How has this article influenced you as an archivist?

I located this text during my research on classification, such as archival process, while receiving my doctorate at Salamanca University. I have to say that though have passed forty years  since its publication, it has been one of the most suggestive readings, and best summary of the classification applied to records.

Without doubt, it was a lucky find.

Congratulations to the SAA.
