Course content
This course gives a thorough understanding of the archives and records management discipline and the discipline's theory of science in a social science context, in international and Norwegian research traditions. Specifically, attention is directed towards the development of modern records management from the last half of the 20th Century until today. How we think of records has changed with the development of the welfare society, and the digitalization of public and private sector. At the same time has changes in the general theory of science and the scientific understanding affected archives and records management. The aim of this course s to highlight and discuss the different traditions within archival science. Central questions related to the development and exchange between countries and regions in terms of how we understand this area, and how and why this area can be understood in different ways. One important question that also is an important part of current research, is what defines the transfer from a "passive" record keeping approach to an "active" approach to records management.
