Records in an archives create a public legacy to hold public official to
account. As records allow powerful figures to be held to account, there can
be a desire to control what is held and accessible in archives. In a crude
sense, there is a danger that archives can be hollowed out. The problem is
more than someone literally removing content from the archives as there are
laws against such behaviour.[1] Instead the issue is how public officials
will influence what is accessed and before it is accessed what is sent to
the archives.
