• ARCHIVES - FONDS (fonds.tba)

  • FONDS: GENERAL

    Fonds: The whole of the records, regardless of form or medium, automatically and organically created and/or accumulated and used by a particular individual, family or corporate entity in the course of that creator’s activities and functions

    The originators of the fonds of  Louisbourg were varied, but with few notable exceptions, each entity was a distinct operational section or unit of the Fortress of Louisbourg. Accordingly, with respect to the Archives, wherever possible, it has preserved the resulting natural provenance, based on the originator and original file order, thus maintaining the integrity, through a respect des fonds, of each record, or body of records, as a distinct item from other acquired materials.

    Of course, in a broad corporate sense, by ignoring specific organizational activities, a useful, general description of fonds can result:

    FORTRESS OF LOUISBOURG:
    SECTIONAL/UNIT FONDS

    Clearly, a general fonds description is useful to researchers wishing to understand the total holdings of the Fortress of Louisbourg, but to serve as a gateway to the records themselves, whether paper or electronic, it falls short. Consequently, there has been devised a Louisbourg Group identifier system, where each organic group contains, among other descriptions, collections, and natural fonds defined by operational provenance (based on originator, related activity,  and original order of records).

    As of this date, some Louisbourg Groups receive depositions on a regular basis, some only from time to time, and others not at all. Whatever the case, the framework is there, prepared, and ready to receive depositions.
