Abstract
The article considers the issues of defining the boundaries of the disciplines of the records management and archival science in the framework of modern practice and theory.
These disciplines have traditionally developed in parallel and in each of them a certain approach to working with the document was formed . In the first, the main attention is paid to the documents formed in the course of management activities, primarily organizational and administrative. The second discipline includes in its circle of interests all types of documents that are deposited in archives, including private documents. Such inconsistency leads, among other things, to legal consequences when a “document” registered in the archive does not have the necessary details from the point of view of the records management to be considered as a document.
In fact, archivists, accepting documents to the archive that were not created according the documenting rules, assign them the necessary details and the status of the document. Also, the connection occurs at the stage of preventive value appraisal, when archivists create lists of documents with indication of retention period.
In the article, based on the analysis of the subject area, it is proposed to combine the two disciplines in a normative and methodological plan in order to close the existing gaps.
