ABSTRACT The junction between the memory of violence of the past and fictional registry is a dimension of post-dictatorial society’s cultural dynamics. While the testimonial narrative is dominant in the literary sphere, the archive as a repository of memory and documental inscription, with the capacity to iterate and transit from one social field to another, challenges regimes of truth and lineal temporality

ABSTRACT Worldwide inquiries into childhood institutionalization repeatedly document systemic and enduring problems with fractured and fragmented recordkeeping and archiving systems that put the protection of organizations and institutions ahead of the safety and wellbeing of those in their care. As importantly, they demonstrate how much recordkeeping matters in people’s lives and the role that records

ABSTRACT In 2017 the European Union (EU) adopted P8_TA-PRO0051, a resolution outlining a series of recommendations for the Commission on Civil Law Rules for Robotics. Despite its ostensibly futuristic premise, the resolution is firmly grounded in the concerns of the present: mapping the legal and ethical implications of autonomous robots for European lawmakers. Included in the EU resolution is the

ABSTRACT Preservation of digital material is a challenge for which many archives feel underprepared and ill equipped. The National Archives (UK) has been working in collaboration with statisticians from the University of Warwick and partners from across the UK archives sector to develop a decision-support system which quantifies the risks involved in digital preservation. Through interdisciplinary

ABSTRACT This article describes the processes that take place in the pharmaceutical regulatory environment and documentation on medicinal products. Granting of marketing authorization and other regulatory processes use dossiers on medicinal products as their primary resources. The pharmaceutical industry moved from paper to digital marketing authorization dossiers. The article discusses the tasks of

ABSTRACT This article explores maps as a conceptual metaphor for archival description. Drawing on insights from some classic works in the field of critical cartography, we examine five ways in which maps can help us to understand the nature of archives catalogues: (1) as tools for orientation and sense-making of interconnected archival landscapes; (2) as involving abstraction, selection and privileging

ABSTRACT Photographs in the archive are believed to hold significance because of the information on their obverse. This article rather focuses upon the reverse of photographic materials as a critical tool to look at the archive. To be more specific, it considers the reverse of the images of Atatürk in the collections of the Turkish Historical Society and deals with the traces there, which serve to

ABSTRACT This paper applies the methodological premise of the ‘social life of things’ to give insight into the context and movements of a collection of records found at the Norwegian National Archive, that contribute to the documentation of the Armenian Genocide. A study of the life of this collection tells the story of Norwegian missionaries in the Ottoman Empire in 1915, their witnessing of the Genocide

Spain’s national historic archives are entrusted with the custody of documents that shed light on historic events and periods of worldwide interest. Further to the country’s Transparency Act (2013) and given such archives’ importance as national scale public cultural institutions, their economic and financial information is pertinent and should be accessible to citizens. This study reviewed the economic

ABSTRACT This essay explores the paradox of inaccessibility in popular archives. Often understood as democratizing, even digital databases of popular literature ironically contain a series of barriers: an extraordinary paywall and frequent image-quality issues that render some texts illegible. Popularity relies on access. What happens to popular literature when its access is constricted? As we recognize

ABSTRACT Popular culture collecting in academic special collections and archives is sometimes still viewed within the institution as a challenge to traditional collection development, which has tended to emphasize the mainstream and enshrine privilege and power. This is especially the case when the cultures and media emphasized in such collecting might be categorized as being counter-cultural, DIY

This is a unique take on the theatre archive and provides mental nourishment for anyone working with such collections. Overall there is a good level of detail about the methods used in and outcomes of digitisation and research projects. An extra essay on the use of archives to produce performances would have balanced out the concluding section of the book with the other parts. This book will be of

repetition, and occasionally the dense vocabulary obscures the point that is being made. Although there are some key case studies mentioned (Andersen, Snowden and NSA Surveillance), and these would be potentially well known to an international audience, it could also be argued that these are high profile cases, and whilst they support Mooradian’s argument, further case studies/scenarios could have

Records, Sir George W. Forrest, whom Bhattacharya highlights. Recently, archival historians have explored the history of the London-based India Office records. To his credit, Bhattacharya incorporates the India Office records into his narrative, aswell as the archival history of the ‘Indian states,’ and mention of the Peshwa Daftar, or Pune archives (124, 172–177). One wonders, however, whether the

archival collections from defunct institutions or organisations, or from companies and individuals who have not given much thought to their archival legacy during their active years. There are also some minor typographical errors. Overall, however, this is a very useful and wide-ranging guide for archivists and archival repositories about to begin, or in the first stages of a digital preservation programme

of scholarly potential. Without a background in this discipline, it is difficult to say whether or not he fully achieved this aim, but as a general reader I was left a little bewildered by his treatment of historical documents — such as urban plans — as literary texts: something they absolutely are not. This, in my view, misguided treatment leads the author to compare imagined security patrols in proposed

modern workplace, such as the impact of new technology, and includes the implications of these developments. The book introduces the WIE model and provides an overview of its potential use within future research. The concluding chapter explains how research into information in the workplace has often focused on a specific perspective, profession or single IUE. Information at Work emphasizes the need

ABSTRACT Collaboration has risen up the agenda for archives and universities in recent years, yet there is unrealized potential for co-productive modes of research between archivists and academics, with business collections facing particular obstacles. This article, co-written by an archivist and a historian, presents the findings of a project that aims to support business archivists to develop co-designed
