Where Are They Now?, Jane Powers Weldon

Several months ago, SGA appealed by newsletter and by letter to founding and pioneer members of the society, in hopes of getting reminiscences and anecdotes on SGA's early days, reporting on their present activities, and obtaining their evaluation's of SGA's contributions to their professional lives.

Short Subjects: Team Collaboration Through The Design Process, Or What An Architect Says To A Friendly Archivist, Larry C. Sweat Jan 1989

Short Subjects: Team Collaboration Through The Design Process, Or What An Architect Says To A Friendly Archivist, Larry C. Sweat

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The intent of this article is to remove the shroud of mystery behind what a design professional does and to help create a viable dialogue between the archivist and the architect. Archivists should be viewed as experts. The complexities of operating an archival library are best understood by the people who work dayto- day in and maintain their facility. Conversely, architects are trained problem-solvers who should be able to present creatively alternative solutions about how the building may work or how people may use it. Consideration of these different solutions can often lead to improvements of existing situations. A significant …

As we envisioned this session, our panel would discuss what brought them together, why they felt the ·need to organize; what they envisioned for SGA as a professional organization; how did they view its development; how they have viewed its development over the last few years; and what they would like to see for its future. Then, we thought that following some discussion about our beginning, it would be a very valuable exercise for those of us here to have a forum to explore development for SGA and what we, as a group, would like to have come from our …

Jimmy Carter And The Presidential Library System, Richard Dees Funderburke Jan 1989

Jimmy Carter And The Presidential Library System, Richard Dees Funderburke

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Ralph Waldo Emerson felt that the study of history was significant to the individual for what it revealed about his own life. The monuments of other ages should be studied until the student "lives along the whole line of temples and sphinxes and catacombs, passes through them all with satisfaction, and they live again to the mind, or are now." The interest with which he might have viewed his own nation's monuments in the form of presidential libraries can only be surmised. He might have been appalled that the simple democratic nation he knew in the 1840s had come …

Leading Off: The First Years Of The Sporting News Archives, Steven P. Gietschier

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Since Roots helped Americans discover an interest in genealogy, archival work has changed in many ways. · One of these is the definition of what constitutes basic archival research. When most archival patrons were scholars, archivists tended to assume that they would ask the traditional historical questions: Why did the North win the Civil War?, for example, or Was General Longstreet a good strategist? Genealogists began to ask simpler, more -fundamental questions--not Why did the North win the Civil War, but Did my great-grandfather fight in the Civil War? And they did so by the busload, forcing archivists to rewire …

Short Subjects: Foxes Guarding The Hen House: Archivists In Special Collections, William L. Joyce

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

While deciding on a title for this presentation, I selected one that was less provocative than that which initially occurred to me, the first iteration being: "Foxes Guarding the Hen House: The Coming Archival Takeover of Special Collections." I decided against this title for two reasons: first, it overstates the current situation and likely future condition of research IIbraries· generally, and special collections units in particular; and, second, it. only exacerbates the attitudinal problem that I believe all of us need to acknowledge.

Declassification Of Presidential Papers: The Eisenhower Library's Experience, David Haight Jan 1989

Declassification Of Presidential Papers: The Eisenhower Library's Experience, David Haight

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In 1972, eleven years after Dwight D. Eisenhower left the White House, archivists at the Eisenhower Library began processing his high-level presidential papers. The library submitted its first mandatory declassification review request to United States government agencies in 1973; sixteen years later this declassification process continues with no completion date in sight. The Eisenhower Library's experience demonstrates that declassifying recent presidential papers is difficult, expensive, and often frustrating both for the requestor and the library.


The Provenance Of Provenance In Germanic Areas, Maynard Brichford Jan 1989

The Provenance Of Provenance In Germanic Areas, Maynard Brichford

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The conventional story is that the principle of provenance was "formulated at the French National Archives" in the 1820s and adopted gradually in nineteenth century Europe as a response to the necessity to organize archival material for scholarly research. Based on the 1841 French statement concerning respect des fonds in departmental archives, the Prussian edict of 1881, the publication of the classical and neutral formulation by Muller, Feith, and Fruin in 1898, and the international ratification at the Brussels Conference in 1910, the principle of provenance became a governing factor in archival arrangement.

Short Subjects: When Archivist Meets Architect, Donald B. Schewe

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Most archivists are better prepared to file and retrieve blueprints than to read them, more comfortable with COM (Computer Output Microfiche) than CAD (Computer Assisted Design), and better prepared to discuss linear feet of documents than square feet of floor space. Yet archival repositories do not spring up full-blown, and if the space an archival facility is to occupy is going to be utilitarian and provide for the various specialized needs of an archives, the archivist must become involved with the design process. In practical fact this means working with an architect either to design new space or to refurbish …

Short Subjects: Sunshine State Showpieces: Alligator-Skin Bindings In The Florida Archives, Hal Hubener

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists are primarily concerned with the informational value of records. Sometimes, however, that emphasis on information is so great that other properties, such as intrinsic value, are ignored. Materials have intrinsic value if they possess qualities that make their original form the only archivally acceptable one for preservation. These qualities may be physical or intellectual; that is, they may relate to the material object itself or to the information contained in it. Books, for example, can have intrinsic value because of several unique or curious features: paper, imprints, watermarks, illustrations, or bindings.

Harper's Ferry Revisited: The Role Of Congressional Staff Archivists In Implementing The Congressional Papers Project Report, Faye Phillips

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The 1978 Conference on the Research Use and Disposition of Senators' Papers affirmed the value inherent in senatorial papers. In the years since the conference, archivists and senate staff have struggled with preservation and use questions relating to those papers. In a continuing effort to answer such questions, the Dirksen Congressional Center and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) sponsored a conference on congressional papers at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia in 1985. The final Congressional Papers Project Reportsummarizes the findings of the Harpers Ferry conference and makes recommendations to the NHPRC on funding congressional papers projects. Germane …
