Reimagining Record Groups: A Case Study And Considerations For Record Group Revision, Matt Gorzalski
Reimagining Record Groups: A Case Study And Considerations For Record Group Revision, Matt Gorzalski
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The record group hierarchy at Southern Illinois University Carbondale reflects many of the problems noted by record group critics, and has evolved into a burdensome structure. This article describes how previous considerations about creating record groups have influenced revisions of the record group hierarchy at SIUC. The author does not advocate wholesale revision of a hierarchy, but only in areas where the end result creates a sensible and manageable classification system.
