Summary/Abstract: Changing legal regulations, development of new, but disparate tools supporting records management, as well as the growing volume of electronic documentation produced, among other things, have made it necessary for state archives to develop appropriate methods for conducting archival audits. The purpose of this article is to assess the granularity of data regarding electronic records management, including electronic records produced and collected, as reflected in protocols from archival audits. Changes in the scope of logged data will also be addressed. Year 2011 was chosen as the starting point – it marks entry into force of the Prime Minister’s Ordinance of January 18, 2011, which defined the EDM system and regulated the possibility of electronic documentation management in consolidated government administration bodies on the voivodship level, voivodship self-government bodies, county bodies, bodies of municipalities and inter-municipal unions, as well as offices serving such bodies. Year 2019 is not the expiration date for the regulation itself, but due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which arguably changed the landscape of the Polish archival foreground, it was considered an appropriate concluding point for the article.
