EDUCATING FILIPINO ARCHIVISTS AMIDST THE CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY ARCHIVAL PROFESSION
As the archival profession takes off to further assert its importance in the society, it is necessary that would be archivists be equipped with the necessary understanding of the evolving archival landscape, and all other issues that go with it.
Who Controls the Past
A modern, complex, information-rich society requires that archivists reexamine their role as selectors. The changing structure of modern institutions and the use of sophisticated technologies have altered the nature of records, and only a small portion of the vast documentation can be kept. Archivists are challenged to select a lasting record, but they lack techniques to support this decision-making. Documentation strategies are proposed to respond to these problems.
