PUBLICATIONS

My publication record, over the past twenty years, has followed three fundamental threads.

Throughout my career, many of my writings have focused on defining the body of knowledge of records managers/archivists as it should be delivered first to students in academia and later to professionals in some form of continuing education. These writings, on the one hand, investigate the theoretical, methodological and historical content of the records sciences and disciplines (diplomatics, archival science, history of recordkeeping and preservation), and, on the other hand, discuss the interdisciplinary nature of the intellectual armour of records professionals.

Examples of writings belonging to the first thread (i.e. the concepts, principles and methods of our discipline) are:

• six articles on diplomatics published in Archivaria between 1989 and 1992, later collected in the book Diplomatics: New Uses for An Old Science (Chicago, Ill.: SAA, ACA and Scarecrow Press, 1998);
• the Italian book that I felt I owed to my country of origin, I documenti archivistici. La gestione dell'archivio da parte dell'ente produttore [Records: the management of archives by the creator] (Roma: Ministero per i Beni Culturali e Ambientali, 1997);
