Extending Archives: Folklife, Social History, And The Work Of R. Henderson Shuffler, Matthew S. Darby
Extending Archives: Folklife, Social History, And The Work Of R. Henderson Shuffler, Matthew S. Darby
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
R. Henderson Shuffier set the historical record straight. Throughout his career, this self-proclaimed "myth-killer"' urged Texans, and anyone else who would listen, to reconsider what it meant to be Texan and how to study Texas history. As curator of the University of Texas's Texana Program and later as the first director of the Institute ofTexan Cultures in San Antonio, Shuffier expanded the traditional scope of Texas history beyond political, economic, and military achievements and presented a more complete, unbiased picture of the state's heritage that included groups previously underrepresented in historical and public discourse. At a time when academia was …

Expanding The Community Connection In Minnesota, Mark A. Greene
Expanding The Community Connection In Minnesota, Mark A. Greene
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
A full thirty years ago Rudy Vecoli, director of the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota, reminded archivists that "the portrayal of diversity has been an ideal to which we have paid lip service rather than a task to which we have addressed ourselves." Gradually, lip service paid to diversity within archival and museum organizations-whether it be a diverse staff or diverse collections or diverse exhibits-is giving way to sustained and effective action. There is a large measure of enlightened self-interest driving this action; even for the relatively homogenous populations in the states of the upper Midwest, …

The Evolution Of The Cooperative Historically Black College And University Archival Survey Project (Chasp), Taronda Spencer
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
In 1987 Robert Smith, then director of Library and Media Services for the Highland Park (MI) School District, created an audiovisual presentation on the history of African American education for the training academy of the National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE). Moved by the presentation, many of the academy participants encouraged Smith to expand it into a documentary film. A year later Smith, intrigued by the idea and armed with a $5000 planning grant from the National Alliance, began research to determine the feasibility of such a venture. He discovered in the process that much of the material needed …

Too often the pressure of the present day work environment lures archivists into ignoring their professional past or advancing shortsightedly into the future. To encourage such reflection on the archival enterprise, Provenance includes this section, Fresh Focus. We invite contributors to explore neglected chapters in archival history or to share an original, especially historical, perspective on the current world of archival affairs. Provenance particularly encourages submissions for Fresh Focus from new or student archivists who are, after all, the future of the profession. Foil owing is the third in a series of occasional essays or papers meeting these criteria.
Preserving The History Of Boston's Diversity, Nancy Richard, Joan D. Krizack
Preserving The History Of Boston's Diversity, Nancy Richard, Joan D. Krizack
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
These headlines appeared in Boston newspapers. The articles they introduce tell each story from the journalist's point of view. Mainstream institutions involved in the events-the courts, law enforcement, schools, and businesses--created records that provide additional information from a mainstream point of view. Often these sources are the only documentation preserved in archives and libraries that are available to researchers. Individuals from the communities involved generally pass on their perspectives on the events by word of mouth. Occasionally, members of the community or the individuals who were present create oral or written sources in which to preserve their story. Unless mainstream …

Documenting Cuban Exiles And The Cuban American Experience In South Florida, Esperanza B. De Varona, Diana Gonzalez Kirby
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
When Fidel Castro rose to power on 1January1959, Cubans left their Caribbean island in a mass exodus with hopes of returning in the near future. Miami, Florida's geographic location made it the logical point of entry into the United States. Today, forty-two years after the triumph of the Cuban revolution, Miami-Dade County contains the largest concentration of Cubans living in exile, approximately seven hundred thousand. With Hispanics comprising 49 percent of Miami-Dade County's population, Cubans by far outnumber all other Hispanics and are a majority across more than half the county's residential areas. Along with demographic growth and occupational mobility, …
