23. Goelema, "De Handleiding, " p. 67, assumes that Van Riemsdijk proposed this section. It replaced a more detailed section in the first draft, submitted to De Stuers by his staff, which had borrowed the prescription of the "respect des fonds" from the Belgian regulations of 1851, which had, in turn, been copied from the French circular of 1841 (see Brichford, "The Origins, " p. 89).

Thirty years ago one of the leading Dutch archival theorists Panhuysen summoned Dutch archivists to study earnestly the history of record-creating institutions: "We have to know exactly with the fullest detail, how these modern government agencies create records and which records they produce. We have also to know how the interrelation of the competences of these agencies is, because that determines essentially the content and the value of the records they create.
