Talk:National Archives of Australia

message: Is this the place to talk about the Australian Series System, or should it have a page of its own?  I couldn't find it anywhere.  Jonathan O'Donnell 11:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleaned up text 

message: Thanks for working on the article.
we still need to have more information about the archive in its current state.  Can there be more on its function. more on the services it offers, the acts of parliament relevant to its formation and operation, which department does it report to, what is the internal structure, how many staff.  With some more information this could achieve a B rating.  currently it would be a start+. GB 12:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Added a bit more info about the status, structure and budget. Have to be careful not to turn it into an advertisement. :) I think a careful distinction has to be made between National Archives the building and National Archives the institution. It's more than just one historic building in Canberra, which it has only occupied for the last 9 years. Dbromage [Talk] 23:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm going to be working on this page for a Wiki Education project.  I'm finding the entire article to be light on citations.  If all of the basic information is from the website, I think we should cite it as the source.
I'll be looking at this site periodically over the next two months.

message: In 1966, Peter Scott of the Commonwealth Archives Office (predecessor to the National Archives of Australia) developed the Australian Series System in his paper "The Record Group Concept:  A Case for Abandonment"Peter Scott (1966) The Record Group Concept: A Case for Abandonment. The American Archivist: October 1966, Vol. 29, No. 4, pp. 493-504..  This system represented a change in traditional archival theories of provenance that groups records by the more flexible record series rather than the record group which required all records to be filed under only one creating agency (business, government agency, individual, etc.).  The new system recognizes that creating agencies change names, split and dissolve over time and provides a flexible framework to arrange their records across the different agencies which all share the same organizational content.  These record series are relational in that they are linked to their historical creating agencies in their various forms to reflect changes in organizational structure over time..Cook, T. (1997).
