The Future of Archival History James O"Toole More than a dozen years ago, the archival educator and writer Richard Cox outlined the development of American archival history and offered some suggestions for the work that still needed to be done in that field .1 Drawing on a range of publications, from the obscure to the well-known , he surveyed a century of writing in this country on the history of the archives profession, its people, and its institutions, as that history had appeared in monographs and in scholarly journals of state, regional, and national circulation. For all the output, however, Cox concluded that the coverage was uneven in terms of quantity and quality, a "truly lamentable" situation that left us as archivists with virtually everything yet to be known about the history and meaning of what we do. -

Lisa Cant Final Draft of Senior Thesis Professor Senocak C4997 04/12/2012 How the Preservation of Archives During WWII Led to a Radical Reformation of Strategic Intelligence Efforts Captured documents invariably furnish important and reliable information concerning the enemy which makes it possible to draw conclusions as to his organization, strength, and intentions and which may facilitate our war effort materially. -Captured German Order of the Day, as quoted in MIRS History.1 In 1943, in the midst of World War Two, the Allies established what was perhaps the most unusual and unexpected army unit of the war: the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives army unit (MFA&A), created not so much to further the war effort but specifically to address the fate of culturally significant objects. The unit notably placed archivists and art specialists within advancing American and British army units.2 Drawn from existing army divisions these volunteers had as their mission the safeguarding of works of art, monumental buildings, and— more significantly for this study—archives, for the preserved archives ultimately produced intelligence that was valuable both to the ongoing war effort and for the post-war administration of Allied occupied Germany. In order to achieve their mission effectively, the embedded archivists had to be on the front lines, as this was where the most damage could be expected to happen. This was also incidentally where the freshest information could be found. This paper will focus on the archives, what they produced, and what happened to them once they were captured. Although the MFA&A division was initially created to find looted objects and protect culturally relevant material including archives, the Military Intelligence Research Section (MIRS), a joint British and American program, recognized the possible intelligence benefits that 1 AGAR-S doc. -

Japan's New Security Partnership-Program.Pdf
Social Science Research Institute Workshop “Japan’s New Security Partnerships” 5th - 6th November 2015 International Christian University, Dialogue House Main Organizers: Wilhelm M. Vosse (ICU) and Paul Midford (NTNU) Objective/Significance: The objective of the workshop is to offer a critical view at recent changes of Japanese foreign and security policy in general, and its alliance and security partnership initiatives, particularly with other Asian countries including the Republic of Korea, the ARF, but also Australia, India, the European Union, and NATO. While most conferences and workshops on Japanese foreign and security policy focus on US-Japan relations, this workshop will focus on non-US partners. The workshop is organized in pairs of speakers representing Japan and its core new security partners. The main idea is to critically review the reasons to engage, benefits, and potentials risks of these security dyads as they stand today, and what there future trajectory might be. The program lists draft titles for each speaker, which should be considered as a guiding question for your paper. The final title for our book can certainly reflect your main findings more closely, however, the given titles could perhaps be used as subtitles, so that the intention of the book is more clearly reflected in the book chapter titles. The workshop is open to a limited number of graduate school students (mostly in peace and security studies), and a limited number of invited scholars from Japan. If you happened to know a graduate student who is in Japan in early November who might be interested to audit the workshop, the organizers would appreciate, if you could let us know. -

This study sheds lights on the effects of agglomeration and firm characteristics upon the complementary relationship between FDI and import of intermediate input from home country, which has been overlooked in the literature. Estimating the duration model of Japanese affiliates’ input trade by using parent–affiliate, product- level data from 2000 to 2006, we found while firms in agglomerated regions with more foreign affiliates shorten its duration, small firms import for a longer duration.

CITIZEN COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE: GERMANY AND THE U.S. EDUCATION University of Berlin: Ph.D. in philosophy, history and languages, Berlin, Germany, 1920 AREAS OF ARCHIVAL SPECIALIZATION History of archives; archival education; records management; international archives. ACHIEVEMENTS IN ARCHIVAL FIELD At American University, Washington D.C., Posner helped establish one of the first educational programs for archival training in the United States. He was also instrumental in efforts to capture and preserve archival records and cultural treasures in Axis-occupied territories during and after World War II. Over the course of his career, Posner published seminal works on archival science and history.

C., 1939 - 1961 HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY Ernst Posner was born in Prussia in 1892 and raised in a Lutheran family with Jewish-Christian ancestry. He joined the German infantry during World War I. Posner was wounded in Poland and fought on both Russian and French fronts, eventually achieving the rank of lieutenant before leaving the army in 1918. He worked in the Prussian state archives for fifteen years before he was forced to resign in 1935, after the Nazi takeover and passage of the Nuremberg laws classifying and discriminating against Jewish citizens of Germany. -
Counterpoint
Counterpoint The Archivist's Two-way Stretch* Several years ago, President Ali Soilih of the Comoro Islands, after seizing power in the former French territories, fired most of the civil servants, had all the government records hauled into the town square of the capital, and there burned them. He then declared a "new start".' Soilih was acting as a "records manager" and was exercising the function of records disposal. It is all very well to smile at Soilih's precipitous action, but it differs only in its comprehensiveness and visibility from what records managers do every day. What is the purpose of a records manager? From the historian's point of view, it should be, to quote Renee Doehaerd: "satisfying the curiosity of the historians of the future".' From the government administrator's point of view, it should be responsiveness to the administrative requirements of economy and efficiency. Although the archival profession was created, led, and nurtured by historians, historians are now, as the Council of the American Historical Association stated in its Resolution concerning the status of the National Archives, 27 December 1966, "greatly outnumbered by those trained in the new techniques of records managementfl.%re the qualifications of a records manager identical with those of an archivist trained in the traditional historical mold? Not really. Ernst Posner's 1957 presidential address to the Society of American Archivists (SAA), in analyzing the results of the Society's ques- tionnaire to its members, noted but a single doctorate among the one hundred and twelve records administrator^.^ Archivists have grappled with the problem of the conflicting values of traditional archivists and the new breed of records managers in various ways, but almost invariably have attempted to ignore or paper-over real differences in favor of an assumed unity of purpose and outlook.
