Records in an archives create a public legacy to hold public official to
account. As records allow powerful figures to be held to account, there
can be a desire to control what is held and accessible in archives. In a
crude sense, there is a danger that archives can be hollowed out. The
problem is more than someone literally removing content from the
archives as there are laws against such behaviour.[1]
Instead the issue is how public officials will influence what is
accessed and before it is accessed what is sent to the archives.
