Theory, regulation and practice in Swedish digital Records Appraisal
Records Management Journal, 2019Co-Authors: Elisabeth KlettAbstract:Digital Records Appraisal and aspects of archival values in theory, regularization and practice are explored. This paper aims to reflect upon the Appraisal process, responsibility and norms for value creation in a digitalized environment. The research question was how do Appraisal theory, normative rules and Appraisal practice meet the aims of values in digital archives?,The study triangulated Appraisal theory, normative values and participants’ views about archival values in Appraisal practice in a Swedish setting. Content analysis were used to explore normative documents and interviews. Appraisal theories of the Swedish Nils Nilsson and the Canadian Terry Cook were interpreted. The result was related to theories on public values, the nature of responsibility and relations between the state and citizens.,The results show influences between theory, norms and practice. Changes in norms and practice do not follow the development of digitalization. Responsibility is focused on tasks, which exposes risks of accountability control and knowledge of Appraisal grounds. The paper concludes that access requirements and user needs may prompt change in Appraisal processes. In the light of digitalization, “primary and secondary value” are merely a matter of use and usability in a time and space (continuum) perspective.,This study is based in Sweden where extensive right of access to public Records and default preservation are norm.,The result shows how allocated responsibilities impinge on a re-active digital Appraisal process.

Examining the use of core terms in a Records Appraisal context – two Swedish examples
Tidsskriftet Arkiv, 2018Co-Authors: Elisabeth KlettAbstract:Records Appraisal in the digital environment becomes a multi-professional enterprise, undertaken in the line of business, in which non-archivists play a vital role, but Appraisal practices are not adjusted to this electronic reality. One aspect of this problem is the use and understanding of terminology. This paper presents a study on the usage of Records-related terms in steering documents that affect Records Appraisal in Sweden. It uses a structured model for the analysis of steering documents. Used data sources are authoritative term databases and terminology report and steering documents from the three levels of regulations, i.e. Legislation and Regulations, Policy decisions and Instructions and Retention decisions steering documents from the Swedish National Archives and Stockholm City Archives, both archival authorities within their jurisdictions. The steering documents represents levels of hierarchical impact and are the foundations upon which Appraisal is done and effectuated. Analysis of term frequency show change in vocabulary at level of hierarchy as well as development in time. Analysis of focus, characteristics and common features in definitions of terms show a variety of possible interpretations of the included terms, a result that affects Appraisal and underpins a need for common corporate understanding in areas with multi-professional influences. The paper concludes that legal terms have impact on term use at regulation level, which lessens at lower levels, where vocabulary broadens. Difference is found between the two archival institutions studied, especially at decision level. Analysis of focus, characteristics and common features in definitions of terms show a variety of possible interpretations of the included terms, a result that affects Appraisal and underpins a need for common corporate understanding in areas with multi-professional influences. An action suggested to mitigate risk is to form Communities of Practice for the task of Records Appraisal. One part of the task for these communities should be to agree upon shared concepts on used terminology that support electronic Records Appraisal. This would be a step where everyone involved develop a solid ground for the setting of the scope of Appraisal. The idea of introducing Communities of Practice for the Records and archives Appraisal task is wider than the subject of this article, and should be further developed.

Sunbird: Journal of the Queensland Ornithological Society, 2001Co-Authors: Stuart Pell, Ian GyntherAbstract:This is the second report of the Queensland Ornithological Society Inc. Records Appraisal Committee (QOSI RAC), whose major function is to appraise reported sightings of rare or vagrant species in Queensland, or of any species new to the State. Details of the objectives and mechanisms of the QOSI RAC are given in the first report of this series (Gynther and Pell 1999). The present report updates details of Committee membership and of the 'List of Rare Queensland Birds', and summarises the results of the Committee's considerations of submissions received during the two-year period 1998 - 1999.

Report of the Queensland Ornithological Society Inc. Records Appraisal committee, 1995-1997
Sunbird: Journal of the Queensland Ornithological Society, 1999Co-Authors: Ian Gynther, Stuart PellAbstract:This is the first report of the Queensland Ornithological Society Inc. Records Appraisal Committee ( QOSI RAC), a body established early in 1995 to appraise claims of rare, vagrant or unusual Queensland bird sightings that have been published, or are being considered for publication, in the Society's monthly Newsletter or journal, Sunbird. The formation of a sightings Appraisal body and the establishment of formalised Appraisal procedures within QOSI were sparked by the need to ensure the Society publishes accurate sighting information, in view of the fact that our Records were increasingly being cited in scientific literature elsewhere. Hand in hand with these steps was the creation of a Records Officer position on QOSI's Management Committee. This report briefly outlines the membership, functions and mechanisms of QOSI RAC and summarises the results of the Committee's deliberations on submissions received during the period 1995 to 1997.

Systems of Appraisal for the management of research Records – content, value and contingency
Records Management Journal, 2000Co-Authors: James WhitmanAbstract:One of the key issues that affects practitioners is the question of selection and the relationship this bears to Records content and an evaluation of the long term value of collections of Records. Appraisal has been the means developed by Records management and archives to deal with this problem. In this respect, the aim of this paper has been to describe those theories of Appraisal that are currently most influential in highlighting the choices and pathways that each present to those actively engaged in research, or in designing recordkeeping systems to manage research Records. The conclusion is that the claims to singularity and independence that these perspectives represent will not be maintained during the course of dealing with the complex contingencies encountered when managing real recordkeeping systems. The alternative is to evaluate the strengths and difficulties that each represents and on this basis, develop Appraisal strategies that most effectively meet the requirements of the wide range of interests likely to be involved.
