Acsas: Microcomputer-Based Subject Access, Lewis Cox

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The Archives of Appalachia at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) recently attempted to improve subject access to its holdings through the development of a computer-based subject access system. The project and the subject access system have been given the acronym "ACSAS" (pronounced access), for "Archival Computerized Subject Access System." This article describes the subject access system and its development and concludes with an analysis of the system and the future role of such systems.

Legal Records And Historical Gossip: The Records Of The Social Historian, Thomas F. Armstrong

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Historians who venture beyond the traditional realms of political or diplomatic history find themselves similarly venturing beyond traditional sources for their history. This has been particularly true of the social historian, who undertakes the elusive task of understanding "history from the bottom up," or history of the "inarticulate." In looking beyond those traditional sources, all manner of evidence is legitimate, subject to the usual rules of verification and professional scrutiny. For the historian tempted to use court records, there are realities with which to cope, but much enlightenment for the persistent. Initially, the court and the court records represent an …

Bureaucracy, Public Relations, And Archival Cooperation: The Preservation And Accessibility Of State Historical Site Records, Asa Rubenstein

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The records of large historical agencies embracing geographically dispersed sites pose great opportunities for historical scholarship and better management of historical properties. Unfortunately, all too often the lack of archival policy dealing with these records makes the records inaccessible and exposes them to gradual deterioration or permanent loss.

From Clay Tablets To Marc Amc: The Past, Present, And Future Of Cataloging Manuscript And Archival Collections, Harriet Ostroff

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

To create a catalog is to bestow power; whoever uses a catalog gains control and access to whatever is being cataloged. Attempts to catalog written material go back to the days of clay tablets and proceed through the preparation of catalogs for medieval monasteries, printed book and card catalogs for libraries, calendars and other finding aids for individual manuscript collections, published guides to repository holdings, and union catalogs to the most recent form: online data bases.

Short Subjects: Integration: An Archival Issue, Glen Mcaninch

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Integration, a word that has had high emotional overtones in the area of racial relations since the 1950s, is now a buzzword in automation circles. While it usually is used to refer to the combining of various types of software, it is also taking on a special meaning for archivists, librarians, and information specialists. Just as it is the dream of librarians to handle all their book transactions including selection, ordering, cataloging, and circulation on a unified automation system so, too, do archivists envision a computer system that will facilitate all archival functions.

Guest Editorial: Archives To Archives And Dust To Dust, David B. Gracy Ii

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

It's everywhere, dust is. We came from it, to it we return, and in the meantime we fight a constant battle to keep it off of objects we hold dear. Nevertheless, there is one place in all the world where, more than any other, a person expects to find dust: in an archives. People who know nothing about archives--who clearly are blank on the purpose, nature, work and service of archives in the preservation of the permanently valuable documentation of civilization--know there's dust there. There is no more pervasive cliche of our time than that papers consigned to archives moulder …

Automation In The Archives: Rlin And The Archives And Manuscript Control Format, David Weinberg

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Be it in the circulation or the cataloging department, automation systems are now something that most libraries have begun to accept if not welcome. In particular, the reference departments of many academic libraries use computer systems to serve their patrons in new ways. Over the last several years, computer networks have had a big impact on how libraries operate. The oldest of these networks, or computer utilities as they are often called, is OCLC (originally the Ohio College Library Center, now known as the Online Computer Library Center). A variety of libraries--academic, public, and private--can utilize OCLC's interlibrary loan system …

An Administrative History Of The Disposal Of Federal Records, 1950-1985, James Gregory Bradsher

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

From 1950 to 1985 the federal government experienced much success in disposing of records with insufficient retention values. During those thirty-five years some 140 million cubic feet of records were created, and some 120 million cubic feet of records were destroyed. By way of comparison, between 1789 and 1950 the federal government created less than 30 million cubic feet of records and destroyed less than 10 million cubic feet of records. To a large extent the success the federal government has experienced in efficiently and effectively destroying temporary records, particularly during the past four decades, is the result of the …
