The article discusses the development of Records Management. The author draws attention to the significant influence of the interdisciplinary approach on the formation of the object and subject in Records Management. Such a trend in the development of Records Management was laid down by its founder, K.G. Mityaev, and was supported in the works of Russian scholars. Records Management develops in particularly close connection with Archival Studies, Source Studies and other disciplines of the historical cycle, where a record (document) is the object of study. The most significant issue in interdisciplinary research in the range of those disciplines is the classification of documents. A broad approach to the document as an object of research, in the conditions of interdisciplinarity, led to the attempts of expanding the field of research in Records Management by including a book in it and creating a "general theory of the document". Such attempts, made in the 1960s and at the beginning of the 21st century, were unsuccessful. However, the further development of Records Management in the context of interdisciplinarity may pose a threat of blurring the subject field of this scientific discipline. Therefore, at the present stage, Records Management needs to deepen its own specialization.

Landscape studies provide a crucial perspective into the interaction between humans and their environment, shedding insight on social, cultural, and economic topics. The research explores both the way that natural processes have affected the development of culture and society, as well as the ways that natural landscapes themselves are the product of historical and cultural processes. Most previous studies of the landscape selectively focused on either the natural sciences or the social sciences, but the research presented in African Landscapes bridges that gap. This work is unique in its interdisciplinary scope. Over the past twelve years, the contributors to this volume have participated in the collaborative research center ACACIA (Arid Climate Adaptation and Cultural Innovation in Africa), which deals with the relationship between cultural processes and ecological dynamics in Africa's arid areas. The case studies presented here come from mainly Sahara/Sahel and southwestern Africa, and are all linked to broader discussions on the concept of landscape, and themes of cultural, anthropological, geographical, botanical, sociological, and archaeological interest. The contributions in this work are enhanced by full color photographs that put the discussion in context visually.
