Australian Series System
In 1966, Peter Scott of the Commonwealth Archives Office (predecessor to the National Archives of Australia) developed what is known as the Australian series system in his paper "The Record Group Concept: A Case for Abandonment". This system advocated for a change in traditional archival theory that would group records by the more flexible record series rather than the record group which required all records to be filed under only one creating agency (business, government agency, individual, etc.). The new system recognizes that creating agencies change names, split and dissolve and provides a flexible framework to arrange their records across the different agencies which all share the same organizational content. These record series are linked to their historical creating agencies to reflect the change in ownership over time. The system is a departure from previous notions of provenance which stated that records must be arranged under their singular creating agency. This relational approach to record keeping created for paper documents presaged electronic record keeping which relies on similar concepts of interrelatedness.

Erin's peer review
Thanks for explaining your edits in class the other day! The citations you have look good, and your restructuring and grammar editing make sense. There's a wikipedia page about the "Australian Series System," so an intertextual link to that might help clarify the article overall. The Australian Series System article is also a stub, so if you need to make more edits on articles that one could be a good candidate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Series_System).
