"In the last decade of the twentieth century recordkeeping professions (archivists, records and information managers) began to re-invent themselves, largely, but not exclusively, in response to the change from paper-based to electronic recordkeeping systems."(1)

"This is evidenced by the changing language of the recordkeeping professions, the recognition of related interdisciplinary research and knowledge, and the re-evaluation of recordkeeping theories and practices."(2)

"However the process of re-invention is a continuous one and many recordkeeping concepts are being further refined as a result of the impact of the internet and other communication technologies".(3)
