Observations On The Ethics Of Collecting Archives And Manuscripts, Thomas Wilsted
Observations On The Ethics Of Collecting Archives And Manuscripts, Thomas Wilsted
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Archivists first began codifying their behavior during the 1950s when "The Archivist's Code" was written by Wayne C. Grover for use within the National Archives.1 Reflecting a government archives perspective, it deals with such issues as service to researchers, access to records, avoiding conflicts of interest, and selecting records which can be widely used by researchers. While this code did not deal with any issues relating to institutions collecting personal papers and manuscripts, it was the only document dealing with ethical issues and was widely accepted by archivists and disseminated by the Society of American Archivists. "The Archivist's Code" remained …

The Ethics Of Processing, Virginia J.H. Cain
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
There are a number of sections and phrases in the Society of American Archivists's 1992 "Code of Ethics for Archivists" which can help explain issues and try to answer questions related to ethical issues in arrangement and description. These are among the many professional considerations which must weigh into the way in which an archivist administers both processing and an overall archival program.

Historically, ethics relate to moral principles or values and involve moral obligations or duties. According to Webster's Third New International Dictionary (1966), ethics also means those principles of conduct governing an individual or a profession. Associations have prescribed standards of behavior for their members. Despite contemporary meanings and practices, there are problems in equating standards of professional conduct with ethical decisions. Laws, institutional regulations, and the wide range of conditions in which archival practice is carried out may require decisions that are at variance with optimal conditions and practices.
The Ethics Of Providing Access, Ronald L. Becker
The Ethics Of Providing Access, Ronald L. Becker
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Archivists today make some of the most difficult ethical and legal decisions at the public service desk. It has always been a difficult process to balance the archivist's legal and ethical obligations to the researcher, to the donors of collections, and to the institution served and, furthermore, to factor in obligations to those who often are not even aware that archives hold materials that impact on their lives. Balancing equality of access for all patrons with institutional needs and requirements is at least as difficult. Despite sincere efforts to limit the acquisition of restricted material, many important and potentially useful …

"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.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

"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 Status Of Users In Archival Enterprise, Michael Widener
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
T. R. Schellenberg, the dean of modern archival enterprise, set a dual objective for the profession. "The end of all archival effort is to preserve valuable records and make them available for use," he wrote. When Schellenberg wrote these words some thirty-five years ago, archivists were oriented primarily toward the materials they worked with and perceived the users of these materials as a relatively small, elite group of scholars, mainly historians.

The Development Of The Jimmy Carter Library's Audiovisual Collection, David J. Stanhope
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The audio-visual (AV) collection of a presidential library offers the world a unique record of the life and times of a United States President and his administration. The nature of presidential AV records also creates a considerable challenge for the Office of Presidential Libraries within the National Archives and Records Administration. To meet the needs of the president, the public, and future scholars, special archival policies and practices must be implemented when dealing with presidential AV records. The development of the Jimmy Carter Library AV Collection presents an excellent case study of the policies, programs, and problems involved in administering …

Short Subjects: Archival Automation: A Brief Look At Two Systems, Frank T. Wheeler
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
While computers and automation have seemingly taken over, they have slowly and painfully crept into the archives. Automated on-line catalogs are replacing the manual card catalog and control over numerous collections and record groups has become easier. Some have argued that automation is not a positive step for an archives. These arguments will lessen as archivists begin to integrate automated systems into their daily routines of cataloging and collection maintenance.

Review Essay: Archivists And The Use Of Archival Records; Or A View From The World Of Documentary Editing, Richard J. Cox
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The past decade has been a time of new calls for reassessment of the archival reference function and analysis of the use of archival and historical records. Like bookends, we have on the one side a series of statements arguing for institutional studies of users and on the other calls for national approaches to the problem of understanding the use of America's documentary heritage. Despite the strong calls, there has been little response to either side. Ann Gordon's study, also called the Historical Documents Study, for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission is a rare star in the constellation …
