Abstract [sv]

Studien undersökte regleringar som vägleder arkivarier Sverige, vilket omfattade intervjuer med åtta olika arkivarier som arbetar för svenska kommuner, regioner och statliga myndigheter. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkt omfattade Lawrence Lessigs ”pathetic dot theory” med fyra modaliteter (lagar, sociala normer, marknad och arkitektur) som användes vid analysen för att förklara intervjuresultaten. Paralleller drogs mellan tidigare litteratur och resultatet från intervjuerna för att kontextualisera och skapa en bättre förståelse av svaren. Studien visade att det finns annat än lagar och föreskrifter som kan påverka arkivarier vid gallring av allmänna handlingar. Dessa faktorer inkluderade normer och sociala strukturer, samt brist på förståelse för gallringens innebörd och hur det ska utföras. En ytterligare faktor var arkivariens förutsättningar för att använda sin kompetens för att nå ut i verksamheten.

Abstract [en]

This study examined the regulations that guide archivists in appraisal work in Sweden. The study is centred on interviews with eight different archivists working for swedish municipalities, regions, and public authorities. Lawrence Lessigs’ ”pathetic dot theory” with four modularities (the law, social norms, the market and architecture) were used to in the analysis to explain the interview results. Parallels were drawn between previous literature and the result from the interviews to contextualise and create a better understanding of the responses. The study showed that there are several factors other than laws and regulations that can affect archivists in appraisal work of public records. These factors included norms and social structures. Another factor were a simple lack of understanding on the meaning of appraisal and how it should be performed. Yet another factor were inadequacies in archivists’ work conditions which may hinder them to use their expertise in the workplace.
