document: The archival imagination of David Bearman , revisited Many archivists regard the archival imagination evidenced in the writings of David Bearman as avant-garde . Archivist L. Henry -LRB- 1998 -RRB- has sharply criticized Bearman for being irreverent toward the archival theory and practice outlined by classical American archivist T. R. Schellenberg . Although Bearman is sometimes credited -LRB- and sometimes berated -RRB- for establishing `` a new paradigm '' centered on the archival management of electronic records , his methods and strategies are intended to encompass all forms of record keeping . The article provides general observations on Bearman 's archival imagination , lists some of its components , and addresses elements of Henry 's critique . Although the long lasting impact of Bearman 's imagination upon the archival profession might be questioned , it nonetheless deserves continued consideration by archivists and inclusion as a component of graduate archival education
