Acquisitions policy and criteria of appraisal: professional and political aspects
Vladimir Žumer
Abstract
The contribution draws attention to various professional archival principles and criteria for the appraisal, selection and acquisition of archival material aimed at ensuring the preservation of an optimal volume of archival cultural heritage and its acquisition by archives on an appropriate level of objectivity and expertise. Also presented are some examples of the political dimensions of appraisal of archival material which, in the past fifty years, have influenced the acquisition of archival material by archives in many countries, and have thus directly intervened in the integrity of the archival profession and the archival service. This has caused substantial damage to archival cultural heritage
