Technology's Effect On The Role Of The Archivist, John A. Vernon

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Not long ago the author's total credentials for presuming to comment on high-tech matters would have amounted to the demonstrated ability to load and use a stapler, successfully turn on and off an electric toothbrush, and replace batteries in most flashlights. There must be a goodly number of other archivists who possess a similarly deprived background. Of course, they are not announcing it to everyone as is being done here.

Archival Preservation In The Age Of Technology, Lisa L. Fox

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

If there was ever a time when archives and libraries were places of refuge from the flux of the surrounding world, that era has entirely disappeared with the advent of the information age. The jargon of the high-tech world (Machine-Readable Cataloging [MARC), standards, communication protocols, and bits and bytes) has flooded the professional literature as archivists consider automating their processing, reference, and administrative functions. New technologies are being made available which require the archivist to make increasingly complex decisions regarding a vast array of options.

Short Subjects: User Statistics And Records Appraisal, Kathy Roe Coker

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Several years ago at a meeting of the Society of Georgia Archivists, Margaret Child of the National Endowment for the Humanities exclaimed, "There's just too much stuff." The "stuff" she was referring to is primarily the records of modern times which are making their way into archives and local repositories. Child believes that her cry and that of the modern records archivist "will soon become desperate." One reason for the voluminous records is no doubt the information explosion of our times, but also, contends Child, the failure by repositories to establish a formal collecting policy. Child's answer to this state …

Continuing Education And Information Management: Or, The Monk's Dilemma, Frederick J. Stielow

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The biases in the preparation of archivists in this work are much the same as Lawrence McCrank in his "Prospects for Integrating Historical and Information Studies." Like McCrank, this paper assumes the proper direction for archivy is a synthesis between library and historical training. But today that juncture is no longer sufficient, for the techniques of information management must also be added to the mixture. Only at such a nexus can a distinct profession and professional studies in the fullest definitions of those terms emerge. With the onset of the computer age, archivists can simply no longer ignore the methodologies …

Archival Preservation: Continuing Education For The Working Archivist, Michael Holland

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

A recent exchange of letters in the American Archivist highlights the conflicts between the two schools promoting preservation education in the archival world today. Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler speaks for the commonsense school, which has also been represented most ably by George Cunha and Robert Patterson. They are dedicated to 'action now', because, to quote Patterson, "the library and archives professions cannot afford to wait for the professional conservator to appear before taking up the battle against decay: we must organize to take action ourselves." Ritzenthaler was responding to Christine Young's contention that a highly trained, highly skilled conservator is the …

Kentucky's Machine-Readable Challenge, Richard N. Belding, Larry G. Forston

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

For many reasons, the history of the management of records in machine-readable form in Kentucky state government has been short and sporadic. The Public Records Division of the state's Department for Libraries and Archives has long been aware of problems related to appraising and preserving machine-readable records (MRR), but lack of staffing and expertise has forced it to postpone confronting these issues. The widespread use of MRR by state agencies, however, has made it impossible for the division to assist them with appropriate records management and archival procedures without dealing in some way with these records.

Review Essay: Bibliographic Introduction To Optical Storage Publications For Archivists And Libraries, Glen Mcaninch

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

This bibliographic introduction is a guide to the study of optical storage in the 1980s. It is designed to enable the reader to keep current on this fast changing technology by providing an annotated list of places to look for information, rather than listing all entries for the topic. Though optical technology is several decades old, the use of optical disks for storage has been feasible on a commercial level only in the last five years.

An Administrative History Of The Disposal Of Federal Records, 1789-1949, James Gregory Bradsher

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

From 1789 to 1985 the federal government has created some 170 million cubic feet of records. At the end of 1984 it had accumulated over 40 million cubic feet of records, including 1.4 million cubic feet of permanent archives in the custody of the National Archives. Thus, 130 million cubic feet of federal records have been destroyed. Most of the destruction, about 120 million cubic feet, took place subsequent to the creation of the National Archives and Records Service (NARS) in 1949 and to the passage of the Federal Records Act of 1950. The success the federal government has experienced …

Strategies For Archival Action In The 1980s And Beyond: Implementing The Saa Goals And Priorities Task Force Report, Richard J. Cox

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

This essay is written by an archivist primarily for archivists, but its content concerns a subject--the preservation of America's documentary heritage--that is important to a much wider audience. Archivists have long recognized that theirs is a profession with a broad mandate handicapped by far too limited resources. In the past few years, through a series of major investigations and reports, archivists have learned the extent of the threat to historical records in the United States caused by their profession's own weaknesses. Some will undoubtedly bristle at that last sentence and argue that numerous other reasons exist for the poor condition …

Folklore And Oral History: Exploring Subject Indexing, Pamela Dean

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Catalogs, indexes, inventories, retrieval systems, and finding aids are a major part of any archives and, as any archivist knows, they can also be a major problem--both to devise and to maintain. Handling oral materials can present some special problems, and there seems to be no one best system for repositories of folklore and oral history collections. Each institution has had to devise its own methods in response to the different types of material it contains and the different ways this material may be used. A recent project at the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History (NAFOH), at the …

Short Subjects: Archives And Records Management In The Federal Government: The Post-Gsa Context, Linda Vee Pruitt

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

On 19 October 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed the National Archives and Records Administration Act of 1984, separating the National Archives from the General Services Administration (GSA) and reestablishing the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as an independent agency. This legislation attempted to resolve the two long-standing dilemmas: the relationship of archives and records management in the federal government and the placement of the National Archives within GSA.
