Summary/Abstract: The paper gives a presentation and analysis of the macro appraisal project, a process used by National Archives of Canada starting from 1990. The project is based on the method of functional appraisal that has emerged in several countries ever since the beginning of the 20th century, but has been given intensive theoretical and practical consideration only since the second half of the eighties. A detailed elaboration of the theoretical terms of macro-appraisal has been given by Terry Cook, archivist of the National Archives of Canada, in his paper "MacroAppraisal: New Theories and Strategies of Acquisition in the National Archives of Canada". The basic methodological process promoted there is to determine the value of the "location" of archives' creation, as well as to determine the circumstances and the function of their creation.
