Glossary 71 Selected Bibliography , 71*. AUTHOR'S PREFACE Some may say that the attempt to Introduce the whole subject of Conservation of Cultural Propety Is too ambitious, but actually someone has to undertake this task and it fell to my lot as Director of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cxiltural Property (ICCROM). An introduction to conservation such as this has difficulties in striking the right balance between all the disciplines involved. The writer is an architect and, therefore, a generalist having contact with both the arts and sciences. In such a rapidly developing field as conservation no written statement can be regarded as definite. This booklet should only be taken as a basis for further discussions. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In writing anything with such a wide scope as this booklet, any author needs help and constructive comments.

  • Selection in Web Archives: the Value of Archival Best Practices
    WITTENBERG: SELECTION IN WEB ARCHIVES Selection in Web Archives: The Value of Archival Best Practices Jamie Wittenberg, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, United States of America Abstract: The abundance of valuable material available online has mobilized the development of preservation initiatives at collecting institutions that aim to capture and contextualize web content. Web archiving selection criteria are driven by the limitations inherent in harvesting technologies. Observing core archival principles like provenance and original order when establishing collection development policies for web content will help to ensure that archives continue to assure the authenticity of the materials they steward. Keywords: Web Archives; Archival Theory; Digital Libraries; Internet Content; Selection and Appraisal Introduction The abundance of valuable material available online has mobilized the development of preservation initiatives at collecting institutions that aim to capture and contextualize web content. Methodologies for web collection practices are institution and collection-specific. Among institutions charged with preserving cultural heritage, web archiving has become commonplace. However, the disparity between institutional selection and appraisal criteria reveals the absence of standardization for web archive establishment. The Australian web archive, for example, accessions content that it evaluates as having long-term research value. The Library of Congress web archive, represented by its Minerva team, established a collection

  • If You Cannot Get Rid of the Family Skeleton, You May As Well
    “If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance”:1 How one repository tangoed successfully with some controversial collection management activities. Mark Green I’ve been asked today to touch on four activities—collection analysis, deaccessioning, collecting policy, and active acquisition/appraisal—and to do so “provocatively,” within 20 or 25 minutes. I spend an hour during my Advanced Appraisal workshop for the Society of American Archivists talking about deaccessioning alone, so what I say here will be quite a simplification and condensation—perhaps that will help me be provocative. Some context. I have spent most of my 25-year career as an archivist working with what in the US we refer to as manuscripts collections and in the UK are apparently referred to as “private archives.” In doing so I have worked for a private state historical society in Minnesota with manuscript holdings of approximately 30,000 cubic feet [SLIDE 2], where my sole employment for 11 years was developing collecting policies, identifying and soliciting new acquisitions, appraising solicited and unsolicited collections, building and maintaining relations with donors, and toward the end of my tenure devising reappraisal and deaccessioning projects.2 For the past 8 years I have directed the American Heritage Center in Wyoming [SLIDE 3], part of a public—which is to say taxpayer-funded—university, with manuscript holdings of about 70,000 cubic feet.3 There I have the same responsibilities I had in Minnesota, except that they occupy only a portion of my time, and it is my responsibility to teach the archivists who work with me how and why to perform these tasks.

  • The Discursive Construction of Archival Science: Conceptual Foundations of a Discipline in Construction
    Thiago Henrique Bragato Barros and João Batista Ernesto de Moraes. 2011. The discursive construction of archival science: Conceptual foundations. In Smiraglia, Richard P., ed. Proceedings from North American Symposium on Knowledge Organization, Vol. 3. Toronto, Canada, pp. 196-206. Thiago Henrique Bragato Barros ([email protected]) and João Batista Ernesto de Moraes ([email protected]) Universidade Estadual Paulista, Marília SP Brazil The Discursive Construction of Archival Science: Conceptual Foundations of a Discipline in Construction Abstract: This work outlines a theoretical background established in Archival Science based mainly on discourse analysis as a key discipline to understand which the differences are and points of concep- tual commonality in the area. Uses the French Discourse Analysis as a principle with a theoretical and methodological framework to typify the archive as a discursive practice defined by their historical aspects of its institutional junctures. The study of discourse helps to understand how certain linguistic formations construct the discourse, concerned mainly with the context in which the text was pro- duced. This analysis take place from manuals and treatises of Archival Science produced during the development of discipline and regarded as grounds for discipline. We analyzed the Manual of an Arc- hival Arrangement and Description (vor Handleiding van het ordenen in bescheijven archieven) of Muller, Feith, and Fruin (Ed.1 1898). Another work considered is the Manual of Archive Administra- tion Including the Problems of War Archives and Archive a Making (1 Ed. 1922) and some of late works of Sir Hillary Jenkinson and finally analyzed the work of Theodore R. Schellenberg some as- pects of his vast bibliography.

  • Anthropology MAJORS
    CAREERS FOR Anthropology MAJORS Anthropology is the study of human behavior and societies across time. UNM’s Anthropology program focuses on the biological diversity and forms, behaviors, and meanings that underlie human experiences over the span of humans’ existence. UNM’s Anthropology Bachelor’s degree offers concentrations in Archaeology, Ethnology and Evolutionary Anthropology. Anthropology majors often pursue careers in fields such as education, museums, research, and preservation. Many graduates work in cultural resource management for public sector employers, like state governments, and for private sector employers, like real estate developers. With a bachelor’s degree, graduates may qualify for entry level jobs such as a museum technician, research assistant, or archaeology field technician. Graduates with this degree may also enter teaching or other social services fields such as social work. Keep in mind that some occupations require further training. From finding chocolate in Chaco Canyon to studying the hands and feet from the fossils of chimpanzees, there are many opportunities for anthropology graduates in New Mexico, with our rich, diverse cultural history, past, and present.

Introduction Archives -- collections of paper, books, and other substrates of information (some might say “memory”) and the institutions that house and manage these objects -- are subjects of a renewed and vital current critical historical interest. Archives, broadly conceived, have been used for the writing of history since historical writing began, and archival materials and institutions are an integral part of the making not just of history but of the modern historical profession as well. The historian’s relationship with the archive has been long and varied and described in a broad range of terms, as being as unproblematic as “bread and butter” (Giles 1996) or as driven by erotic, fetishistic desire (Smith 1998). It is fitting that historians should turn their scholarly attentions to these depositories that have been the object, if not the subject, of so much historical work.
