- Cunningham, Adrian, 'Dynamic Descriptions: Australian Strategies for the Intellectual Control of Records and Recordkeeping Systems' in Recordkeeping: Control and Retrieval, National Archives of Australia, National Archives of Australia, 1998, (External Link no longer available). This paper gives an overview of Australian approaches to the intellectual control of records. It begins with an examination of the work of Peter Scott and the development of the so-called ‘series system’. The paper then summarises more recent developments in Australian thinking, including the emergence of recordkeeping continuum theory and related post-custodial thinking, both of which can be seen as developments of Scott’s theories to meet the imperatives of the electronic age.
