It is unclear whether this is the result of the records contained in this box being weeded out, or if there was a miscalculation when the fonds was being processed. Administrative history / Biographical sketch Note Established in 1971 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Scriveners Pulp Press Limited was one of several ventures in alternative arts and literature of the early 1970s. In addition to fiction, poetry and drama titles, Scriveners' issued a twice-monthly literary magazine, Three-Cent Pulp, from 1972 to 1978. In 1981 Scriveners' initiated a subscription library service, the Arsenal Collaborative Library, to serve as a central distribution point for readers, writers and publishers. Following the sale of its typesetting and printing operations in 1982, the company changed its name to Arsenal Pulp Press. Although still a literary press, Arsenal gradually began to publish literary non-fiction titles, and it continued to maintain a tradition of commitment to publications about British Columbia. In the fall of 2001, Arsenal Pulp Press celebrated its 30th anniversary. The management and editorial team during its first decade of operation included Stephen Osborne, William Gregory Enright, D.M. Fraser, Jon Furberg, and Charles Tidler. In 1982, following the sale of its typesetting and printing operations, Pulp changed its name to Arsenal Pulp Press. In 1988 Brian Lam joined Arsenal following a co-op placement at the Press while studying creative writing at the University of Victoria. Lam became president in 1992 and co-owner with Stephen Osborne, one of the original owners and now editor of the literary magazine Geist.

  • Macro-Évaluation Et Respect Des Fonds. Réflexion Sur Leur Mise En Œuvre Au Sein Du Gouvernement Du Canada
    Macro-évaluation et respect des fonds. Réflexion sur leur mise en œuvre au sein du gouvernement du Canada Robert Nahuet Keywords: Records Appraisal / Évaluation des documents Archival Selection of Government Archives / Sélection des archives gouvernementales Principle of Provenance / Principe de respect des fonds Introduction Le fonds d’archives est une notion fondamentale de l’archivistique qui englobe la production organique et consignée d’une personne ou d’une organisation jouissant d’une certaine autonomie. La production documentaire de cette personne physique ou morale est à l’image de ses activités; elle reflète sa mission et son mandat spécifiques. Le principe de respect des fonds vise, d’une part, à conserver groupés les documents produits par une personne physique ou morale et, d’autre part, quand cela est possible, selon leur ordre originel : ce qui correspond respectivement au premier et au second degré de ce principe. Tant la notion de fonds d’archives que le principe de son respect constituent des fondements de l’archivistique qui ont été établis il y a plus de 150 ans. De nos jours, dans le contexte de l’interaction et de l’interdépendance entre institutions, ces notions sont-elles encore valables et peuvent-elles être mises en œuvre dans le cadre des organisations contemporaines? Par ailleurs, une saine gestion des organisations impose de procéder à une évaluation et à une sélection des masses documentaires produites afin de juguler cette “marée blanche”, mais surtout de retrouver l’information pertinente ainsi que d’identifier et de conserver les archives historiques. À cet égard, nul ne saurait mettre en doute la nécessité de la sélection, mais surtout de l’évaluation qui permettra de séparer le bon grain de l’ivraie1.

Introduction 1.1 Cultural Collections at the University of Bristol collects and preserves archival materials to support the University and wider communities in accessing and unlocking the potential of these unique collections. Through preserving and providing access to digital collections it aligns with the University’s Strategic Plan, to ‘revamp our digital infrastructure to make it more resilient, scalable, flexible and secure’ meeting the University’s dual ambitions to become a truly civic university and ‘to provide a welcoming, well-maintained and inclusive campus that provides the infrastructure, both physical and digital, that our staff and students need to succeed individually and to flourish as a community’. 1.2 The Digital Preservation Policy covers the Cultural Collections of the University of Bristol, namely the collaboration between the University of Bristol Library Special Collections, and the Theatre Collection. These organisations are planning to co-locate to a Cultural Collections Centre in a New University Library, and a Cultural Collections Transition Board will be set up for this purpose. 1.3 The University recognises that both archive services are increasingly being asked to care for collections which have been digitised or created in digital form which carry a high risk of becoming obsolete, lost, corrupt or unreadable, if not managed and preserved.

  • Respect Des Fonds D'archives: Theory and Application Danielle K.L
    Western University From the SelectedWorks of Danielle K.L. Lee-Muma March 8, 2012 Respect des fonds d'archives: Theory and Application Danielle K.L. Lee-Muma, University of Western Ontario Available at: https://works.bepress.com/daniellemuma/2/ Lee-Muma 1 Danielle Lee-Muma 8 March 2012. Respect des fonds d’archive: Theory and Application In order to examine the principle of respect des fonds d’archive (henceforth referred to as respect des fonds) and its application, this paper will examine the principle, its history and reason for becoming a dominant principle, and what its aspects mean: interpreting original order as an internal arrangement, and discussing external arrangement in the principle of provenance. Case studies (both real world examples and hypothetical examples based on real fonds and archives) will be used to discuss how the twin principles of respect des fonds, original order and provenance can be put into practice. The case studies will also be used to discuss what problems can arise in the application of respect des fonds. The French Ministry of the Interior passed the decree of respect des fonds in 1841, and created a commission of administrative historians to oversee their departmental archivists (Bartlett 110). The men of the commission explained their reasoning for the implementation of respect des fonds as “le classement par fonds n'empêche pas d'obtenir tous les résultats qu'on espère d'un ordre plus élevé” (Bartlett 111). This sentiment translates roughly as “the classification by fonds does not impede the results hoped for in a higher order,” meaning that the application of respect des fonds would make it possible to preserve evidence, even in the face of novice archivists.

  • The Conceptual Fonds and the Physical Collection GEOFFREY YEO
    The Conceptual Fonds and the Physical Collection GEOFFREY YEO RÉSUMÉ Cet article examine certaines idées au sujet du fonds, de la collection et du croisement entre eux. Les archivistes présument habituellement que les collections « artificielles » et les fonds « organiques » sont des catégories qui s’excluent mutuellement, mais l’auteur affirme que les distinctions rigides entre « artificiel » et « organique » sont sans fondement. Au contraire, s’il existe une différence cruciale entre collection et fonds, elle se trouve au niveau de la compréhension qu’une collection est physique ou matérielle, alors qu’un fonds est une entité conceptuelle qui ne requiert pas que les parties constituantes soient rassemblées physiquement. Les fonds sont difficiles à circonscrire, d’abord parce qu’il existe un potentiel que plusieurs fonds se chevauchent les uns les autres, et aussi parce que leurs limites sont sujet à interprétation. L’identification des collections est moins subjective; bien qu’elles puissent être reconstituées avec le temps et que leur classement interne n’ait pas besoin d’être revu, on arrive assez facilement à reconnaître leurs limites externes, et ce, à n’importe quel moment. Cet article conclut en explorant diverses façons dont les archivistes pourraient documenter les fonds et collections et exposer leurs liens actuels et passés. ABSTRACT This paper examines ideas about the fonds, the collection, and the inter­ sections between them. Archivists usually assume that “artificial” collections and “organic” fonds are mutually exclusive categories, but the author argues that rigid distinctions between “artificial” and “organic” are unsupportable. Instead, if there is a critical difference between collection and fonds, it lies in the understanding that col­ lections are physical or material, whereas fonds are conceptual entities whose mem­ bership need not be physically brought together.

  • New KPU Regalia Reflects New Chancellor's Indigenous Roots
    New KPU regalia reflects new chancellor’s Indigenous roots Sam Stringer is a graduate of the Wilson School of Design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. She was also a staff member at the school. But her longstanding relationship with KPU doesn’t end there. Stringer is now the designer of the new regalia for KPU’s president and incoming chancellor. “I feel so honoured that they thought of me for this project. I get to do something for my family and I love getting to work with Kwantlen again.” Stringer quickly embraced the opportunity to create new regalia for Chancellor Kim Baird, who will be installed as KPU’s third chancellor on Oct. 19. The president’s regalia was also re-designed and complements that of the chancellor. “We wanted to make the regalia look a bit more modern. We have a new chancellor so the new regalia has a bit of Kim’s heritage, a little bit of the Tsawwassen First Nation, Coast Salish design aspect. That was the inspiration behind everything,” says Stringer. She did a lot of research into the design elements. She was also introduced to a cedar weaver at the Tsawwassen First Nation who added traditional cedar weaving to the sleeves of the new robes. “The creation of this regalia is an important recognition of the traditional territory KPU campuses rest on. Sam Stringer has been very thoughtful in ensuring her design upholds important values to KPU but also respects my heritage as a Tsawwassen and Coast Salish woman,” says Baird. “I couldn't be more thrilled about how she has integrated these values and worked with Tsawwassen artists and incorporated these important details into the design of the robes.
