Jill Lepore has an article in the New Yorker on the Trump administration and official records. It's pretty good. For a while I was responsible for records management in ASCS. This was pre-PC. In those days "records management" was a component of "paperwork management", which also included "directives" and "forms".
Back then paperwork management had become rather formal, partially perhaps because of the Billie Sol Estes case. But since then technology seems to have disrupted everything; at least it was well on the way to doing so when I retired.
