In North America, however, its relevance is still under scrutiny. This\r\nthesis employs diplomatic analysis to test its validity when applied to modern documents and\r\nprocedures.\r\nTo investigate the significance of diplomatic methodology and analysis, this thesis first\r\ndiscusses the recent history and structure of the British Columbia court system. It then examines\r\na selection of case files from the civil, probate and bankruptcy registries, and it assigns the\r\ndocuments within to one of the six phases of a procedure: initiative, inquiry, consultation,\r\ndeliberation, deliberation control, and execution.\r\nThe study concludes by discussing the diplomatic character of the procedures and its\r\nimportance in the understanding of modern records. More specifically, it outlines how\r\ndiplomatics and procedural analysis can assist records professionals in the development of\r\nclassification systems and retention and disposition schedules; the design of automated records\r\nmanagement systems; and archival appraisal, arrangement and description.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"4487208 bytes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"application\/pdf","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
