This essay has its background in the work I?ve been conducting organizing and cataloging two personal archives concerning the life and work of two vicars, Johan Axel Björkman and P.A. Björkman. The time span of the papers stretches from 1823 to 1982.The main problems I?ve been confronted with during this work have to do with respecting provenance and original order. I discuss these principles in relation to the experiences I?ve had with the vicar archives as well as to the special character of personal archives in general. I also discuss the use of Martin Grass? scheme for personal archives.The essay constitutes my one year master?s thesis in archival science.
