摘要

希拉里·詹金森爵士的经典著作《档案管理手册》于1922年出版,为许多国家特别是英属殖民地的档案管理提供了理论和实践基础。在他的经典中,詹金森要求档案保管员评估他们选择永久保存记录的方式。本文拟以南非为例,探讨现代档案的选择与销毁的规范。提出了一种基于“审计或资金追踪”的评估记录的补充方法,南非审计长对南非军备公司等公共实体的审计报告最好地说明了这一点。本文认为,与既定的记录选择的正统观念相反,财务审计追踪提供了哪些历史记录应该被搁置和保留的最可靠的线索。这组作者指出了这种“跟着钱走”方法的局限性,并提供了缓解建议。本文挑战了现有的评估范式,并有可能影响发展中国家和发达国家的评估政策、理论和实践。它还提供了希拉里詹金森爵士在其开创性经典中所阐述的思想的现代翻新延续和扩展。

Confronting Jenkinson’s canon: reimagining the ‘destruction and selection of modern archives’ through the Auditor-General of South Africa’s financial audit trail
ABSTRACT The canonical work of Sir Hilary Jenkinson, Manual of Archive Administration, published in 1922, provided the basis of archival theory and practice in many countries, especially British colonies. In his canon, Jenkinson requested the archivists to evaluate the manner in which they select records for permanent preservation. With examples from South Africa, this paper intends to confront the canon about the selection and destruction of modern archives. A complementary method of appraising records based on an ‘audit or money trail,’ as best illustrated through the Auditor-General of South Africa’s audit reports of public entities such as the Armaments Corporation of South Africa, is proposed. This paper ruffles feathers and argues that contrary to established orthodoxies of records selection, financial audit trails provide the most reliable clues of which and what historical records ought to be set aside and preserved. The authors cite the limits of this ‘follow the money’ method and provide mitigation suggestions. The paper challenges existing appraisal paradigms and has a potential to influence policy, theory and practice of appraisal in developing and developed countries. It also offers a modern-day refurbished continuation and expansion of the ideas addressed by Sir Hilary Jenkinson in his seminal canon.
