| The University of British Columbia's work emphasizes the reliability and authenticity of electronic records, using diplomatics as a basis. I attended excellent lectures and seminars on medicval history by Karl Hampe and by Friedrich Baethgen from whom I learned much about medieval rhetoric (ars dictandi) and about diplomatics, chronology and other auxiliary disciplines which were to be very important for my later work. While the description of this project seems highly theoretical, advocates for such work argue that it is the diplomatics approach that provides the soundest means by which to manage electronic records over the long term since it is based on centuries of prior experience in working with records rather than the shifting sand of information technologies that are here today, gone tomorrow. |
