Description
Summary:Today, in Canada as elsewhere, ‘archival work’ has become a profession and a recognised discipline in universities, research services and society in general. To understand this evolution we have only to consider the profusion of papers―monographs, articles in professional and scientific reviews, research papers (reports and theses written by students)―and for academic events of all kinds (congresses, colloquiums, conferences and workshops) which affect local, national and international archival communities. All this is taking place in a context where the present and future of archival disciplines, both nationally and internationally, are strongly affected by the tidal wave of digitisation which is transforming, and will continue to transform everyday life in society. If we were asked to identify the most important element in the recent developments witnessed by archival disciplines and which will mark the future of these disciplines, information technologies and their impact on information management would undoubtedly be the reply.
