Abstract Knowledge of diplomatic and the application of its techniques continue to underpin the analysis of current records and record-keeping systems. This article explores the development of approaches to diplomatic from before the publication of Mabillon's De re diplomatica in 1681 to its resurrection as an analytical tool at the end of the twentieth century, and considers its relevance for an electronic record-keeping environment.
