This article, derived from the research “Towards a reconfiguration of the records appraisal process in Colombia, based on theoretical currents and archival regulations (1960-2020)”, analyzes the influences of the archival theoretical approaches theory of value, documentation plan, and macro-appraisal in the guidelines and appraisal methodology in the country since the General Archive of the Nation creation in 1989 until the last regulation issued in 2019. The methodology used was documentary research, which included the review of authors related to these three theoretical approaches in addition to the Colombian archival regulations related to appraisal. We conclude that Colombian regulations have been mainly influenced by the theory of value; although they also incorporate elements of the other two approaches in documentary heritage configuration.

Keywords : Records Appraisal; Theory of Value; Documentation Plan; Macro-Appraisal.
