Kent M. Haworth (1946–2003) was a Canadian archivist, best known for his pioneering role in the creation of archival descriptive standards in Canada.
In 1972 Haworth was hired at the Provincial Archives of British Columbia where he worked in the Manuscripts Division.
Haworth was part of the Planning Committee on Descriptive Standards established by the Bureau of Canadian Archivists in 1987 and later served as chair from 1989 to 1996.
[4] In addition to writing the standard, he also advocated the establishment of a national grant program (now defunct), the Canadian Council of Archives' Canadian Archival Information Network (CAIN) to support the creation and maintenance of online descriptive databases managed at the provincial level.
He later served as Project Director and Secretary of this body, and worked to revise ISSAR (CPF).
