A version of this paper was presented as "Whose Memory? In Whose Custody? Archival Management in the Twenty-First Century" at the Association of Canadian Archivists Conference, Ottawa, Ontario, 8 June 1997. Much of the historical information in this paper is based on the author's doctoral dissertation, "The End of Total Archives: An Analysis Of Changing Acquisition Practices in Canadian Archival Repositories" (Ph.D. Dissertation, University College London, 1996). The reader is directed to that source for further details of discussions about the history of archival management in Canada. The author is grateful for the guidance and support of a number of colleagues, in particular D. Richard Valpy, who took the time to offer valuable comments on several drafts of this article, and Terry Cook, who has provided a detailed and insightful critique of this article and the thesis from which it is drawn.

The United States government was forced in November and December 1995 to close a range of federal operations temporarily, as the President and Congress debated the government's right to exceed budget allocations. In France, a series of public-sector strikes were held in November and December 1995 to protest government cuts to social service programmes, which the government claimed were essential to allow the country to gain the financial stability necessary to participate in the move toward a single European currency.

Freedom of Information and Privacy (Part I)
-
note
-
Of course, the issue of access to information was not uniquely Canadian. The 1970s saw the proliferation of privacy and information legislation throughout the western world, including Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Denmark. These legislative initiatives are described in J. Knoppers, "Freedom of Information and Privacy (Part I), " ARMA Quarterly 14, no. 4 (October 1980), pp. 28-35, 55-56, and (Part II), ARMA Quarterly 15, no. 2 (April 1981), pp. 18-32. For the purposes of this discussion, "access to information" shall be interpreted to mean both "access to information" and "protection of privacy, " unless otherwise noted. It is also important to note that, in this discussion, the protection of personal information is distinguished from other privacy issues, such as protection against media intrusion, physical searches, and so on.

The Public Servant and the Right to Privacy
-
note

For example, British Columbia established a privacy act in 1968 and Manitoba one in 1970, but these acts referred not to information privacy but to other aspects of personal privacy. For a contemporary perspective, see J.M. Sharp, "The Public Servant and the Right to Privacy, " Canadian Public Administration 14, no. 1 (Spring 1971), p. 59.

The argument is not found just in Canada. An American archivist, John Roberts, in his rebuttal of Eastwood's ACA paper presenting a definition of records, has offered a forthright criticism of Eastwood's theoretical vision. He has claimed that Eastwood's five properties of archives are simply "an elaborate restatement of a single concept: provenance. " Roberts has suggested that "archival theory-when it goes beyond a point of diminishing returns-is inflated, pretentious, and virtually useless. " He has claimed that the urge for a theory came directly out of the profession's need for "standards and recognition" and its effort "to establish independence and status for the archival profession and a struggle to determine what groups will dominate the profession. " "Theory, " he has noted, "as a tool to achieve professional status, can be tied to very self-interested goals. " J.W. Roberts, "Practice Makes Perfect, Theory Makes Theorists, " paper presented at the Annual Conference of the Association of Canadian Archivists, St. John's, Newfoundland, July 1993, pp. 1, 3, 14-15.
