"Neither Fish Nor Fowl": The Thurmond Collection As Both Repository And Records Center And Its Effect On The Appraisal Process, James Cross
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
An exhibition entitled "The Age of the Marvelous,"1 sought to explain the fascination of sixteenth and seventeenth century European culture with the unusual, rare, and exotic-whether natural or man-made. Among the paintings, natural specimens, rare books, maps, and manuscripts were displayed illustrations of wondrous animals. One common characteristic of these illustrations, whether of mythical or freshly discovered animals from the New World, was that the creature illustrated was often depicted as made up of parts from several different animals.

Appraisal Of Senator John Williams's Papers, L. Rebecca Johnson Melvin
Appraisal Of Senator John Williams's Papers, L. Rebecca Johnson Melvin
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Traditionally, appraisal decisions for a congressional collection have been made after the arrival of the collection at a repository. In this case, the collection was the papers of Senator John J. Williams of Delaware. Williams represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1947 until 1970, and was known as "the Conscience of the Senate" for his honest pursuit of integrity in government while serving on both the finance and foreign relations committees. Processing the Williams papers was a dedicated two-year project. A project archivist was hired in 1988 and , shortly afterwards, a technician assistant. The project archivist made …
Appraising A Retiring Senator's Papers: A View From The Staff Of Senator Alan Cranston, Susan Goldstein
Appraising A Retiring Senator's Papers: A View From The Staff Of Senator Alan Cranston, Susan Goldstein
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Congressional records, although defined as personal manuscript collections, are comparable to business records-typically, however, from an office that never implemented any records management. In order to describe the scope of the Cranston project, it is helpful to think of the Alan Cranston Papers as a collection originating in an office that has been in business for twenty-four years and employs over ninety people in four different work sites--the main office in Washington, DC and three California branch offices. This, of course, does not take into account campaign offices that have come and gone over the years as well as the …

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
"We called it La Riviere aux Boeuf, that is, the River of Bullocks, by reason of the great number of them there was about it. These bullocks are very like ours; there are thousands of them, ~ut instead of hair they have a very long curled sort of wool." Thus did Henri Joutel in 1685 describe what we believe to be the Guadalupe River in Texas in his "Historical Journal of Monsieur de la Salle's Last Voyage to Discover the River Mississippi."1 The "bullocks," "boeuf ," that Joutel described were American bison. In 1686, near Apalachioca, Florida, and Dothan, Alabama, …
The Acquisition Of Visual Records Relating To Native Life In North America, Jim Burant
The Acquisition Of Visual Records Relating To Native Life In North America, Jim Burant
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
In 1991, the National Archives of Canada made its first deliberate acquisition of art works by an Indian artist, the Kwaguitl David Neel, who had produced a series of serigraphs relating to events concerning native-white relations in Canada. The first work, Life on the 18th Hole (figure 1 ), was inspired by the events at Oka, Quebec, where Mohawk warriors had blockaded a provincial highway and defied first Quebec provincial police and then Canadian federal troops for more than two months in 1990.1 The second work, Just Say No (figure 2), was a commentary on the stand taken by Elijah …

Processing And Maintaining A Congressional Collection, Mary Boccaccio
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The Congressional Papers Roundtable of the Society of American Archivists was organized in 1984 and in recent years has maintained a membership of approximately one hundred individual members representing sixty-five federal and government repositories and private institutions, large, medium, and small in size. In 1990/91, the roundtable conducted a survey of its non-federal government members in order to determine the kinds of institutions that actively were collecting congressional papers and. the levels of processing that were currently being conducted. Thirty-nine percent of the roundtable members responded. The survey dealt specifically with post-World War II congressional papers. This cut-off period was …
