Critiques of original order

[edit]

I'd like to expand the section on critiques of original order. I'd like to flesh out the arguments made by Frank Boles here: https://americanarchivist.org/doi/pdf/10.17723/aarc.45.1.94g0502t2g81053g. And add a more contemporary argument from Jennifer Meehan, which focuses on personal papers: https://archivaria.ca/archivar/index.php/archivaria/article/view/13294 As well as this argument that looks at the relationship between digitization and original order here: https://archivaria.ca/index.php/archivaria/article/view/13410

I could put the arguments about original order in various contexts under subheds to make it a little easier to follow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessica.jeffers84 (talkcontribs) 00:46, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Order of sections

[edit]

I think it makes a little bit more sense to put the description of principles first, followed by history and then critiques.

In terms of describing the principle of original order, I think I'd like to include a little bit of information about what it's not. Built around what is written by the Society of American Archivists,[1] I think it will be helpful to note that original order focuses on the order at creation as opposed to the order at acquisition, which may be different. I think a brief, simple description of provenance to explain how it's related but different might be helpful. Not a long, drawn-out description, just a sentence or two.
