Features: This book discusses the development trajectory and patterns of the two major pillars of Western archival theory—the Principle of Provenance and the Theory of the Records Life Cycle. By tracing the journey of the Principle of Provenance from formation, facing challenges, to being "rediscovered," and the evolution of the Theory of the Records Life Cycle from emergence, prevalence, to "smiling in the face of challenges," it delves into the macro differences and deep connections between the two theories. It systematically summarizes the development patterns of the two theories and their profound implications for the archival profession, providing a reasonable forecast of the future trends in archival theory.
