- Abstract
- Revised version of a paper presented at the Annual Conference of the Association of Canadian Archivists, Montreal, 12 Sept 92. The challenges raised by electronic records present an opportunity to define the essential purposes for description: to reassess its objectives, agents and timing; and to imagine new approaches that harness the power of information technology while respecting archival principles. Discusses how archival description must support the need to identify, gain access, understand the meaning, interpret the content, determine authenticity, and manage electronic records to ensure continuing access. Proposes management of metadata as an alternative strategy to current descriptive practices
