4. „[…] the fonds has served to codify archival
description as a singular, fixed representation
of a whole and its parts and as a linear, top-
down process, which doesn‘t adequately reflect
or address the complex realities of
recordkeeping.“
(Jennifer Meehan, 2014)
6. ISAD(G): „Fonds“
„The whole of records, regardless of form or
medium, organically created and/or
accumulated and used by a particular person,
family or corporate body in the course of that
creator‘s activities and functions.“
8. „Scott added an important conceptual element
by stressing the power of description, indeed, by
eventually preferring description to
arrangement.“
(Peter Horsman, 2002)
9. Horsman: „Fonds“
„A fonds (F) is any set of relationships (r1, r2,
r3, etc.), where a record (a1, a2, a3, etc.) is an
element in any of the identified (and non-
identified) relationships. Evidently, a record
can be part of two or more relationships, and
two or more fonds.“
(Peter Horsman, 2002)
10. „This is Weinberger‘s ‚third order of order‘, in
which resources can bei arranged into as many
sequences as may be desired and users can
organize their work independently of the
limitations imposed by analog systems.“
(Geoffrey Yeo, 2012)
15. “Rather, an ‚Archives 2.0‘ mode of description
might encompass participatory archives, which
‚posits a more radical user orientation, where
both archivists and users collaborate to build
the archive itself.”
(Jennifer Meehan, 2014; Joy Palmer, 2009)
