Adding Electronic Records To The Archival Menagerie: Appraisal Concerns And Cautions, Michael E. Holland Jan 1990

Adding Electronic Records To The Archival Menagerie: Appraisal Concerns And Cautions, Michael E. Holland

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Electronic records are significantly different from most of the records held in institutional archives and, thus, they must be appraised and evaluated for accessioning with different and additional factors in mind. The archival predilection for discussing electronic records only within the context of preservation issues fosters the misconception that--given optimum environmental conditions--electronic media may be considered an archival or long-term storage format. This is not a realistic assessment. Electronic media should be approached as a transitory information format in the archives. The mistaken beliefs that electronic recording formats are long-term storage media and that the readily apparent and sometimes superficial …

The Practicum And The Changing Face Of Archival Education: Observations And Recommendations, Frederick J. Stielow Jan 1990

The Practicum And The Changing Face Of Archival Education: Observations And Recommendations, Frederick J. Stielow

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Until the 1970s, work experience was the singular training venue for most American archivists. A protoarchivist came to the field with background education in the humanities and learned on-the-job. However effective a method for instilling institutional practices, OJT (onthe- job training) has its limits as a vehicle for professionalization. Practitioners were rarely steeped or even informed about the theories and complexities of information systems or the auxiliary sciences of history. Most archivists were constricted by the pragmatic realities of their daily work schedule; hence, they were without the time or "leisure" to theorize about their problems in an abstracted fashion. …

History, Historiography, And The Appraisal Of University Records, Carl Van Ness Jan 1990

History, Historiography, And The Appraisal Of University Records, Carl Van Ness

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Rookie university archivists are ill-prepared for the responsibilities entailed in the management of an academic archives. First, there is the unique institutional setting. The unusual and varied systems of university governance make strict adherence to the paradigms for archival arrangement and description impractical at times. Second, and more vexing, is the fact that few college and university archivists are intellectually prepared. Unless the archivist is a devoted alumnus, he or she must first study the institution's history, mythology, and cultural traditions. But what of the larger academic world? Unfortunately, most archivists know little about the development of American higher education …

Short Subjects: Georgia Ghosts, Or Where Are They Now?: One Researcher's Catalog Of Georgia's Missing Historical Records, Robert S. Davis Jr. Jan 1990

Short Subjects: Georgia Ghosts, Or Where Are They Now?: One Researcher's Catalog Of Georgia's Missing Historical Records, Robert S. Davis Jr.

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Ghosts haunt places like attics, old barns, and university libraries. They live in the minds of researchers seeking in frustration that missing document, pamphlet, or book mentioned in an earlier source. Even when the text of a document has survived in some form, researchers sometimes have gone to great lengths to find the original manuscript for the assurance that nothing more can be found there.

Short Subjects: Moving, Todd Ellison Jan 1990

Short Subjects: Moving, Todd Ellison

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

We all move; about twenty million Americans traded places last year. Most of them trucked the furniture themselves. Archivists delight in moving no more than the next person, but their professional training and experience prepares them better than does probably anyone else's. Whether they implement their knowledge is another matter; this article describes the ideal.

Saving Brittle Books: An Annotated Bibliography Of Preservation Options, Susan A. Massey Dec 1989

Saving Brittle Books: An Annotated Bibliography Of Preservation Options, Susan A. Massey

Susan A. Massey

Sources of information concerning paper deterioration and approaches to researching the preservation literature are offered as an aid to administrative decision-making. A suggested list of readings keyed to a study outline allows an overview of the issues and factors involved in the current brittle books problem. Though designed to give a broad background of basic information, the annotated bibliography can also be used to develop a shelf of reference materials for preservation managers.
