The Importance of Context for Digitized Archival Collections Vajcner, Mark. Archival theory and practice have evolved to ensure the evidential value of records. The context of a record is fundamentally important to this process. While the publication of selected archival documents has always posed problems, this is now greatly amplified in the digital age.
