Diplomatics was originally developed in France during the
seventeenth century in attempts to prove the authenticity of
archival documents. It was later refined in European universities
as a legal, historical, and philological discipline, and in the
twentieth century it has primarily been applied to medieval and
early modern documents in order to evaluate their authority as
sources of research. Diplomatics embraces the perspective of the
modern archivist, and investigates the origin, development, and
application of diplomatic concepts. It examines the organizational
and evaluative effectiveness of diplomatic concepts in the context
of modern records and archival systems, and looks at the
relationship between originality and authenticity in records. The
physical and intellectual form of records is examined, and the
traditional methodology of diplomatic criticism is clearly
explained and augmented by tips concerning its archival use.
Diplomatics was originally a series of six articles that appeared
in Archivaria, the journal of the Association of Canadian
Archivists. In addition to those six articles, this volume contains
an introduction that provides a broad synopsis of diplomatics,
including its unused potential to help rethink record organization
and use in a multimedia age fraught with increasingly complex
informational problems.
