Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Archives have the potential to change people’s lives. They are ‘a fundamental bulwark of our democracy, our culture, our community and personal identity’.' They are created in the first instance for the ‘conduct of business and to support accountability’, but they also ‘meet the requirements of society for transparency and the protection of rights’, they underpin citizen’s rights in a democratic state and are the raw material of our history and memory.^ Archivists and records managers are the professionals responsible for ensuring that these qualities are protected and exploited for the public good. Do they belong to a mature profession, equipped for this challenge in the 2T‘ century? This thesis seeks to understand how the archive profession in the United Kingdom (particularly in England) developed during the 19'"’ and 20^'’ centuries by examining the political and legislative context for archives, analysing how archival institutions developed in central and local government, business and in universities to preserve and provide access to records and archives, by considering the growth and influence of professional associations and support bodies and reviewing the education and training of archivists and records managers.

    1 Towards Professionalism? Archives and Archivists in England

    Towards Professionalism? Archives and Archivists in England in the 20th Century Elizabeth Jane Shepherd University College London PhD in Archive Studies 2004 1 Abstract Archives have the potential to change people’s lives. They are ‘a fundamental bulwark of our democracy, our culture, our community and personal identity’.1 They are created in the first instance for the ‘conduct of business and to support accountability’, but they also ‘meet the requirements of society for transparency and the protection of rights’, they underpin citizen’s rights in a democratic state and are the raw material of our history and memory.2 Archivists and records managers are the professionals responsible for ensuring that these qualities are protected and exploited for the public good. Do they belong to a mature profession, equipped for this challenge in the 21st century? This thesis seeks to understand how the archive profession in the United Kingdom (particularly in England) developed during the 19th and 20th centuries by examining the political and legislative context for archives, analysing how archival institutions developed in central and local government, business and in universities to preserve and provide access to records and archives, by considering the growth and influence of professional associations and support bodies and reviewing the education and training of archivists and records managers. None of these themes has previously been addressed in a comprehensive study and together they help answer the question of whether archivists display the characteristics of a fully mature profession or whether it is still an emerging profession. In conclusion the thesis makes recommendations to guide the development of the UK archive profession in the 21st century to enable it to reach its full potential and ensure that archives and archivists play their proper role in society.

  • Chapter Ten Early Modern Oxford and Cambridge

    Chapter Ten Early Modern Oxford and Cambridge

    John Willinsky, The Intellectual Properties of Learning: A Prehistory from Saint Jerome to John Locke (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2018). OPEN ACCESS FINAL DRAFT Chapter Ten Early Modern Oxford and Cambridge The “final draft” of this chapter has been made open access through a special arrangement with the University of Chicago Press, reflecting their interest in exploring the access themes raised in the book. Note that the final draft, which has benefited from rounds of peer review and revision before being accepted for publication by the press, differs at a great many points from the published text of the book. The book benefited from the press’ excellent copyediting, as well as my revisions and proofreading (with the help of colleagues) in that process. Those who are unable to obtain a copy of the published book from which to cite may wish to quote from and reference the final draft of this chapter as follows: John Willinsky, The Intellectual Properties of Learning: A Prehistory from Saint Jerome to John Locke (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2018), open access final draft, chapter 10, available from https://intellectualproperties.stanford.edu. 1 Chapter 10 Early Modern Oxford and Cambridge The founding of Christ Church in 1525 was a revealing moment in the gradual, if not glacial, move of the University of Oxford from a medieval to an Early Modern institution. As colleges go, Christ Church is something of a Reformation bastard-child. It was born of the dissolution of a religious house that stood for centuries above the meadow where the River Cherwell meets the Thames in Oxford.

    The Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford Ned Irwin One of the world's great academic libraries, the Bodleian is both a unique institution (in its contents and arrangement) and one familiar with the problems affecting all modern academic libraries. It finds itself blessed by its past, being rich in collections of rare books, illuminated manuscripts, and personal papers. Yet it is burdened by this tradition when forced to remain a 100 percent retention library in a rapidly expanding information society or a nonlending facil­ ity as information collectors grow more interdependent.
