A social history of archives, as presented in this book, deals with the influence of societal challenges, patterns and norms on archiving practices and vice versa: archiving that conditions or facilitates social practices.
Such a social history of archives is important not only for the user of archives and the archivist, but also for people who design archiving systems and policies and who need to understand the duality of the archive in society. To understand the archive, historians and other users of the archive must ‘understand the conceptual and cultural environment in which their archive resources are created, structured, processed, assessed, discarded and stored’.
