Abstract

In the article, the author writes about the connection between archives and the theory of McDonaldization. The goal of the presented paper is to show, how, in general, archives can be described from the sociological perspective. That's why the author was trying to bring closer mentioned theory and show the examples of archival reality connected to it. The paper is based on literature that's why the research methodology was based on bibliographic and comparative methods. During the research, the author finds many areas like new technologies or multilevel description, which can be connected to the McDonaldization. The future scope is to make case studies about archives in different countries, to prove and widen the theory.
