In 1924, Canadian Dominion Archivist Arthur Doughty (1860–1936) characterized archives as “the gift of one generation to another.”
This essay takes these words seriously. It sets aside the common habit of thinking of archival work in terms of “keeping”
and “preserving” and experiments with—re-imagines—archives as a form of gift giving. However, as a growing body of scholarship
across numerous disciplines is discovering, gift giving is a complex social act. Thus, construing archives as a form of gift
opens up new avenues of critical inquiry into archives’ unique temporal consciousness and its importance to accounts of the
establishment and unmaking of any social order. This article explores the nature of archival consciousness and its place in
social theory. 相似文献

Archivists and historians usually consider archives as repositories of historical sources and the archivist as a neutral custodian.
Sociologists and anthropologists see “the archive” also as a system of collecting, categorizing, and exploiting memories.
Archivists are hesitantly acknowledging their role in shaping memories. I advocate that archival fonds, archival documents,
archival institutions, and archival systems contain tacit narratives which must be deconstructed in order to understand the
meanings of archives.
Revision of a paper presented, on the invitation of the Master's Programme in Archival Studies, Department of History, University
of Manitoba, in the History Department Colloquium series of the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, 20 February, 2001. Some
of the arguments were used earlier in two papers I presented in the seminar “Archives, Documentation and the Institutions
of Social Memory”, organized by the Bentley Historical Library and the International Institute of the University of Michigan,

Recent scholarship in archival studies has employed “non-traditional” modes of analysis to theorize the nature of the record
and recordkeeping in organizational contexts. In that tradition, this paper discusses the author's use of ethnographic methodology
to study recordkeeping in one academic research laboratory. The paper explores how ethnography contributes to our understanding
of the laboratory as a recordkeeping organization and the intersections of scientific practice and the kinds of records scientists
create and use. The paper calls for more analysis of recordkeeping as an information infrastructure and inquiry into the nature
of the record in other kinds of knowledge production environments. 相似文献

Archival theory in Italy has a long tradition, going back as far as the second half of the nineteenth century, and with roots
in the 17th and 18th centuries. Central theme in the theory is themetodo storico, the principle of provenance, for the first time expressed in the late 19th century by Bonaini and Bongi. In the following
decades archivists like Casanova and Cencetti were among the leading authors. Elio Lodolini assigned himself the task to synthesize
ideas and notions, within a clear distinctions between records (registratura) and archives. One of the overall characteristics
of the rich Italian literature is the stressing of the cultural value of archives.
I have twice treated before the theme of archival theory in Italy from the fifties up to the nineties. The first time on the
occasion of the 25th anniversary of theScuola speciale per Archivisti e Bibliotecari dell'Università degli Studi “La Sapienza” di Roma in 1989, when there was an international round table on archival science in the State Archives of Rome. My essay,Italian archival science today, has been published in the proceedings of the meeting (cfr. Donato Tamblé,L'archivistica in Italia oggi, inStudi sull'archivistica, by Roma: Elio Lodolini, 1992). Some years later, in 1993, I published a book on contemporary Italian archival theory (Donato
Tamblé,La teoria archivistica italiana contemporanea (1950–1990). Profilo storico-critico (Roma, 1993) which was the sequel to the volume of Elio Lodolini on Italian archival history — (Lineamenti di storia dell'archivistica italiana (Roma, 1991). The purpose of my book was that of locating and identifying the scientific object of archival science as it
developed and was clarified in the thinking and in the lucubration of the contemporary Italian Archivists. 相似文献

This article chronicles the rapid expansion since 1990 of research within archival science and characterizes contemporary
archival research culture. It examines the role and state of key factors that have led to the development of the existing
research infrastructure, such as growth in doctoral education, forums for presenting and publishing research, the numbers
and size of graduate archival education programs, availability of diverse funding for research, transdisciplinary and international
research collaborations, and application of innovative research methods and tools appropriate for investigating increasingly
complex and wide-ranging research questions. An Appendix articulates and names archival research methods, including those
derived and adapted from other disciplines, with a view to adding to the “literary warrant” for archival research methods,
promoting the rigorous application of research design and methods, and providing sources for the teaching of research methods
for professional and research careers. The article concludes with recommendations about how to sustain and extend the emerging
research front. 相似文献

In the last ten years, influential voices within and on the periphery of the record keeping community have succeeded in establishing
the preservation of “evidence” as the governing purpose of contemporary archival theory and methods development. Afterglow
offers a critique of the concept of evidence in archival discourse. Its main contention is that one can put records into evidence;
one cannot set out to put evidence into records. The argument rests on the following assertions: (1) current discussions of
evidence rest on a blindness to certain contradictions embedded in claims that record keeping principally involves evidence
keeping, or “evidence management”; (2) a politics of temporality, under which an interplay of disciplinary knowledge claims
and professional interest is discernible, helps to account for the contemporary rhetoric describing the relationship between
“record” and “evidence”, and (3) the late-twentieth century legal, political, and cultural climate, along with the technological
environment, explain the increasing prominence of “evidence” in these knowledge claims and professional ambitions. The essay
concludes with recommendations for addressing these issues.
Thanks go to Terry Cook, Visiting Professor in the Archival Studies Programme, Department of History, University of Manitoba,
and co-editor of this series of essays, for his close reading and detailed comments on this essay. Particularly invaluable
was his knowledge of historical and contemporary archival thinking on the notion of evidence. 相似文献

Analyzes attitudes and use of archives by post-colonial scholars who find that colonial records offer the voices of the master
narrative but do not reflect the voices of the oppressed and voiceless. Argues that framing records within social provenance
and a ‘community of records’ offers archival solutions to the dilemmas of locating all voices within the spaces of records.
“As for what we were like before we met you, I no longer care. No periods of time over which my ancestor held sway, no documentation
of complex civilizations, is any comfort to me. Even if I really came from people who were living like monkeys in trees, it
was better to be that than what happened to, me, what I became after I met you.”

Colonial archives and the arts of governance 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Ann Laura Stoler 《Archival Science》2002,2(1-2):87-109
Anthropologists engaged in post-colonial studies are increasingly adopting an historical perspective and using archives. Yet
their archival activity tends to remain more an extractive than an ethnographic one. Documents are thus still invoked piecemeal
to confirm the colonial invention of certain practices or to underscore cultural claims, silent. Yet such mining of thecontent of government commissions, reports, and other archival sources rarely pays attention to their peculiar placement andform. Scholars need to move from archive-assource to archive-as-subject. This article, using document production in the Dutch
East Indies as an illustration, argues that scholars should view archives not as sites of knowledge retrieval, but of knowledge
production, as monuments of states as well as sites of state ethnography. This requires a sustained engagement with archives
as cultural agents of “fact” production, of taxonomies in the making, and of state authority. What constitutes the archive,
what form it takes, and what systems of classification and epistemology signal at specific times are (and reflect) critical
features of colonial politics and state power. The archive was the supreme technology of the late nineteenth-century imperial
state, a repository of codified beliefs that clustered (and bore witness to) connections between secrecy, the law, and power. 相似文献

This paper focuses on a fresh and fair way to determine a ranking of science journals according to the “number of citations-to
and articles published,” data used by SCI Journal Citation Reports of ISI to determine journal ranking by “impact factor.”
Impact is considered a latent variable defined by a set of items (citations and articles published). The theoretical background
is Item Response Theory, which suggests that, if we can understand how each item in a set of items operates with an object,
then we can estimate a measure for the object. The Rasch model is the most common formulation of that theory. This technique
is here applied to the citations and articles published of 62 medical journals (objects) to provide a Rasch measure for these
journals which is compared with the current “impact factor” computation. 相似文献

This paper reviews the archival process at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), a repository
of digital social science data, and maps ICPSR’s Ingest and Access operations to the Open Archival Information System (OAIS)
Reference Model. The paper also assesses ICPSR’s conformance with the archival responsibilities of “trusted” OAIS repositories,
with the proviso that audit criteria for archival certification are still under development. The ICPSR to OAIS mapping exercise
has benefits for the larger social science archiving community because it provides an interpretation of the reference model
in the quantitative social science environment and points to preservation-related issues that may be salient for other social
science archives. Building on the archives’ long tradition of shared norms and cooperation, we may ultimately be able to design
a federated system of trusted social science repositories that provides access to the global heritage.

The history of the creation and development of the VINITI RAS “Geography” reference journal from 1954 to 2008 is considered. The changes in retrofunds and dynamics of the distribution of the overall
quantity of documents in the reference journal/database have been followed in relation to the changes in the content contained
in the issues during the period of time under consideration. The document information flow of the “ Geography ” database during 1991–2008 was analyzed statistically. 相似文献

The archival sliver: Power, memory, and archives in South Africa 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Verne Harris 《Archival Science》2002,2(1-2):63-86
Far from being a simple reflection of reality, archives are constructed windows into personal and collective processes. They
at once express and are instruments of prevailing relations of power. Verne Harris makes these arguments through an account
of archives and archivists in the context of South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy. The account is deliberately
shaped around three themes — race, power, and public records. While he concedes that the constructedness of memory and the
dimension of power are most obvious in the extreme circumstances of oppression and rapid transition to democracy, he argues
that these are realities informing archives in all circumstances. He makes an appeal to archivists to enchant their work by
engaging these realities and by turning always towards the call of and for justice.
This essay draws heavily on four articles published previously by me: “Towards a Culture of Transparency: Public Rights of
Access to Official Records in South Africa”,American Archivist 57.4 (1994); “Redefining Archives in South Africa: Public Archives and Society in Transition, 1990–1996”,Archivaria 42 (1996); “Transforming Discourse and Legislation: A Perspective on South Africa's New National Archives Act”,ACARM Newsletter 18 (1996); and “Claiming Less, Delivering More: A Critique of Positivist Formulations on Archives in South Africa”,Archivaria 44 (1997). I am grateful to Ethel Kriger (National Archives of South Africa) and Tim Nuttall (University of Natal) for offering
sometimes tough comment on an early draft of the essay. I remain, of course, fully responsible for the final text. I presented
a version of it in the “Refiguring the Archive” seminar series, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, October 1998.
That version was published in revised form in Carolyn Hamilton et al.,Refiguring the Archive (Cape Town: David Philip, 2002). 相似文献

A first introduction to archival science 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Theo Thomassen 《Archival Science》2001,1(4):373-385
This first introduction, written for educational purposes, is meant to be a concise basic text in which the core concepts
of archival science are coherently defined and explained, in a non-polemical way and departing from a de-institutionalised
point of view. It is not intended to support or reject any single theory, but to provide an overview. It should be read as
a synthesis of a variety of shared ideas and views, not as a manifesto of a new approach to archival science. If there is
anything new to it, it might be located in the coherent and integrated presentation. In this primer of archival science annotation
has been avoided.
The first of several versions of this First Introduction was written in August 1995. It was meant to meet the need of the
Netherlands Archiefschool for a basic text on archival science which could support its different programs for archival education
and training. After ample discussion with the archival science teachers of the Archiefschool, it was introduced in the 1995/1996
courses. From then on, it has been used in almost all courses and classes on archival science on the undergraduate, graduate
and postgraduate levels and in several training and retraining programs of the Archiefschool. The design of the first version
has been maintained in all subsequent versions, including this last one. Still, the text has frequently been adapted as a
result of discussions with students and colleagues, in and outside the school. This first English version can almost be deemed
as a collective product. Of the numerous colleagues who were engaged in this discussion and contributed to the text, special
mention has to be made of Peter Horsman, Hans Scheurkogel, Hans Hofman, Eric Ketelaar, Herman Coppens and Kent Hayworth, who
commented the English version. For the final text and all imperfections that may still cling to it I am, of course, responsible.
An earlier version in Dutch has been published as: Theo thomassen, “Een korte introductie in de archivistiek”, in: P.J. Horsman,

Richard J. Cox 《Archival Science》2002,2(3-4):287-309
In this essay, the author ruminates on the relationship between collecting and archival appraisal. He argues that collecting
does not necessarily equal appraisal, although society and even archivists value it as an important function. The author stresses
that the critical need is for archivists to have a clear perspective, whether highly theoretical or immensely practical, of
what it is they hope to accomplish in appraising and that they need to document this process so that future researchers and
archivists can understand what archival appraisal meant. As it is, archives might become more valued as important cultural
symbols than for the records they actually hold. The notion of an “end” of collecting is in the sense that collecting is appraising,
but appraising elevated to a professional function requiring more care, deliberate thought, and self-evaluation. 相似文献

Census information of some form has been collected in Canada since the 1611 census of New France. Aboriginal people, identified
or not, have been included in these enumerations. The collection of this information has had a profound impact on Aboriginal
people and has been an element that has shaped their relationship with the dominant society. In response, Canadian Aboriginal
people have often resisted and refused to co-operate with census takers and their masters. This article is an examination
of this phenomenon focused on the censuses conducted in the post-Confederation period to the present. A census is made to
collect information on populations and individuals that can then be used to configure and shape social and political relations
between those being enumerated and the creators of the census. However, the human objects of the census are not just passive
integers and they have resisted its creation in a number of ways, including being “missing” when the census is taken, refusing
to answer the questions posed by enumerators or even driving them off Aboriginal territory. A census identifies elements of
the social order and attempts to set them in their “proper” place and those who do not wish to be part of that order may refuse
to take part. Archivists and historians must understand that the knowledge gained in a census is bound with the conditions
of own creation. This has been noted by contemporary Aboriginal researchers who often state that the archival record of their
people often distorts history and reflects the ideas and superficial observations of their Euro-Canadian creators. Changes
to the Census of Canada since 1981, have increased the participation rate and therefore changed the nature of the record.

In this introductory article, we discuss the nature of Program Evaluation, describing the concepts that underlie our formal
and informal evaluative efforts. Program Evaluation, like any deliberate inquiry process, is about learning. The process explicates
program purposes, activities, and outcomes and generates knowledge about their merit and worth. This knowledge can inform
planning and lead to program improvement. We present and discuss various definitions of Program Evaluation, focussing on its
purposes and uses. We also provide an overview of the inquiry process, grounding the search for merit and worth in the American
Evaluation Association's Guiding Principles for Evaluators. Because program evaluations are typically conducted to inform
decision makers, we discuss aspects of professional practise that contribute to the use of an evaluation.

This paper gives an overview of the archival issues that relate to digitally signed documents. First, by way of introduction,
the advanced digital signature is presented briefly. In the second part, a number of problems are discussed that present themselves
when a digital signature is used as a proof of authenticity and integrity for digital documents in general. In particular,
it is also being investigated whether it makes any sense for the archivist to digitally sign all electronic records under
his or her management. Problems relating to the (medium) long-term archiving of digitally signed documents are dealt with
in the third part. After an overview of the sticking points for long-term validation (“Archival issues”) a number of possible
solutions are discussed (“Solutions for long-term archiving”).
