Dissertation highlights the significant role of these countries in development and implementation of archival standards as initiated by the International Council on Archives and other international organizations that have created the design and specification of Canadian and Australian rules archival inventory. The historical specifics of these countries are associated with complex processes of immigration and coexistence of different cultures, including indigenous peoples. Multiculturalism has identified a specific structure of archival discipline, composition and content of archival documents, and domination and ethnographic genealogic information as a meaningful component of the overall resources. These countries have made significant achievements in formation, organization and access to digital resources, enterprise technology, thus allowing integration of the resources of different origins, including public records and documents as well as resources of historical and cultural heritage.
