Abstract

The author, a professor at the University of British Columbia, outlines the foundations of macroappraisal theory within the Canadian federal government’s records acquisition program, placing Terry Cook’s 1992 essay “Mind Over Matter: Towards a New Theory of Archival Appraisal” at the heart of his students’ analysis of theoretical writings. In addition to reflecting on the importance of case studies on the application of macroappraisal theory and methods, he concludes by touching on the applicability of macroappraisal to elements outside the public sphere.
