Review Essay: The Archivist's Search For Grant Fundings, Timothy Walch

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The search for foundations and funding sources for archival or manuscript projects can be frustrating and confusing. By one estimate, there are fifty thousand foundations and agencies in the United States providing funds for all manner of projects . As if to make matters worse, the wealth of information available on these foundations and agencies can easily overwhelm the uninitiated. How can anyone hope to sort out the agencies potentially interested in archives and manuscripts from such an enormous number of sources of funding? The search need not be a burden if archivists use common sense, carefully evaluate potential funding …

Archives And The Child: Educational Services In Great Britain And Ireland, Ron Chepesiuk

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

One of the most significant features of post-World War II archival development has been the tremendous increase in the number and variety of researchers. Archives users are no longer an elite clientele, the scholar involved with traditional areas of historical research--political, economic, and military history. Within the discipline of history itself, there are now a wide variety of researchers, working in many different areas, who avail themselves of the resources of archival institutions. Other scholars, including sociologists, economists, geographers and even scientists, are now using archival sources to support their research projects.

The Public's Right To Know And The Individual's Right To Be Private, Ruth Simmons

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The central archival concern is the preservation of the record and access to that record. If archivists wish to be taken seriously as professionals, they must actively participate in resolving the conflict between the public's right of access to part of that record and the right of the individual to privacy and the protection of confidentiality. Having this in a code of ethics is only a first step. Resolution of this conflict is made necessary by research in current history, the size of twentieth century collections, and the data being collected in state, federal, and private data banks.

Short Subjects: Collecting At The 1982 World's Fair, Sally Ripatti

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

When the World's Fair came to Tennessee (1 May-31 October 1982), it brought an opportunity for the staff of the McClung Historical Collection of the Knoxville-Knox County Public Library to collect small, ephemeral fair-related items. There is a scarcity of such items from the city's early exposition experiences--the Appalachian Expositions of 1910 and 1911 and the National Conservation Exposition twenty years later. This led to thoughts on the needs of future researchers and how easily similar requests might be met with relatively little effort in the present.

The Need For Comprehensive Records Programs In Local Government: Learning By Mistakes In Baltimore, 1947-1982, Richard J. Cox

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Much has been written about the need to manage records and information and to provide systematic programs for the identification, preservation, and use of historical records, and to do both efficiently. Most of this literature, starting with the unfortunate schism between the archivists and records managers in the mid-1950s, has stressed the positive aspects of a full records program. However, perhaps more attention needs to be paid to the unfortunate results of records programs skewed one way or another. After all, learning by mistakes is often more effective.

The Provenance Of Social Work Case Records: Implications For Archival Appraisal And Access, David Klaassen

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Privacy became a public issue during the 1970s to an extent that was unprecedented in American history. In retrospect it now seems inevitable that an information society, with its new-found ability to store, manipulate, link, and retrieve vast quantities of information, would have to contend with abuse of information. Threats to and concerns about privacy predate the computer, of course, but it was the emergence of massive machine readable data systems that gave rise to the recent wave of legislation, at both the federal and state levels, designed to regulate the collection and use of personal information.

Social Service Programs: Appraisal Of State And Local Records, David Levine

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

Archivists have for many years expressed concern about appraising records that may be duplicated, in one form or another, at more than one level of government. To illustrate some of these problems and concerns, social service records were selected as the focus of this article, although the topic could just as easily have been labor records, highway records, or the records of any other function under the jurisdiction of more than one level of government. This analysis will answer two questions central to the appraisal of social service case files. First, is the information contained in case files statistically summarized …

Access To Church Records: Trinity Church, An Example, Phyllis Barr

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

One of the constant problems facing archivists is the tension created between the twin goals of access and the right to privacy. As a result of state and national freedom of information acts and debate in the postWatergate era about sunshine laws, this problem has come into the forefront of discussion in recent years. Although private institutions are not subject to these laws, neither have they been immune from questions regarding access. For the church archivist, the conflict between making records accessible and, yet, protecting the privacy of the church's members can pose real dilemmas. It is necessary, therefore, to …

Appraisal Strategies For Machine-Readable Case Files, Ross J. Cameron

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

The increasing use of computers in both administrative record keeping and in social science research challenges archivists to reevaluate previous appraisals of many types of records. The creation of computerized data bases which contain information from legal, criminal, medical, welfare, and other investigatory, regulatory, client, and personnel files has brought case files into this group of records which must be reappraised. Although they may include the same subject matter as textual case files, machine-readable case files may be appraised differently because of the media on which they are recorded and the amount of information they contain. This new media greatly …

Short Subjects: Archives And The Teaching Of History, Thomas T. Spencer

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

In writing about the relationship and common interests shared by archivists and historians, scholars have focused primarily on research in archival repositories and the mutual concern for the preservation of valuable historical documents. Little has been noted about the role archives can play for those who teach history. Besides presenting research opportunities for scholars, archives provide a classroom where students from grade school through college can study and learn history by using manuscripts, photographs, oral history transcripts, audiovisual tapes, and other archival material.

Short Subjects: Self-Indexing Contemporary Photograph Collections, Bill Sumners

Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists

A review of current library and archival literature on the cataloging of photographs illustrates the diverse methods of arranging and describing visual records. Photographic collections range in size from a handful of old pictures to collections housing hundreds of thousands of photographs and negatives. As varied as the size of photograph collections, there also seems to be as many different cataloging and arrangement schemes. While most cataloging methods have unique features, they usually can be categorized in three types of retrieval systems: (l) card catalog, (2) image- bearing cards, and (3) self- indexed collections. This is an explanation of the …
