Abstract:

Over the last few decades, archival education has increasingly been successful in obtaining an autonomous position within the university. In order to strengthen this position there is need for more quality research output, but this should not be left to Faculty: the archival profession as a whole should be research-oriented. The author argues that modern definitions of a professional and modern developments in didactics will enable archival education to deliver modern, professional and research-oriented archivists.
