In recent decades, records management has undergone profound changes due to technological developments as well as political and organisational changes. The global view shows considerable diversity, not only between legal and administrative systems based on common law, such as those in the UK, North America and Australia, but also between systems operating under civil law. Sweden represents a special case of a civil law system, the so-called Nordic model. The purpose of this study, based on three case studies, is to analyse the recordkeeping functions in contemporary government agencies in Sweden, their responsibilities, competences and the role they play. Study findings show that most of the functions defined in international standards are implemented by Swedish government agencies, but at different levels and with different outcomes. Furthermore, there are significant differences between them, which may stem from intraorganisational arrangements. The actual work tasks focus on implementing the strategic activities of recordkeeping, providing support in upgrading skills and acquiring new knowledge, while the more routine tasks are deprioritized.
