Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the conceptualization of archival provenance and the related concepts of archival fonds and original order and the ways these concepts have guided practice. Section 1 identifies problems entailed by the qualitative and imprecise conceptual approach traditionally applied to the issues involved in the management, use, and preservation of records, and suggests a multidisciplinary strategy to reformulate basic concepts. Section 2 describes problems arising from the traditional approach in greater detail. Section 3 indicates how a multidisciplinary strategy might be applied to both clarify theory and improve practice.
