Abstract
The Records Continuum model allows the context of records to be examined from a range of views and perspectives. By viewing finding aids as records created by archivists, the Records Continuum model can be used to examine the influences acting on archival finding aids and the archivists creating them. The Diffusion of Innovations model may reveal barriers and motivators for the adoption of new descriptive systems. The Records Continuum model was used together with Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations model to develop a mixed-methods survey and to analyse the results in a study into descriptive practice in New Zealand archival institutions. This paper looks at the effectiveness of the two models for this type of research.
