Personality Types Of Archivists, Charles R. Schultz Jan 1996

Personality Types Of Archivists, Charles R. Schultz

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Carl Gustav Jung, the Swiss-born psychiatrist, developed the modern concept of psychological types, preferences with which individuals are born that form the foundation of their personalities. Soon after Jung's work appeared in English translation, an American researcher, Katharine Briggs, began detailed studies of Jung's work. She, along with her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, devoted nearly two decades to developing ways to measure the preferences of individuals in order to determine their types and the strength of their preferences. Their collaboration resulted in the creation of a survey instrument, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), which has been given to millions of …

Distance Researching Via The Internet: A Researcher's Perspective, Gillian North Jan 1996

Distance Researching Via The Internet: A Researcher's Perspective, Gillian North

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In 1995, an advisory panel asked a group of grad.uate students in Britain whether it was viable to undertake doctoral research in the field of American Studies given that the majority of the material they would require was likely to be housed three thousand miles away. By its very nature a doctoral dissertation relies heavily on primary source material, exactly the type of material that would appear to be out of the reach of the long distance researcher. How could they hope to carry out the amount of research needed to fulfill the requirements of a Ph.D., with the twin …

Archives At The Millennium: Diversity, Community, And The World Of Learning, Linda M. Matthews Jan 1996

Archives At The Millennium: Diversity, Community, And The World Of Learning, Linda M. Matthews

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

My theme today is building our future. By future, I do not mean five or ten years from now, when we will have entered a new millennium, but next week and next month. For as soon as we say future in this fast moving age, it is here. Our future is defining and analyzing the problems and opportunities that face us, developing joint solutions, working together to make each of us stronger.


Diversity And Traditional Collections At Rutgers University, Ronald L. Becker Jan 1996

Diversity And Traditional Collections At Rutgers University, Ronald L. Becker

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

With the establishment of both regional and national ethnic, gender, cultural, and religious collections, the concept of diversity in archives encourages a fragmented world. This is one in which a researcher has a few clear-cut options--go to a women's repository to do research on women, a labor collection for labor history, an African-American archives for African-Americans, and so forth. However, time has demonstrated that no repository has a comer on the market for diversity which can also be found in holdings of what are often referred to as "traditional collections." Such repositories, whose primary objective is to document state and …


Building User-Oriented Web Sites For Archives, R. Phillip Reynolds Jan 1996

Building User-Oriented Web Sites For Archives, R. Phillip Reynolds

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

For years the banking industry did not consider electronic services for customers as "real" business. Then in 1994, a study entitled "New Paradigms in Retail Banking" by the Bank Administration Institute (BAI) and First Manhattan Consulting Group revealed that more than half of all retail banking transactions occurred by way of an electronic medium. People were no longer going to their branch offices, but conducted business with their phones, PCs, and ATM cards. Suddenly banking executives stopped asking "Why should we offer electronic services?" and started asking "Why aren't we offering electronic services?" This same revolution in thought is inevitable …

Gophers In The Archives: Planning And Implementing An Archives And Records Management Gopher, Michael Holland, Elizabeth Nielsen

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The archival community is within the early and unsettled stages of an important transition in information access as an increasing number of repositories and records management programs utilize powerful communications tools such as the Internet Gopher, Cello, and Mosaic. By the spring of 1994, the authors identified well over a dozen academic institutions that had made descriptive guides to historical materials or records management information available through the Internet. Among the first repositories to make historical records descriptions available in this way were Johns Hopkins University, Wheaton College, Trent University, and the University of Virginia. Internet resources dealing with historical …

"Pricing" The Corporate Memory: User Fees And Revenue Generation In A Public Archives, Gabrielle Blais Jan 1995

"Pricing" The Corporate Memory: User Fees And Revenue Generation In A Public Archives, Gabrielle Blais

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In their current bestseller, Reinventing Government, David Osborne and Ted Gaebler have attempted to provide a "map" of entrepreneurial government by suggesting new ways of delivering public services. One of their basic principles, entitled "Enterprising Government: Earning Rather Than Spending," argues that a profit oriented mentality can translate into more efficient and client-driven services. They provide several examples of successful government competition with the private sector, development deals, and the introduction of user fees. Not surprisingly, their arguments are similar to those presented in recent years by archivists when they debate funding issues. This author wonders how far we have …

A Hint Of Scandal: Problems In Acquiring The Papers Of U.S. Senator Herman E. Talmadge - A Case Study, Pam Hackbart-Dean

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

On May 30, 1994, Roll Call, a weekly newspaper for Capitol Hill, boasted an emphatic headline on its front page that read, "Congress Has Strictest Ethics Rules in World, According to a New CRS Study of 24 Nations." But the ethics of Congress proved less scandalous than the headline for the Thursday edition that same week which announced in heavy bold type, "Rosty Indicted on 17 Counts." These telling words condemned Representative Dan Rostenkowski, Democrat of Chicago and chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, for his graft charges.

The Future Of Archival History, James O'Toole Jan 1995

The Future Of Archival History, James O'Toole

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

More than a dozen years ago, the archival educator and writer Richard Cox outlined the development of American archival history and offered some suggestions for the work that still needed to be done in that field. Drawing on a range of publications, from the obscure to the well-known, he surveyed a century of writing in this country on the history of the archives profession, its people, and its institutions, as that history had appeared in monographs and in scholarly journals of state, regional, and national circulation. For all the output, however, Cox concluded that the coverage was uneven in terms …


Oral History: Provenance And Intellectual Access, David S. Miller Jan 1994

Oral History: Provenance And Intellectual Access, David S. Miller

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In the second half of the twentieth century, resea·rchers in all fields of study have become more sensitive to documentary gaps, especially the paucity of materials by and about social non-elites. With increasing frequency, oral history projects have been carried out to add these forgotten voices to the historical record and thereby create what may be termed new historical evidence. In the words of one public historian, "a new and integrative paradigm" is crafted out of such initiatives, whereby the oral testimonies of the heretofore ignored are synthesized with the documentation of the powerful. The result is, at least in …

Studying The Weathervane: Use As A Factor In Appraisal Criteria, Wendy Duff Jan 1994

Studying The Weathervane: Use As A Factor In Appraisal Criteria, Wendy Duff

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In his 1974 Society of American Archivists presidential address, Gerald F. Ham cautioned archivists against becoming "too closely tied to the vogue of the academic marketplace" otherwise ''the archivist will remain at best nothing more than a weathervane moved by the changing winds of historiography." These wise words of advice reflected concern over collecting activities that responded to the latest research interests rather than a broad knowledge of ''the scope, quality, and direction of research in an open-ended future." But how can archivists predict the future trends of research, especially those in an openended future? Should they even try? Timothy …

Dancing: Archival Education And Student Research, Richard J. Cox

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

John Mellencamp's song "Dance Naked" might seem an inappropriate way of introducing four student essays on archival topics, but it happened to be what I was listening to as I put the finishing touches to this essay. As with most popular song lyrics (and I am not repeating Mellencamp's words so as not to offend anyone), these words can be interpreted on a number of levels. Yet, I know that when students work on such essays in their archives courses that they both feel naked in their lack of security about their own knowledge of archival science while sensing a …


Privacy Issues Affecting Lesbian And Gay Archival Collections, Diane Shannon Jan 1994

Privacy Issues Affecting Lesbian And Gay Archival Collections, Diane Shannon

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Originally, I planned to discuss more broadly in this paper issues of access in lesbian and gay archives. Not only did I intend to research and write about the issues surrounding the confidentiality of information contained in those archives, but also the benefits and losses associated with cooperative agreements between those archives and local community groups, and between the archives themselves. Additionally, I planned to discuss the ways in which a lack of funding at smaller lesbian and gay archives affects their operation (hours of operation, the materials and expertise they use, climate control, etc.). My mechanisms for analyzing all …


Questioning Aesthetics: Are Archivists Qualified To Make Appraisal Or Reappraisal Decisions Based On Aesthetic Judgments?, Kimberly J. Barata Jan 1994

Questioning Aesthetics: Are Archivists Qualified To Make Appraisal Or Reappraisal Decisions Based On Aesthetic Judgments?, Kimberly J. Barata

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

During the appraisal or reappraisal process, an item may be either accessioned into or remain intact as part of a collection owing to its intrinsic value. Judgments regarding the intrinsic value of an item range from the purely subjective to the totally ambiguous. The concept of intrinsic value experienced growing interest from the National Archives and Records Service (NAAS) as they began to embark on a large-scale reformatting project in 1979. Planning for this project raised the issue of whether certain documents should be retained in their original format or be destroyed following reformatting. In response to this issue, NAAS …
