This paper researches how archivists play a role in modern times, learning from Terry Cook’s paper, Evidence, memory, identity, and community: four shifting archival paradigms, published in archival science vol.13 in 2013. He says that the role of archivist has changed from a passive curator to an active appraiser to a societal mediator and fi nally to a community facilitator. We oversee the development of the archivists’ role in Japan from the 1950s to 2000s. From this insight, We point out that because there was little understanding of the role of the archivist in japan and also professional associations, like The Japan Society of Archives Institutions, need to research and establish an educational program and qualifi cations system, there are few arguments about the role and mission of the archivist. In Australia, accountability crisis emerged from government and corporate mismanagement and corruption in the 1980s. These reviews explored that poor records management make it diffi cult to disclose affairs entirely. This caused the archivists to reinvent their roles, from guardian of historical resources to auditor and standards setter in the records management area. We consider the role of the archivist in Records Continuum theory. We point out that archivists should become facilitators and watchdogs for recordkeeping systems to make records and refl ect social interests and values in archives.
