The Theoretical Principles of the Appraisal of Documents: Traditions and Modern Trends (Foreign Experience)

The main traditions and newest tendencies of foreign archival experience of appraisal of documents are highlighted. On the example of North American (USA, Canada) and European (United Kingdom, Federal Republic of Germany) practices, two opposite approaches to the appraisal were highlighted, the evolution of the criteria system, the formation of the theory and methodology of the procedure were revealed. The relationship between the scientifi c paradigm of archival science, humanities and the appraisal of documents has been demonstrated. Emphasis is placed on the social dimension of assessing of their importance. The diffi culties of appraisal of documents under the conditions of continuous growth of volumes of information flows and the newest format of existence of information were noted. References: 1.
