A Case Study: The Archivist As Activist At The Northwestern University Library's Women's Collection, Sarah Sherman

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The Women's Collection at the Northwestern University Library is like the triathlete: it attempts to engage in that which only extraordinary people or fools try. Like the triathlete, it is sustained by the goal it has set for itself. The Women's Collection documents the activities of activists in the women's liberation movement by collecting materials generated by these activists. The "engagement" or involvement of the curator of the collection is critical to this enterprise, because of the nature of the work. In addition to preservation, which will not be discussed here, there are four primary areas of activity which are …

Indexing Archival Films: Alaska Archival Motion Picture Program, Steven Walsh, David Hales, Judith Diamondstone

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Since the turn of the twentieth century, the state of Alaska has attracted professional and amateur filmmakers eager to document the northern wilderness and its inhabitants. Existing films on Alaska include thousands of feet of historically precious, unedited footage as well as studio productions; they are in demand by research specialists, educators, and filmmakers, as well as nonprofessional Alaskan citizens. Responding to that demand, administrators of the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks launched the Alaska Archival Motion Picture Program to preserve film footage on Alaska and the circumpolar regions and to make it available to a …

The Politics Of Protest Collections: Developing Social Action Archives, Sarah Cooper

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In this article, the term politics is used in a broad sense to suggest that there are definite, though not always explicit, assumptions and values affecting the nature and extent of the documentary record preserved on social movements in this era. Though of main concern in this discussion is how values affect the collecting of materials on radical social change, the value systems under which archivists operate affect any kind of collecting endeavor.

Fitting In: The Automation Of The Archives At Northwestern University, Patricia Cloud

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

By now the archival community has begun in earnest, though not always cheerfully, to participate in that special sector of the information revolution which involves the MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) formats created by the Library of Congress. Most especially, many archivists are beginning to make use, or planning to begin to make use, of the recently published USMARC Archival and Manuscripts Control format, generally known as the MARC-AMC format, or simply AMC.

Documenting The Gay Rights Movement, Elizabeth Knowlton Jr., Lofton Wilson

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists must take an active role in collecting gay records. They cannot depend on traditional, passive techniques to document either the gay rights movement or the lives of homosexuals in America--unless they are so naive as to expect these records to appear miraculously on their shelves. More likely, as with other social reform movements, records will be lost in the daily living of people who have too little time and money to document and observe the immediacy of their lives.

The Acetate Negative Survey, David G. Horvath

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Beginning in the early 1970s curators, librarians, and archivists in charge of collections containing historical photographic negatives began to notice that certain portions of their collections were beginning to display serious deterioration. The damage observed typically included badly distorted negatives showing severe shrinkage. Also, because of the base shrinkage, the various layers of the film laminate were becoming separated, making the negative unprintable. The smell of acetic acid accompanied this phenomenon.

Because these negatives had been manufactured relatively recently, it was obvious that these negatives were not on cellulose nitrate base and that they were in fact "safety" negatives. At …
