Short Subjects: Collecting At The 1982 World's Fair, Sally Ripatti Jan 1983

Short Subjects: Collecting At The 1982 World's Fair, Sally Ripatti

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

When the World's Fair came to Tennessee (1 May-31 October 1982), it brought an opportunity for the staff of the McClung Historical Collection of the Knoxville-Knox County Public Library to collect small, ephemeral fair-related items. There is a scarcity of such items from the city's early exposition experiences--the Appalachian Expositions of 1910 and 1911 and the National Conservation Exposition twenty years later. This led to thoughts on the needs of future researchers and how easily similar requests might be met with relatively little effort in the present.

The Need For Comprehensive Records Programs In Local Government: Learning By Mistakes In Baltimore, 1947-1982, Richard J. Cox Jan 1983

The Need For Comprehensive Records Programs In Local Government: Learning By Mistakes In Baltimore, 1947-1982, Richard J. Cox

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Much has been written about the need to manage records and information and to provide systematic programs for the identification, preservation, and use of historical records, and to do both efficiently. Most of this literature, starting with the unfortunate schism between the archivists and records managers in the mid-1950s, has stressed the positive aspects of a full records program. However, perhaps more attention needs to be paid to the unfortunate results of records programs skewed one way or another. After all, learning by mistakes is often more effective.

The Provenance Of Social Work Case Records: Implications For Archival Appraisal And Access, David Klaassen Jan 1983

The Provenance Of Social Work Case Records: Implications For Archival Appraisal And Access, David Klaassen

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Privacy became a public issue during the 1970s to an extent that was unprecedented in American history. In retrospect it now seems inevitable that an information society, with its new-found ability to store, manipulate, link, and retrieve vast quantities of information, would have to contend with abuse of information. Threats to and concerns about privacy predate the computer, of course, but it was the emergence of massive machine readable data systems that gave rise to the recent wave of legislation, at both the federal and state levels, designed to regulate the collection and use of personal information.

Social Service Programs: Appraisal Of State And Local Records, David Levine Jan 1983

Social Service Programs: Appraisal Of State And Local Records, David Levine

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists have for many years expressed concern about appraising records that may be duplicated, in one form or another, at more than one level of government. To illustrate some of these problems and concerns, social service records were selected as the focus of this article, although the topic could just as easily have been labor records, highway records, or the records of any other function under the jurisdiction of more than one level of government. This analysis will answer two questions central to the appraisal of social service case files. First, is the information contained in case files statistically summarized …

Access To Church Records: Trinity Church, An Example, Phyllis Barr Jan 1983

Access To Church Records: Trinity Church, An Example, Phyllis Barr

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

One of the constant problems facing archivists is the tension created between the twin goals of access and the right to privacy. As a result of state and national freedom of information acts and debate in the postWatergate era about sunshine laws, this problem has come into the forefront of discussion in recent years. Although private institutions are not subject to these laws, neither have they been immune from questions regarding access. For the church archivist, the conflict between making records accessible and, yet, protecting the privacy of the church's members can pose real dilemmas. It is necessary, therefore, to …

Appraisal Strategies For Machine-Readable Case Files, Ross J. Cameron Jan 1983

Appraisal Strategies For Machine-Readable Case Files, Ross J. Cameron

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The increasing use of computers in both administrative record keeping and in social science research challenges archivists to reevaluate previous appraisals of many types of records. The creation of computerized data bases which contain information from legal, criminal, medical, welfare, and other investigatory, regulatory, client, and personnel files has brought case files into this group of records which must be reappraised. Although they may include the same subject matter as textual case files, machine-readable case files may be appraised differently because of the media on which they are recorded and the amount of information they contain. This new media greatly …

Short Subjects: Archives And The Teaching Of History, Thomas T. Spencer Jan 1983

Short Subjects: Archives And The Teaching Of History, Thomas T. Spencer

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In writing about the relationship and common interests shared by archivists and historians, scholars have focused primarily on research in archival repositories and the mutual concern for the preservation of valuable historical documents. Little has been noted about the role archives can play for those who teach history. Besides presenting research opportunities for scholars, archives provide a classroom where students from grade school through college can study and learn history by using manuscripts, photographs, oral history transcripts, audiovisual tapes, and other archival material.

Short Subjects: Self-Indexing Contemporary Photograph Collections, Bill Sumners Jan 1983

Short Subjects: Self-Indexing Contemporary Photograph Collections, Bill Sumners

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

A review of current library and archival literature on the cataloging of photographs illustrates the diverse methods of arranging and describing visual records. Photographic collections range in size from a handful of old pictures to collections housing hundreds of thousands of photographs and negatives. As varied as the size of photograph collections, there also seems to be as many different cataloging and arrangement schemes. While most cataloging methods have unique features, they usually can be categorized in three types of retrieval systems: (l) card catalog, (2) image- bearing cards, and (3) self- indexed collections. This is an explanation of the …

George Washington Forgeries And Facsimiles, Dorothy Twohig Jan 1983

George Washington Forgeries And Facsimiles, Dorothy Twohig

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In preparation for a new and complete edition of George Washington's correspondence, the editors of the Papers of George Washington at the University of Virginia have over a ten year period collected copies of some 135,000 items of correspondence. This includes letters and documents written to Washington as well as those written by him. Among these thousands of documents are some 150 to 200 that bear a special relationship to the rest of the project's holdings. These are the documents produced over the last hundred years by forgers of varying skill and which are often still masquerading as authentic Washington …

"Starting An Archives": A Decade Later, Kaye Lanning Jan 1983

"Starting An Archives": A Decade Later, Kaye Lanning

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In the premier issue (fall 1972) of Georgia Archive, David B. Gracy II described some of the planning and preparation required to start an archives. Ten years later, his extremely popular article is still being studied by archivists who are beginning new operations as well as by those trying to make existing organizations more efficient and usable. Since the article appeared, archivists have rethought old practices, learned from experience, and borrowed techniques from friends in libraries, records management, and computer programming. Sources for professional development and education have broadened, financial situations have grown perhaps less certain, and the quantity …

Higher Education's Archival Missing Links, Wilma R. Slaight Jan 1983

Higher Education's Archival Missing Links, Wilma R. Slaight

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In recent years articles have celebrated the growth and quality of college and university archives, so much so that a session at the 1982 annual meeting of the Society of American Archivists focused on whether higher education was documented out of proportion to other aspects of American life. As part of an ongoing discussion of this topic it would be instructive to investigate the distribution of academic archives and to explore ways colleges and universities without archives can better care for their records. Throughout this discussion it is important to remember that college and university archives are not established to …

Short Subjects: Appraisal In Context, Uli Haller Jan 1983

Short Subjects: Appraisal In Context, Uli Haller

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Appraising while arranging is probably such a natural process that most never consider it appraisal. Yet, retention appraisal and arrangement work hand in hand during the progressive refinement of control over an accession. Each successive level of control more specifically identifies the records present. This changes the context for the appraisal and progressively narrows the focus of the retention decisions. Rather than a single step, weeding occurs bit by bit, depending on the information made available through arrangement.
