[...] en France, les Archives, fidèles en cela à leur origine même de 1789 et de l'an II, ont toujours eu à cœur de rester intimement liées à l'administration vivante. Il n'y a pas de solution de continuité entre fonds «historiques» et fonds «modernes» ou «administratifs»; pas de dépôts différents pour les uns et les autres; pas de règles distinctes applicables aux uns et aux autres. Pour cette raison, le contrôle des «archives en formation» et le pré-archivage sont du ressort des archivistes et le «Records Management» ne constitue pas une discipline autonome : ce n'est qu'une branche de l'archivistique. À ce titre, il est traité dans notre manuel, dans le chapitre consacré aux «archives en formation». 5, record 1, French, - archivistique

Although there had been a chair of archival science at the University of Mainz as early as 1790, modern specialized training of archivists may be said to begin with the establishment in 1821 of the Ecole Nationale des Chartres in Paris, the first of three internationally famous schools. 1, record 6, English, - archival%20science
