Kentucky's Machine-Readable Challenge, Richard N. Belding, Larry G. Forston
Kentucky's Machine-Readable Challenge, Richard N. Belding, Larry G. Forston
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
For many reasons, the history of the management of records in machine-readable form in Kentucky state government has been short and sporadic. The Public Records Division of the state's Department for Libraries and Archives has long been aware of problems related to appraising and preserving machine-readable records (MRR), but lack of staffing and expertise has forced it to postpone confronting these issues. The widespread use of MRR by state agencies, however, has made it impossible for the division to assist them with appropriate records management and archival procedures without dealing in some way with these records.

Review Essay: Bibliographic Introduction To Optical Storage Publications For Archivists And Libraries, Glen Mcaninch
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
This bibliographic introduction is a guide to the study of optical storage in the 1980s. It is designed to enable the reader to keep current on this fast changing technology by providing an annotated list of places to look for information, rather than listing all entries for the topic. Though optical technology is several decades old, the use of optical disks for storage has been feasible on a commercial level only in the last five years.
An Administrative History Of The Disposal Of Federal Records, 1789-1949, James Gregory Bradsher
An Administrative History Of The Disposal Of Federal Records, 1789-1949, James Gregory Bradsher
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
From 1789 to 1985 the federal government has created some 170 million cubic feet of records. At the end of 1984 it had accumulated over 40 million cubic feet of records, including 1.4 million cubic feet of permanent archives in the custody of the National Archives. Thus, 130 million cubic feet of federal records have been destroyed. Most of the destruction, about 120 million cubic feet, took place subsequent to the creation of the National Archives and Records Service (NARS) in 1949 and to the passage of the Federal Records Act of 1950. The success the federal government has experienced …

Strategies For Archival Action In The 1980s And Beyond: Implementing The Saa Goals And Priorities Task Force Report, Richard J. Cox
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
This essay is written by an archivist primarily for archivists, but its content concerns a subject--the preservation of America's documentary heritage--that is important to a much wider audience. Archivists have long recognized that theirs is a profession with a broad mandate handicapped by far too limited resources. In the past few years, through a series of major investigations and reports, archivists have learned the extent of the threat to historical records in the United States caused by their profession's own weaknesses. Some will undoubtedly bristle at that last sentence and argue that numerous other reasons exist for the poor condition …

Folklore And Oral History: Exploring Subject Indexing, Pamela Dean
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Catalogs, indexes, inventories, retrieval systems, and finding aids are a major part of any archives and, as any archivist knows, they can also be a major problem--both to devise and to maintain. Handling oral materials can present some special problems, and there seems to be no one best system for repositories of folklore and oral history collections. Each institution has had to devise its own methods in response to the different types of material it contains and the different ways this material may be used. A recent project at the Northeast Archives of Folklore and Oral History (NAFOH), at the …

Short Subjects: Archives And Records Management In The Federal Government: The Post-Gsa Context, Linda Vee Pruitt
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
On 19 October 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed the National Archives and Records Administration Act of 1984, separating the National Archives from the General Services Administration (GSA) and reestablishing the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as an independent agency. This legislation attempted to resolve the two long-standing dilemmas: the relationship of archives and records management in the federal government and the placement of the National Archives within GSA.

Short Subjects: Time Management For Archivists, Joseph W. Constance Jr., Robert C. Dinwiddie
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Practically everyone writing on the subject of time management believes that the key to good management of work time is doing the most important job now. Some managers spend much energy on low-priority jobs, leaving little or no time for the really essential ones. Beginning to regain control of work time, therefore, requires an appreciation of what Alex MacKenzie has called "time wasters.l Three time wasters that are at or near the top of many lists of the most notorious--telephone use, meetings, and mail handling procedures--can be defeated using simple methods.

Documentation Strategies For The National Legislature, William W. Moss
Documentation Strategies For The National Legislature, William W. Moss
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
share a common interest in the survival of a useful record of the United States Congress, the national legislature. Historians, the Library of Congress (LC), the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Society of American Archivists (SAA), political scientists, and indeed the Congress itself, all share a need, and it is hoped a desire, for an accurate and comprehensive record of the significant activities of the national legislature and its members. These several "parties at interest," however, have tended to work in a piecemeal fashion, without common standards and certainly without a common strategy. It is even sometimes difficult …

State And Regional Archival Organizations Serve The Southeast, Virginia J.H. Cain
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The Southeast may well claim to be home to more state and regional archival activity than any other region of the United States. Six state archival organizations are headquartered in the Southeast, while two others border on this area. Two regional archival organizations affect the Southeast, and the third oldest state organization and the oldest regional organization may be found here as well.

The Appalachian Oral History Project: Then And Now, John R. Williams, Katherine R. Martin
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
The Appalachian Oral History Project (AOHP) is a product of its time, resulting from the social unrest during the Vietnam war, the Kennedy-Johnson war on poverty, and the growing awareness of grass roots history. History from the mouths of the people, as academicians and laymen alike were becoming aware, detailed events and perspectives different from those generally found in history textbooks. Political and economic events on a national or international scale often assumed an insignificant status in people's everyday lives. It was the personal event or achievement which held true meaning and historical impact for those who cared to recall.

As the twenty-first century approaches it is accompanied by dramatic changes for the South. Southerners have been inundated with demographic, technological, and social developments which have exercised and will continue to effect dramatic changes in the traditional southern life-style. Once sleeping villages have become busy cities complete with shopping malls and burgeoning industry. All white public schools, businesses, and even churches have yielded to pressures for social equality and racial integration. An equable climate and multitudinous recreational and retirement opportunities have magnetized millions of Americans from the Northeast and Midwest, luring them to the Southland. All of these developments will, …

Bit By Bit: Microcomputer Applications By Archivists In Four Southeastern States, Glen Mcaninch
Bit By Bit: Microcomputer Applications By Archivists In Four Southeastern States, Glen Mcaninch
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
As archivists in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Kentucky began to automate in the early 1980s, most found microcomputers much more to their liking than main-frame computer systems or book-oriented network systems. Few archivists in the region were using computers before microcomputers were developed in the mid-1970s. The smaller computers that were marketed during this period allowed users in the region to adapt programs easily to their individual needs at minimum cost. However, the limited capacities of the first microcomputers have pushed archivists, as they move into the 1980s, to buy larger microcomputers or small minicomputers.

Short Subjects: Entropy And Archival Disorder, Terry Abraham
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
In Spite of its direct impact on archival science, the concept of entropy has never been assimilated into the rich body of archival theory. This is undoubtedly the result of its apparent negative impact on archival activities. Entropy, according to a physicist friend of Ben Ross Schneider (author of Travels in computerland), "means ...that you can't win, you can't break even, and you can't get out of the game... " And the game is "man versus chaos."

Group Processing: Planning And Management Strategies, William E. Brown Jr.
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Group processing projects present a series of challenges which demand a wide range of technical and administrative skills from archivists. These are met with varying degrees of success. Often, this is the first opportunity for an archivist to test his knowledge and skills in a supervisory position. Professionals who lack the necessary complement of skills, or who are unable to blend these skills to fit the needs of a project, operate at a distinct disadvantage for themselves and their employers. The following discussion of group processing components outlines some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each phase and describes …

Tablets And Temples: Documents In Republican Rome, Phyllis Culham
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
It has long been taken for granted that the Roman Republic, just like the elective governments of today, placed state papers in a repository to preserve them for consultation. This is assumed both in undergraduate textbooks in Roman history and in the most respected reference works used by specialists in the field. Neither the basic texts nor the standard references hesitate to use the term archive in describing this repository. That term, in fact, is Greek and was never used by the classical Romans to describe any of their own institutions. The anachronistic use of the word in reference to …

The current century replete with a vast plethora of technology and consumer paraphernalia has witnessed the creation of the multimedia collection. The records of a person, family or organization are no longer restricted to the traditional correspondence, diaries, financial ledgers, deeds of ownership, and certificates of birth, marriage, and death but include items of a more contemporary format such as audio and video tapes, films, photographs, sound recordings, and possibly anything else that has been invented in the last fifty years. This situation has become more pronounced with materials deliberately assembled by a collector specializing in a particular subject area. …
