 May 201…
The flexibility of the records continuum model
In an article entitled “In the shadow of the continuum: testing the records continuum model through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ‘Migrated Archives’” published in Archival Science in 2018, Michael Karabinos argued that the Records Continuum Model cannot be applied if the records under scrutiny have not been pluralised and that openness and accessibility are keys to the functionality of the model. He proposed a “shadow continuum” to analyse…
The Islamic Debate about Land Reform in the Iranian Parliament, 1981-86
L'A. examine une question peu analysee jusqu'a present de l'histoire de la revolution islamique en Iran : les debats sur la reforme fonciere dans le cadre de l'Assemblee consultative islamique (Majles) entre 1981 et 1986. Mettant en evidence les difficultes de la fraction radicale-reformiste face aux conservateurs pour trouver une justification dans les sources et la jurisprudence du droit islamique a une reforme en profondeur, notamment en ce qu…
