Three generations of records continuum theory Professor Sue McKemmish, Professor of Archival Systems, Monash University, Australia The presentation will trace the evolution of records continuum theory - its early beginnings in the Archives Division of the National Library of Australia under the first Commonwealth Archivist, Ian Maclean: the formative years spanning the 1970s to 1990s: and the transformative nature of recent continuum research and writing. It will explore the distinguishing features of records continuum theory and major influences shaping records continuum consciousness, with particular reference to the way in which Jenkinson's ideas about the nature of Archives influenced the development of key records continuum concepts.
