working criteria, to respond to these tasks and to concerns which match the
general objectives of UNESCO, especially as laid down in its ramp programme,
the 22nd International Archival Round Table Conference
recommends to archive administrations that they should improve their con
tacts with administrators, at the several levels of government, so as to facilita
te their own work, by organizing conferences and seminars, and by produ
cing, so far as is possible, practical manuals, to ensure both the most effective
management of current records and the harmonization of the respective func
tions of records creating bodies and archives through out the life cycle of con
temporary records;
draws the attention of archive administrations and professional associations
of archivists to the interest which International Archives Weeks might take in
choosing the theme of this Conference, as a means of interesting administra
tors and the general public in the problems posed by the proliferation of re
cords;
expresses the wish that the programme of the forthcoming Round Table Con
ferences should include a study of the significance and consequences of the in
troduction and extension of modern technology, especially automation,
miniaturisation and audiovisual means, in the field of records creation and
control;
recommends to the Executive Committee of ica that it should include in its
Medium Term Plan a study on the development and use of new types of sim
plified finding aids to contemporary records, prepared in collaboration with
the transferring agencies, and to undertake a survey to test the application of
different methods of sampling and the use of samples by researchers, with spe
cial reference to the criteria put forward in the ramp study on 'The use of
sampling techniques in the retention of records' and in the corresponding
chapter of the Report of the 22nd citra;
notes with satisfaction the ongoing preparations for the 'European Conferen
ce on the Creation and Organisation of Contemporary Records', to be held in
Budapest in 1985, which will folow up and extend the scope of the work begun
by the 22nd citra;
expresses the wish that the problem of managing current records should be as
signed priority in the general working programme of the International Coun
cil on Archives and its regional branches;
thanks the authorities of the Slovak Socialist Republic and the Archives Ad

ren van de kantongerechten mogelijk te ma
ken, is er voor gekozen om in elk ressort het
archief van een kantongerecht in zijn geheel te
bewaren. Deze kantongerechten zijn die te
Heerenveen, Harderwijk, Hoorn, Zierikzee en
Boxmeer. Ook dienen de archiefbescheiden van
zaken betrekking hebbende op deze kantonge
rechten, welke elders zijn gearchiveerd, blij
vend te worden bewaard. Uit de overige kan
tongerechtsarchieven dienen de kerngegevens
bewaard te blijven', aldus een circulaire van de
