Abstract:Continuing in a tradition of looking back at the history of the archival profession’s engagement with and response to computers, a story is told of early archival computerization and the development of standards in the UK from the mid-1960s to roughly the mid-1980s. Standardization and computerization initially emerged as separate threads, but these threads started to coalesce in the mid-1970s and soon became intertwined in a project of systematization. This project of systematization took as its focus the creation of finding aids, and archivists ceased to engage with the development of the principles of the new information technology and the ways in which meaning was being structured, represented, and manipulated inside these new “machines.”

英国档案自动化与标准化与计算机化的关系

摘要：继续回顾档案行业参与和响应计算机的历史的传统，讲述了从 1960 年代中期到 1980 年代中期英国早期档案计算机化和标准发展的故事. 标准化和计算机化最初是作为独立的线程出现的，但这些线程在 1970 年代中期开始合并，并很快在系统化项目中交织在一起。这个系统化项目的重点是寻找辅助工具的创建，档案工作者不再参与新信息技术原理的发展以及在这些新“机器”中构建、表达和操纵意义的方式。 ”
