Description
An account of the resource
In this article, Greene eschews the "intuitive, informal, and cookbooky" approach to information infrastructure and advises archivists to base their work on core professional values (22). He recommends beginning a digital archive project with well-planned policies of selection and collection criteria. Greene also discusses the importance of "activism"—"active shaping of the historical record" and "advocacy of archival issues and values in a variety of settings including the political arena" (25). By defining archivists as activists, Greene contends they are not neutral and that become interpreters and shapers of content when they select and preserve archival materials. In addition to discussing core values, he advocates aggressive pursuit of funding, while also educating the public on the importance of maintaining an open archive in a democratic society.

Subject

Description
An account of the resource
Roy Rosenzweig contends that the past is not dead. His book, Clio Wired, is a collection of essays focusing on the digital media and how it could keep the past alive. Simplistically, it is broken into three sections: rethinking, practicing, and surveying. The first section, Rethinking History in New Media, focuses on preservation and the use of the internet and digital tools for scholarship. Rosenberg considers what should be preserved and who is responsible for this preservation. In addition, he explores the authority of digital knowledge, new research methods for digital media, and amateur historians from professional historians in a digital realm. Practicing History in New Media: Teaching, Researching, Presenting, Collecting, which is the second section in the book, encompasses how to practice history in the field of digital media. The essays within this section range from teaching methods in the classroom, how to collect history online, using hypertext in scholarly journals, and the open access of scholarly research. The final section in the book, Surveying History in New Media, discusses the future of digital media. His focus is on the advantages of digitization, and he believes in the near future the most important bodies of knowledge will be online, such as in archives.

The Digital Archives: A Vision for the Future
Description
An account of the resource
The New York Philharmonic has performed 15,000 concerts since it started in 1842, more than any other group in the world. Because of this they have a vast collection of historical items, including music, rosters, newspaper clippings, and every single program. The New York Philharmonic has reflected the cultural and political events throughout their history. Their music can also be traced through the advent of historically new mediums. Music lovers from around the world have frequented their physical archives. Therefore, they feel that it is necessary to digitize their archives. They will spend the next three (now about two) years digitizing thousands of archives so that they can be accessed by anyone at any time. In this way, student conductors can study videos of the best conductors, as well as see their notes on the music itself at the same time. The archive allows one to see priceless information in one place and to listen while viewing the music, program, or roster. In the next ten years, they plan to make 8 million documents and 7,000 audio recordings available online. In this way, they hope to share a “collective memory.”

Description
An account of the resource
This article discusses the fact that prior to the digital revolution, only scholars could study primary sources. K-12 students and teachers were relegated to the little they could get to locally because they did not have the money needed to experience primary historical sources themselves. These limitations kept many students and teachers from getting excited about research. Digital archives, however, allow anyone access to primary sources in a nonlinear environment. Because of this, archivists should strive to create digital archives from a large variety of voices. In this way, the history classroom should be radically changed to foster historical inquiry and personal connections to historical content. The article discusses a study of pre-service teachers who engaged with digital archives. They found them useful for their future classrooms, especially since they often represented the marginalized groups not represented in the textbook.

Daniel Cohen, professor of history at George Mason University and director of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and the late Roy Rosenzweig, professor of history and innovator in digital scholarship at George Mason University co-authored the book, Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving and Presenting the Past on the Web. The book is divided into chapters beginning with the evolution of digital historical scholarship and concluding with guidelines for planning and preserving an historical digital archive. Historical research has been both enhanced by and reshaped by online resources, and the authors believe the interfaces to these resources have also shaped genres. Additionally, the authors emphasize the importance of establishing a partnership among scholars, librarians, and archivists for the purpose of creating new knowledge.

The Converging Histories and Futures of Libraries, Archives, and Museums as Seen through the Case of the Curious Collector Myron Eells
Subject
The topic of the resource
Archives
Description
An account of the resource
Michael J. Paulus, Jr., librarian and professor at Seattle Pacific University in Seattle, Washington, compares Myron Eells’ 19th century eclectic library and his method of recordkeeping to postmodern trends in contemporary libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs). These trends include establishing special collections of rare and unpublished materials in libraries, and developing selection policies and designing informative interfaces for public access in museums. Such activities were once considered institutionally specific, and following the implementation of standardized practices and principles for LAMs in the early 20th century, would not have occurred outside their respective institutions.
Myron Eells, minister, educator, and collector of “curiosities,” created an extensive record of the history of our country’s northwest. He accompanied his array of materials with careful documentation, adopting an ethnographic approach to indexing his materials, based in part on his many visits to museums. In addition to his collections (cabinets), he wrote books and articles describing the history of the NW territories and its people. Paulus observes while Eells was constructing his collections and writing diaries and manuscripts, the late 19th and early 20th century libraries and museums were establishing modernist principles and standards. Libraries, museums, and archives focused on highly specialized roles and kept collections and standards separate from each other. Paulus says Eells was largely oblivious of the emerging fields of library science and museum curation, and combined his artefacts with historical and fictional literature. When his library and personal papers were donated to Whitman College, the collection was dispersed between the library and museum, without regard to provenance.
With the advent of digital technology, the content, mission, and tasks of librarians, archivists, and museum curators are merging. Paulus hopes the blurring boundaries between these institutions will foster greater sharing of their collections as each adopts the other’s philosophy—to collect, preserve, interpret, and disseminate information for the public. He recognizes the potential for aggregating the widely scattered collection of Myron Eells into a digital space that could recreate his desire to capture a past for future use

Reflections on the Value of Metadata Archaeology for Recordkeeping in a Global, Digital World
Subject
The topic of the resource
Archives
Description
An account of the resource
Recordkeeping metadata have been instrumental in constructing and promulgating, as well as reflecting, narratives for their era from antiquity into the digital age across cultures and belief systems. They thus can serve as a critical apparatus for articulating, delimiting and contextualizing the record and the archive on an infinite number of temporal dimensions. The implementations and worldviews of metadata, however, historically are often discontinuous or vary in different periods and settings, making it harder to discern their manifestations and influence. Metadata, and discourse formation around metadata, therefore, deserve and require careful excavation, contextualization, and analysis. The paper proposes using a Foucauldian ‘archaeological’ approach to gain a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of the diversity of metadata and metadata discourses. It illustrates this approach with perhaps one of the earliest of historical cases—that of the Royal Archive at Ebla.

Subject

Web archiving
Description
An account of the resource
The ubiquity of digital data and its seemingly effortless and transparent transmission in routine commerce and communication is rarely discussed from both technical and socio-political perspectives in one work. In this book, however, the authors provide a detailed technological history of digitization while also illuminating the social and cultural consequences of this information explosion. Two areas of concern for the authors and of particular interest for digital archivists are the changing view toward privacy and knowing what data should be preserved or deleted. In the former area, Abelson, Ledeen, and Lewis explain the gradual shift in perceptions of privacy as digital devices including credit cards, cell phones, digital cameras, and GPS trackers that encode and embed personal and local data. Consumers of these devices become acclimatized to the trade-off of personal privacy for the conveniences they provide.
Data leakage and unethical trading of information, however, is another type of trade-off that challenges those responsible for securing and maintaining digital content, (which the authors contend is regulated by the U.S. in piecemeal fashion). Tracking and securing digitized documents are matters of concern for archivists, not just to balance the needs of the citizen’s right to know and to privacy. Knowing what to make accessible, for whom, and what must be done for long-term preservation requires an understanding of the technical properties of its collected artifacts. The authors discuss the technical properties of text and image, underscoring the importance of applying this knowledge to storage methods. In addition to storing data, the authors also discuss the difficulty in permanently deleting data, despite the short life of technological hardware and software. Creating multiple copies, and sharing content by standardizing protocols and data structures, requires widespread coordination and what the authors describe, “creative compromise.”

An account of the resource
Cunningham avers that digital archiving, digital curation, digital libraries, and digital museums are distinctly different functions despite the common conflation of the terms by the public. In this article, he argues that digital archiving should begin with a systematic method for capturing and preserving data before the receiving institution ingests the items. By taking a preventative approach to data loss, the digital archivist must work closely with government and business institutions as part of an information management workflow. Cunningham credits the National Australian Archives for having the foresight and initiative to propose recordkeeping standards and protocols for digital archiving, and most significantly, for asserting that digital archives should not focus their expertise on the digital object or end product. Rather, digital archivists should focus on preserving the historical context and manner in which the content was presented. By advocating the use of open source software and other standards ensuring cross-platform flexibility, the Australian archivists aligned the ideals of preservation with the performative function and accessibility of the content. Preserving the long-term accessibility and context of the items ensured greater accuracy and evidentiary value than strictly focusing on the preservation and migration of digital objects.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This paper considers similarities and differences among the concepts of digital curation, digital archives, and digital libraries. It argues that, from a recordkeeping perspective, the phrase digital archive has been misused, even hijacked, and that this misuse obscures fundamental issues associated with the capture and long-term management of archival resources. The paper also argues that digital archiving requires active archival intervention across the entire records continuum, and that, as such, the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) reference model is deficient because it ignores the need for pre-ingest archival activity.

Instructional Method
A process, used to engender knowledge, attitudes and skills, that the described resource is designed to support. Instructional Method will typically include ways of presenting instructional materials or conducting instructional activities, patterns of learner-to-learner and learner-to-instructor interactions, and mechanisms by which group and individual levels of learning are measured. Instructional methods include all aspects of the instruction and learning processes from planning and implementation through evaluation and feedback.
This article asserts digital archivists must become involved in the creation and management of digital data as part of the preservation workflow. It is an important reminder, that not only did the National Australian Archives present international metadata standards and protocols for preserving the presentation and context of historic items, they established a just cause for focusing on and overseeing the entire life cycle of digital content. Additionally, the article defines the skills and education needed for expanding the archivist’s responsibilities from print management to digital workflows.

Description
An account of the resource
Postcolonial archives in theory and practice generally oppose traditional archival principles of open access. Indigenous cultures transmit knowledge according to local custom and do not conform to the Western, positivist hierarchical structure of institutional archives. Elizabeth Povinelli proposes to build a postcolonial digital archive of the native people of northwest Australia. In her article, she discusses the intellectual and ethical challenges that confront archivists when attempting to match tribal protocols of circulating and preserving traditional knowledge with digital media. Povinelli contends the open-access model of digital archives violates traditional barriers that indigenous societies erect to preserve and circulate traditional culture. She cites examples of modified algorithms and user-generated metadata in non-traditional digital archives and suggests adopting a tiered level of access for postcolonial archives. The resulting arrangement and access to content thereby respects local custom, although it may appear illogical or be inaccessible to the Western reader. Povinelli poses both ethical and ontological questions to digital archivists. Can digital media adapt to postcolonial archives without sacrificing and subverting the native society? Moreover, can the digital postcolonial archive, itself a challenge to the politically powerful and dominant institutional archives, maintain its purpose to halt the subjugation of the indigenous community? Such questions promote creative and critical innovation with rendering code, designing the interface, and adapting to the framework of a screen. However, even when constructed in accordance with native custom, Povinelli acknowledges that the power of the archive lies in its representation of truth, and as such, must continually be negotiated between archivist and the community represented.
