Alabama Department Of Archives And History: Celebrating A Centennial, Tracey Berezansky
Alabama Department Of Archives And History: Celebrating A Centennial, Tracey Berezansky
The Primary Source
When the Society of American Archivists comes to Birmingham in 2002, the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH) will be 101 years old. It is the first Archives established as an official agency of state government, preceding the establishment of the National Archives and the SAA by over thirty years. In November of 1940, Archivist of the United States R.D.W. Connor stated in his speech for the dedication of the new Alabama Archives building that the "establishment of this department in 1901 has been called 'a new venture in political science' in the United States." The department's enabling legislation …
Public Records: The Natchez Experience, Mimi Miller
Public Records: The Natchez Experience, Mimi Miller
The Primary Source
The public records story in Natchez is not unlike the public records story in many county seats in Mississippi. The plot revolves around the recurring themes of too little room, too little interest, and too little money.
Harrison County: A Status Report, Tim Barnard
Harrison County: A Status Report, Tim Barnard
The Primary Source
Harrison County, Mississippi has seen two major growth spurts in recent years, one in the 1970's after Hurricane Camille and another in the 1990's with the arrival of the casino industry. Both times this meant an increase in government services and the resulting records. The need for an organized method of maintaining those records was reaching a critical point.
Local Government Records In Mississippi: A Status Report, Bill Hanna
Local Government Records In Mississippi: A Status Report, Bill Hanna
The Primary Source
There have been significant gains made in the management and preservation of records of local governments since the implementation of the Local Government Records Law in 1996. Although the progress achieved has not been realized in all local governments, there are concentrated efforts underway in at least one-quarter of the state's eighty-two counties to establish a clear records management and 5 archives function within county government. The same type of effort is found in the larger municipalities within the state.
Individual Privacy, Institutional Accountability: The Challenge Of Electronic Records, Patricia Galloway
Individual Privacy, Institutional Accountability: The Challenge Of Electronic Records, Patricia Galloway
The Primary Source
Sale by businesses of customer databases led to demands for businesses to respect and protect individual privacy; banks have recently been ordered to notify customers about what data they collect and what they do with it, and to ask permission for same. AP reported in 2000 that White House electronic document searches in response to various subpoenas were faulty because "some [email] message traffic from several computer systems was not stored in electronic archives. The previous administration required a lawsuit backed by the National Archives, American Historical Association, and Society of American Archivists before it handed over properly-scheduled electronic records …

Move over, Britney--here come Rosa, Anna, and Lotta. Don't know these divas? Check the top of the pops for the '60s-the 1860s, that is. Need a "fly copper" to rescue you? Don't call 911--call "Moriarity," one of many colorful characters played by Edward Harrigan and Tony Hart in The Mulligan Guard Ball (1879) or one of its popular sequels set in New York City in the 1880s. And if you were a proper young lady in 1903, you wouldn't be caught "Under the Anheuser Bush" with anyone--but you might sing about it in your own front parlor. You can find …

Audio-Visual Collections, Preston Everett
The Primary Source
This is a list of major sources of audio-visual materials in the Deep South region. Audio-visual materials are generally defined as the majority of a collection consisting of audio, film, slides and videos. Producers are generally not concerned where or from what collection materials come from. They usually are only concerned with locating material they can use in their production. Knowing about another institution's collection can help a producer or researcher in finding related materiaL

A Genealogist In Special Collections, Or Schizophrenia In Wonderland, Lynne Mueller
A Genealogist In Special Collections, Or Schizophrenia In Wonderland, Lynne Mueller
The Primary Source
Genealogists, like all researchers, need training. Most researchers are trained by their teachers, but it is usually the archivist or librarian who has to teach the genealogist. When I teach workshops, I try to share the following four useful rules for genealogists using archives, libraries, or courthouses, especially those at a distance. Maybe the rules should be posted for all researchers, not just genealogists.
Seeing The Elephant In Ann Arbor, James G. Hollandsworth Jr.
Seeing The Elephant In Ann Arbor, James G. Hollandsworth Jr.
The Primary Source
During the nineteenth century "seeing the elephant" meant doing something that was out of the ordinary. Today, we might refer to the same occurrence as "having peak experience." Whatever the case, I like the elephant metaphor because it captures the excitement I felt last May when I visited the William L. Clements Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Archaeologists And The Archival Record, Evan Peacock
Archaeologists And The Archival Record, Evan Peacock
The Primary Source
Archaeologists study the material record, bits of things that have been either intentionally or unintentionally modified by human beings to become artifacts. In a word, stuff. Practitioners are expected to become familiar with a vast range of stuff and the characteristics thereof: from the flowing ripple marks left on a fragment of stone after it has been hammered off of a larger piece to produce a flake, to the peculiar, stretched cross-section that indicates a square nail has been machine-cut rather than hand-forged. One particularly important subset of stuff is the archival record which, besides consisting itself of artifacts of …

Congressional Papers In Mississippi Repositories, Michael B. Ballard, John Sobotka, Bobs Tusa, Sandra Boyd
The Primary Source
Historians and other researchers have begun to recognize over the last half century or so that the papers of United States senators and representatives are a treasure of information on many aspects of American life and on America's position on the world stage. These collections contain valuable data on cross-sections of the human experience, shedding light at once on political, social, familial, economic, governmental (all levels), scientific, military, racial and ethnic, environmental, and recreational developments and/or individuals involved in those various areas. Archivists face an enormous challenge in preserving and processing these collections, and making guides available that reflect the …
