Abstract
This article investigates the notion of provenance, questioning traditional conceptions of the archival fonds that link this collective to limited relationships, including that of the individual, family, or organization. Drawing from work that embraces the notion of expanded views of provenance, the paper explores the theoretical and practical implications of tying the contextual boundaries of the archive to functions and activities connected to and serving as evidence of domestic spatial configurations and relationships. In doing so, the article adds to a body of work that queries key concepts used as part of systems of archival control, highlighting new conceptual and theoretical interpretations that bring dynamism, creativity, and flexibility to archival operations as they exist in analog and digital spaces.
期刊介绍:
Archival Science promotes the development of archival science as an autonomous scientific discipline. The journal covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practice. Moreover, it investigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and data. It also seeks to promote the exchange and comparison of concepts, views and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the world.Archival Science''s approach is integrated, interdisciplinary, and intercultural. Its scope encompasses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context. To meet its objectives, the journal draws from scientific disciplines that deal with the function of records and the way they are created, preserved, and retrieved; the context in which information is generated, managed, and used; and the social and cultural environment of records creation at different times and places.Covers all aspects of archival science theory, methodology, and practiceInvestigates different cultural approaches to creation, management and provision of access to archives, records, and dataPromotes the exchange and comparison of concepts, views, and attitudes related to recordkeeping issues around the worldAddresses the entire field of recorded process-related information, analyzed in terms of form, structure, and context
