Abstract
The ideas and arguments attributed to David Bearman over the last decade have triggered unparalleled controversy and debate among archivists around the world. In Archival Methods, Bearman initially de-constructed traditional archival endeavor in search of its true mission and functionality. Then, in association with a small circle of multinational colleagues, he evolved his findings into Archival Strategies, a new, proactive regimen of purpose and activities which he believes will transform and revitalize the archival profession. This paper discusses Bearman's role and contributions as an innovator, and comments on a selection of the ideas and activities proposed, with reference to recent studies of innovation diffusion.
