Sampling In An Archival Framework: Mathoms And Manuscripts, Margery N. Sly

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien describes the Mathern House at Michel Delving in the Western part of the Shire. A Mathern is something that a person does not want to keep but cannot bear to throw away. 1 Archivists may often feel that they preside over such a house. They are trained to preserve records of permanent historical value--to prevent their destruction. However, much of the masses of records produced, especially in the twentieth century, may not be of permanent historical value, and archivists need appraisal techniques which will aid them in dealing with this situation …

Over the past one hundred years, Dorchester House has continuously met the ever changing needs of the Dorchester community.

Artifical Intelligence, Expert Systems, And Archival Automation, Peter B. Hirtle

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The success of archival automation during the past two decades cannot be questioned. From the development of the SPINDEX (Selective Permentation Indexing) program at the National Archives, through the work of the National Information Systems Task Force (NISTF) committee, to the development of the MARC AMC (MAchine Readable Cataloging, Archives and Manuscripts Control) format, automation's progress, while perhaps slow in comparison to the library profession, has been sure.

Short Subjects: The Amc Format: A Guide To The Implementation Process, William E. Brown Jr., Lofton Wilson

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Use of the USMARC Archives and Manuscripts Control (AMC) format and the automation process necessary for archival and manuscript repositories to utilize a computer information system designed to centralize the storage, manipulation, and retrieval of bibliographic and collection management data are new phenomena for many archivists. Information systems such as OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) and RLIN (Research Libraries Information System) provide an attractive opportunity for repositories which desire to participate in the use of AMC at the national level, while other systems are operational at the local, state, and regional levels. Great strides in archival awareness and automation expertise …

Short Subjects: Athens And Sparta: The Archivist And Resource Allocators, Harley P. Holden

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

One result of the social, economic, and technological changes and developments of the past two decades has been an increased monetary pressure on educational institutions. Rare is the academic or other nonprofit institution that has not found it necessary to mount a fund-raising campaign. Economic pressures on educational institutions are not new nor are efforts to solve them. What is new is the intensity and pervasiveness. of monetary accountability, the professionalism . employed in fund raising, and the web of involvement that affects everyone in an administrative position, no matter how minor. Fiscal responsibilities that once were confined to the …

Lessons Learned And To Be Learned In Intergovernmental Appraisal, Kathy Roe Coker

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Seneca, Roman politician, poet, and essayist, succinctly echoed the Roman view of cooperation, efficiency, and practicality when he wrote "one hand washes the other." Centuries later archivists are still struggling to learn and apply Seneca's maxim. Although archivists have not successfully implemented Seneca's maxim in the realm of cooperative appraisal, they have for some time recognized the need.

Archivists Against The Current: For A Fair And Truly Representative Record Of Our Times, Patrick M. Quinn

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Concern with problems associated with documenting nontraditional and minority movements for cultural, economic, social, and political change has been expressed previously in the archival literature, but certainly not in proportion to the dimensions of such a problem. If one admits that the prevailing values of a given society generally correspond to the values of the prevailing socioeconomic strata of that society, it is not at all surprising that archivists should have been preoccupied with accumulating a documentary record of the lives of the members of the prevailing strata and of the activities and functions of the institutions that provide the …

A Case Study: The Archivist As Activist At The Northwestern University Library's Women's Collection, Sarah Sherman

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The Women's Collection at the Northwestern University Library is like the triathlete: it attempts to engage in that which only extraordinary people or fools try. Like the triathlete, it is sustained by the goal it has set for itself. The Women's Collection documents the activities of activists in the women's liberation movement by collecting materials generated by these activists. The "engagement" or involvement of the curator of the collection is critical to this enterprise, because of the nature of the work. In addition to preservation, which will not be discussed here, there are four primary areas of activity which are …

Indexing Archival Films: Alaska Archival Motion Picture Program, Steven Walsh, David Hales, Judith Diamondstone

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Since the turn of the twentieth century, the state of Alaska has attracted professional and amateur filmmakers eager to document the northern wilderness and its inhabitants. Existing films on Alaska include thousands of feet of historically precious, unedited footage as well as studio productions; they are in demand by research specialists, educators, and filmmakers, as well as nonprofessional Alaskan citizens. Responding to that demand, administrators of the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks launched the Alaska Archival Motion Picture Program to preserve film footage on Alaska and the circumpolar regions and to make it available to a …

The Politics Of Protest Collections: Developing Social Action Archives, Sarah Cooper

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In this article, the term politics is used in a broad sense to suggest that there are definite, though not always explicit, assumptions and values affecting the nature and extent of the documentary record preserved on social movements in this era. Though of main concern in this discussion is how values affect the collecting of materials on radical social change, the value systems under which archivists operate affect any kind of collecting endeavor.

Fitting In: The Automation Of The Archives At Northwestern University, Patricia Cloud

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

By now the archival community has begun in earnest, though not always cheerfully, to participate in that special sector of the information revolution which involves the MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) formats created by the Library of Congress. Most especially, many archivists are beginning to make use, or planning to begin to make use, of the recently published USMARC Archival and Manuscripts Control format, generally known as the MARC-AMC format, or simply AMC.

Documenting The Gay Rights Movement, Elizabeth Knowlton Jr., Lofton Wilson

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists must take an active role in collecting gay records. They cannot depend on traditional, passive techniques to document either the gay rights movement or the lives of homosexuals in America--unless they are so naive as to expect these records to appear miraculously on their shelves. More likely, as with other social reform movements, records will be lost in the daily living of people who have too little time and money to document and observe the immediacy of their lives.
