O źródłach inspiracji archiwistyką w książce, która nie stała się podręcznikiem. Refleksje na marginesie publikacji W. Chorążyczewskiego Zachęta do archiwistyki, Wydawnictwo Naukowe UMK, Toruń 2022, ss. 360

Abstract

The reviewed paper is a unique position in the literary works of the Polish archives of the last three decades, since it presents the three perspectives of the archival field: its theoretical basis, standpoint of the archival practice, and praise of amateurishness as an inducement to undertake any archival activities. Not only did the author discuss the current achievements of the archival science and explain its scientific character, scope, internal division and terminology used by the archivists, but he also presented an innovative concept, a reflection on seeking new ideas in the archival science and their practical applications, as befits a monograph. In the book, this pioneering role is played by the passages concerning the redefinition and restoration of the process model of forming archival collection, as well as theory of collections, the essence of which is the principle of respecting the entirety, created naturally by creators, systemically separated from each other, which comprises not only archives, but also library and museum objects
