The First World War (1914–1918) produced an explosion of record making and record keeping, from state agencies conducting a war of unparalleled scale, to individuals and families producing testaments of experience which also often became objects of remembrance and memorialisation. The effort to document has a history; so too does the determination – or otherwise – to retain those records, organise and describe them, and provide for or otherwise deny access to them. In turn, the ways in which contemporaries recorded and then archived the First World War have powerfully shaped the kinds of histories produced over the last century. The war was being recorded and archived as it happened – and for decades after – for particular reasons and particular purposes. The processes of recording and archiving have bequeathed in different times and places alternately a very rich, very partial, and very prejudiced record of conflict and its legacies. This special issue of Archives and Manuscripts grew out of a gathering of scholars in Melbourne in 2018. The conference, hosted by the International Society for First World War Studies, took as its theme ‘Recording, narrating and archiving the First World War’. Our selection of papers from that conference revisits the creation, recreation and transmission of knowledge about the war. Together, a series of archivists and historians investigate the ways in which a war that has been so critical not only to defining the modern world, but also individual and cultural identities, has been shaped and reshaped by those who produced and archived its record for a century since 1914. Studying the experience and demands of war – perhaps especially the First World War – has been enormously consequential for archivists and historians both. In an immediate sense, Hilary Jenkinson’s 1922 A Manual of Archive Administration emerged in the wake of that experience (subtitled Including the Problems of War Archives and Archive Making and published as part of a series on the Economic and Social History of the World War), with abiding impact on how archivists thought about their practice. More recently, studies of records-making and management during and after the First World War have been important in giving historical weight to emergent themes in archival thinking. For historians, of course, the war has other attractions. So well described as the ‘matrix event’ of the twentieth century, for the way it set the pattern for the century’s politics and culture, and indeed for its terrible example of humanity’s capacity for mass killing, the war has proven endlessly fascinating. As a wellspring, too, for narratives of national maturity in places like Australia and New Zealand, the war remains politically charged as a subject of historical debate. We should not be surprised that the recent centenary – even before it commenced – provoked expressions of unease at a perceived over-commemoration of 1914–1918. The continued historical and popular significance of the experience exposes the diverse and changing contexts for ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPTS 2020, VOL. 48, NO. 2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363

参与战争记录:档案历史和历史实践

第一次世界大战(1914-1918 年)产生了记录制作和记录保存的爆炸式增长,从进行规模空前的战争的国家机构,到制作经历证明的个人和家庭,这些经历也经常成为纪念和纪念的对象。记录的努力是有历史的;决定——或以其他方式——保留这些记录、组织和描述它们,以及提供或以其他方式拒绝访问它们也是如此。反过来,同时代人记录和存档第一次世界大战的方式有力地塑造了上个世纪产生的各种历史。由于特定原因和特定目的,战争一直被记录和存档——以及之后的几十年。记录和存档的过程交替地在不同的时间和地点留下了一份非常丰富、非常片面、非常有偏见的冲突及其遗产的记录。本期《档案与手稿》特刊源于 2018 年墨尔本学者聚会。本次会议由第一次世界大战研究国际学会主办,主题为“记录、叙述和存档第一次世界大战”。我们从那次会议中选择的论文重新审视了战争知识的创造、娱乐和传播。一系列档案工作者和历史学家共同研究了一场不仅对定义现代世界而且对个人和文化身份如此重要的战争的方式,自 1914 年以来,它的记录已被制作和存档一个世纪的人塑造和重塑。研究战争的经验和要求——也许尤其是第一次世界大战——对档案工作者和历史学家都产生了巨大的影响。就直接而言,希拉里·詹金森 (Hilary Jenkinson) 1922 年的《档案管理手册》是在这种经历之后出现的(标题为包括战争档案和档案制作的问题,并作为世界大战经济和社会史系列的一部分出版),对档案工作者如何看待他们的实践产生了持久的影响。最近,对第一次世界大战期间和之后的记录制作和管理的研究对于赋予档案思维中新兴主题的历史权重非常重要。当然,对于历史学家来说,这场战争还有其他的吸引力。这场战争被很好地描述为 20 世纪的“母体事件”,因为它为本世纪的政治和文化设定了模式,而且确实因为它是人类大规模杀戮能力的可怕例子,事实证明,这场战争具有无穷无尽的魅力。作为澳大利亚和新西兰等地国家成熟叙事的源泉,这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363 由于它为本世纪的政治和文化树立了模式,事实上,由于它是人类大规模杀戮能力的可怕例子,这场战争已被证明是无穷无尽的迷人。作为澳大利亚和新西兰等地国家成熟叙事的源泉,这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363 由于它为本世纪的政治和文化树立了模式,事实上,由于它是人类大规模杀戮能力的可怕例子,这场战争已被证明是无穷无尽的迷人。作为澳大利亚和新西兰等地国家成熟叙事的源泉,这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363 事实上,由于人类大规模杀戮能力的可怕例子,这场战争已经证明是无穷无尽的迷人。作为澳大利亚和新西兰等地国家成熟叙事的源泉,这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363 事实上,由于人类大规模杀戮能力的可怕例子,这场战争已经证明是无穷无尽的迷人。作为澳大利亚和新西兰等地国家成熟叙事的源泉,这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363 这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363 这场战争在政治上仍然是历史辩论的主题。我们不应感到惊讶的是,最近的百年纪念——甚至在它开始之前——就引发了人们对 1914-1918 年过度纪念的不安表达。这段经历的持续历史和流行意义揭示了 2020 年档案和手稿的多样化和不断变化的背景,VOL。48,没有。2, 97–108 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2020.1769363
