Making Digital Preservation Practical: A Personal Odyssey, Christopher J. Prom Jan 2011

Making Digital Preservation Practical: A Personal Odyssey, Christopher J. Prom

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Thank you for the kind introduction. And thank you all for having me here to speak with you and to learn from you. I am so pleased to be doing so, since the theme of your conference — real world solutions — is near and dear to me. As noted, the theme of my remarks is “Making Digital Preservation Practical.” I will highlight some ways that archives can begin a systematic program to acquire, preserve, and provide access to born-digital materials, by reflecting on my own experiences over the past few years.


Preservation Of The Video Game, Allison M. Hudgins Jan 2011

Preservation Of The Video Game, Allison M. Hudgins

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists have witnessed the preservation pitfalls of aging paper, videotape, and film and may wonder what the future holds for the video games of this era. Will children fifty years from now be able to play Super Mario World? More importantly, will historians lose objects that have made a significant cultural impact on the society of the late twentieth century and early twenty-first? If a variety of institutions do not take up significant preservation efforts then the games of today could slip away more quickly than one might think.

Reappraising Leonard Rapport's "No Grandfather Clause" At Thirty, Ashby Crowder Jan 2011

Reappraising Leonard Rapport's "No Grandfather Clause" At Thirty, Ashby Crowder

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Identifying enduring value in records is elemental to the concept of archives. Consequently, the question of reevaluating past determinations of endurance goes to the core of archival theory. Despite the substantial professional literature on the appraisal of records, relatively few archival scholars or practitioners have analyzed how and whether archivists should revisit original appraisal decisions.1 Professional organizations are only beginning to deal with the issue formally. While archivists could benefit from more professional guidance in reappraisal, the small amount of literature that does exist suggests a consensus that reappraisal, when done properly, can be a component of sound collections management.

Are There Ethical Implications Of Karma?, Thomas Pynn Jan 2011

Are There Ethical Implications Of Karma?, Thomas Pynn

Faculty Articles

Though Americans have been exposed to Asian philosophical traditions since the nineteenth century – with much recent help from the Beat writers of the 1950s and 1960s – too little attention has been paid to the texts and ideas of these traditions and to their implementation in daily life. This is especially true with regard to Buddhist ideas of ethics and karma. Compounding the problem is the commercial exploitation of Asian philosophical terms like Dharma, karma, tantra and reincarnation, which tends to impede deeper understanding of these important concepts. In America, ethics are once more on the lips of many …


The Declaration Of Independence And Immigration In The United States Of America, Kenneth M. White Jan 2011

The Declaration Of Independence And Immigration In The United States Of America, Kenneth M. White

Faculty Articles

The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, and immigration policy has always been controversial. The history of immigration in the United States is contrasted in this article with a normative standard of naturalization (immigration policy) based on the Declaration of Independence. The current immigration debate fits within a historical pattern that pits an unrestricted right of immigration (the left) against exclusive, provincial politics (the right). Both sides are simultaneously correct and incorrect. A moderate policy on immigration is possible if the debate in the United States gets an infusion of what Thomas Paine called "common sense."


Decision-Making Under Uncertainty: Using Case Studies For Teaching Strategy In Complex Environments, Volker C. Franke Jan 2011

Decision-Making Under Uncertainty: Using Case Studies For Teaching Strategy In Complex Environments, Volker C. Franke

Faculty Articles

Decision-makers today respond to a security environment characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Decisions cut across a wide range of social, political and cultural domestic and global issues and demand cognitive flexibility, adaptability and the ability to make decisions “on the fly.” While the U.S. military excels in preparing its soldiers and officers for the operational demands and tactical requirements of a wide array of increasingly complex contingency missions, a number of observers have pointed to the need for teaching strategy more effectively as part of professional military education. The purpose of this article is to analyze some of …
