  • BRITISH COUNTERINSURGENCY in CYPRUS, ADEN, and NORTHERN IRELAND Brian Drohan a Dissertation Submitted to the Facu
    RIGHTS AT WAR: BRITISH COUNTERINSURGENCY IN CYPRUS, ADEN, AND NORTHERN IRELAND Brian Drohan A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Susan D. Pennybacker Wayne E. Lee Klaus Larres Cemil Aydin Michael C. Morgan © 2016 Brian Drohan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Brian Drohan: Rights at War: British Counterinsurgency in Cyprus, Aden, and Northern Ireland (Under the direction of Susan D. Pennybacker) This study analyzes the role of human rights activism during three post-1945 British counterinsurgency campaigns in Cyprus (1955-1959), Aden (1963-1967), and the Northern Ireland “Troubles” (emphasizing 1969-1976). Based on material gathered from 15 archives in four countries as well as oral history records and personal papers, this study demonstrates that human rights activism shaped British operational decisions during each of these conflicts. Activists mobilized ideas of human rights to restrain counterinsurgency violence by defining certain British actions as illegal or morally unjustifiable. Although British forces often prevented activists from restraining state violence, activists forced government officials and military commanders to develop new ways of covering up human rights abuses. Focusing the analytical lens on activists and the officials with whom they interacted places rights activists on the counterinsurgency “battlefield”

  • 1 Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation1 Astrid Swenson I. Re
    Post-Print of Astrid Swenson, Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation, Past and Present, Supplement 10, 2015. Crusader Heritages and Imperial Preservation1 Astrid Swenson I. Re-entangling histories Visitors keen to see French heritage in a nutshell need not strive far from the Eiffel Tower. At the Museum of French Monuments, reopened in 2007 as part of the National City of Architecture and Heritage, one can experience the history of French architecture, sculpture and wall painting in three dimensions. A ‘point of reference for all audiences, permitting to understand the historic roots of the most contemporary aims in architectural creation and urban policies’, the museum’s own development is less visible.2 Founded in 1879 as a cast collection for the training of architects and the education of the public, the displays always consisted of models and copies. In contrast to originals, these copies could be ordered to demand, allowing the curators to create an ideal museum, easily adaptable to changing understandings of heritage. Its history is therefore a microcosm for observing broader transformations in the heritage canon. For a long time, this canon was not limited to the art of the Hexagon. The institution was in fact founded as the Museum of Comparative Sculpture, juxtaposing French Medieval to Ancient and foreign works of art. It was only in the 1930s that it was rebranded as the Museum of French Monuments. Yet despite the new title, the display was not confined to works originating in metropolitan France, but rather explicitly included material that demonstrated the spread of French influence beyond national borders.

The Danish National Archives hosted the event which focused on common challenges and different strategies for e-government, digital preservation and accessibility of cultural heritage. On 29 May – 1 June 2012, the Danish National Archives gathered the European elite of archivists and conservation experts in Copenhagen for a number of international meetings and conferences: "European Board of National Archivists (EBNA) Conference”, "Document Lifecycle Management (DLM) Conference" and "European Branch of the International Council of Archives (EURBICA) Conference", etc. The Danish National Archives hosted these events, which took place at the two addresses of the National Archives in Copenhagen and at the Royal Library. The main theme was: "Common challenges and different strategies in the digital society". The participants of EBNA meeting in Copenhagen, on May 29, 2012 (photo: the Danish National Archives) Common challenges in Europe But why focus on e-government, digital preservation and archival heritage at a European level? The answer is simple: In Denmark and throughout Europe we face many of the same developments and challenges as our institutions get more and 2 more digitalized, and some archives even receive more digital records than traditional paper records.

  • An Empirical Atudy on the National Archives Websites
    Metadata and its importance in supporting access to digital archival content: an empirical atudy on the national archives websites Dr. Elsayed Salah El Sawy Assistant professor of E-Archives and documents Libraries and Information, Tanta University, Egypt Information studies department, Sultan Qabos University, Oman [email protected] Abstract This study aims to analyze and evaluate the metadata on the National Archives Websites, and the extent of the keenness of the National Archives on quality in creating metadata compared to the international standards in this regard, and practices adopted in the National Archives in developed countries (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, ...etc.) The analysis included (57) National Archives; and it revealed the weakness of using metadata tags in these Archives in general and in Arab National Archives in particular. 26 Archives Only (45.6% of Archives analyzed in this study) included their site (1-2) metadata tage(s); and the Archives that established most of metadata tags are National Archives of Canada, United Kingdom, Spain and Australia, respectively. However, the most commonly used metadata tags in National Archives websites are the "Title" tag in a percentage of 26%, the "Description" tag in a percentage of 10.6%, the "keywords" tag in a percentage of 8.8%, and the "Generator" tag in a percentage of 5.8%. Some metadata tags also contained non- reflective values of the Website objective content. The study concluded by offering several recommendations that could contribute to tackle the deficiencies it previously revealed, and which affect the ultimate use of digital content of the National Archives Websites, and to ensure an efficient accessibility by search engines.
