Det nya arkivet : Attityder och åsikter om det nya arkivredovisningssystemet bland yrkesverksamma arkivarier

Sammanfattning: This Master’s thesis discusses the subject of documenting processes within the archival science, or more accurately the new injunction 2008:4 and the opinions and attitudes Swedish archivists have in regards to it. The national archives of Sweden (Riksarkivet) put out the injunction in 2008 and all the government-owned authorities has to apply it onto their work. They all have to document their activities in processes, rather than conforming them into specific cathegories, like it was before with the previous system (allmänna arkivschemat). For example protocoll, correspondence and so on was used then. My aim has been to talk to the people most affected by this injuntion and get their take on the matter. I have done this through interviews with Swedish archivists, mostly those working within the goventment-owned authorities, such as the Swedish tax agency, board of customs, the national defence, the national insurance office and so on. But I also wanted to know how the archivists looked upon their own professional role, as it is now and has been. But also what may come, what changes they are facing and how they feel towards them. Reflection over the archivists they are and how the field have looked before, how it looks now and might change in the future, what developments may lay ahead.
