The Journal Of Jean Laffite: Its History And Controversy, Robert L. Schaadt
The Journal Of Jean Laffite: Its History And Controversy, Robert L. Schaadt
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Whether defined as original order or the history of ownership, provenance is one of the guiding lights of the archival profession, the key that guarantees the validity of documents in the archives. Archival material is rarely questioned, and authorship is seldom a topic of intense discussion. One assumes that the signer of the letter penned it except when secretaries were known to have been employed. Perhaps as a profession, however, archivists are too trusting and rely too often on provenance as a guiding light.

Often the thrill of adventure and discovery propels archivists to pursue collections. While out in the field, few would pass up the opportunity to acquire an interesting collection that would enhance a repository's holdings or disregard an exciting find such as a love letter from a United States president or a personal diary. Sometimes, however, the excitement of discovery overshadows the daunting task of caring for these collections after they have been acquired. Regardless of the manner in which archival materials are acquired by a repository-whether by law, institutional mandate, purchase, or gift-it is important to evaluate the condition and …

Too often the pressure of the present-day work environment lures archivists into ignoring their professional past ot advancing shortsightedly into the future. To encourage such reflection on the archival enterprise, Provenance includes this section, Fresh Focus. We invite contnl>utors 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. Following is the second in a series of occasional essays or papers meeting these criteria.

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The pirate Jean Laffite is a well known but elusive figure about whom much has been written and much is still unresolved. Laffite studies are especially dynamic today because of the appearance in 1948 of an internally credible but controversial French-language manuscript that purports to be the pirate's own journal. Written largely in Missouri from 1845 to 1850 and recently issued in reprint, the journal contradicts previously accepted evidence that both Jean Laffite and his brother Pierre died in action and were buried in the Yucatan during the 1820s. It paints them instead as living until the 1840s and dying …
Documenting Industry And Labor In Alabama: Can A Documentation Strategy Model Help?, Martin T. Olliff
Documenting Industry And Labor In Alabama: Can A Documentation Strategy Model Help?, Martin T. Olliff
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
As early as 1997 the Society of Alabama Archivists (SALA) identified a number of topics in Alabama history and culture that were not well documented in the archives in the state. Some of these topics, for example North Alabama's aerospace industry, were just beginning to appear in archival collections. Alabama archivists took note of such fields early enough that the volume of accumulated records did not become a problem. On the other hand, archivists in the state faced enormous problems in coping with the mass of records they already knew existed in other underdocumented fields like labor and industry.
