Title

Records classification and functions : an archival perspective

Source

Knowledge organization. 33(2006) no.4, S.188-198

Abstract

The design of records classification systems has been subject to various and often inconsistent approaches. Subject matters, record types and forms, structures and functions of the organization: archivists and records managers (whether consciously or unconsciously) have traditionally referred to any of these elements, or to a mix of some or all of them, when developing their classification tools. Only in recent times has the concept of function become central to the theory, method, and practice of records classification. I discuss advantages and limitations of the functional approach applied to records classification by showing how it has been interpreted in the literature of different countries.
