Abstract

Purpose: If we want to observe the movement activities growth in the curve of archival progress, it is necessary to identify the factors that control the speed of movement along with uninterrupted continuity of change. Such as redefining the basics, re-reading key concepts, identifying the limitations of existing theories, identifying strengths and many other issues that can make the path easier. The purpose of this article is to inspect the post-custodial issue, which is one of the challenging matter encounters of technological changes.
Method and Research Design: Description and analysis is based on library resources.
Findings and Conclusion: In post-custodial archival theory, organizations need to change their priorities in interacting with their resources. Change and adaptation take place slowly. Changing the paradigm does not mean adapting technology so things can be done a little faster or a little smarter with computers. Undoubtedly such progresses, while as short-term alleviation are useful, are ultimately illusory because they are insufficient to counter fundamental changes in archives in the information society.
