What is an Archive?
Description
An account of the resource
Archives are collections of primary sources, cataloged and grouped for the purpose of preserving and making accessible the records of society’s cultural and historic heritage. Laura Millar, noted archivist and author of Archives principles and practices, defines the mission of archives “to acquire, preserve and make available the documentary memory of society…”(Millar 2010). These entries will focus on the explanation and description of an archive and why they are important to society. What does it mean to be an archive and what is the value of an archive?

Archives, Documentation, and Institutions of Social Memory: Essays from the Sawyer Seminar
Description
An account of the resource
The Advanced Studies Center of the International Institute of the University of Michigan held a year-long Sawyer Seminar from 2000-2001 to investigate the complicated relationships between archives, forms of documentation, and societies. The program had 100 presentations over 28 sessions with representation from 15 different countries. The focus of the seminar was the role of archives in the production of knowledge. The book is divided into five sections. The first section deals with archives themselves. How does one define an archive? The second section looks at how archives are used in the production of knowledge. The third section is about social memory. These articles explore how archives create knowledge about broader social processes and activities that can be used to explore the past, such as how archives can deliberately limit, shape, or structure certain kinds of social understanding. The fourth section examines archives and political cultures, specifically Canada, the Caribbean, Western Europe, African, and European Colonial Archives. Essays cover the challenge of recovering “memory” in areas of colonialism and postcolonialism, revolutionary events, and evolving stable states. In contrast to section four, the last section covers archives and social understanding in states undergoing rapid transition, such as China, Postwar Japan, Postwar Greece, Russia, Ukraine, and the Balkins. The essays examine the relationship between state archives and governments, and they look at how politics affects archives.

Subject

Digital humanities
Description
An account of the resource
Erika Farr, digital archives coordinator for Emory University’s MARBL (Manuscripts and Rare Books Library), interviewed Salman Rushdie, noted author and Emory University’s Distinguished Professor, in a compelling, lengthy discussion regarding writing and computers, and the university’s recent acquisition and digitization of Rushdie’s works. Rushdie’s archive includes his Apple computers and disks as well as print-based journals, drawings, and other unpublished items. Rushdie explained his original purpose for donating this hybrid collection was in response to a professor’s invitation to allow the university to house and preserve his works. Serendipitously, Rushdie was also writing his memoir and discovered through the collaborative process of selecting items to be published against those which would remain hidden to protect family privacy, that not only were his memories prodded, but they were corrected as well. Farr concurred with Rushdie’s acknowledgement of the greater fragility of digital data and cited the digitization and frequent migration of the archive countered the old custom of “benign neglect,” (storing items in places where they remain unused and forgotten).
Rushdie shared insight into the different types of technologies used for writing (from typewriters to Twitter) and despite making his notes and sketches available to public, he maintained the solitary nature and depth of concentration characteristic of his generation of writers.

The Mediation of Cultural Memory: Digital Preservation in the Cases of Classical Indian dance and the Cherokee Stomp Dance
Subject
The topic of the resource
Archives
Description
An account of the resource
In their article, Cushman and Ghosh examine two different types of digital media used to represent culturally sensitive and significant artifacts: a classical dance of India represented by an avatar in Second Life, and the tribal Stomp dance of the Cherokee Nation represented to the public through text, only. They approach their study from an ethical and aesthetic point of view, questioning whether digital media transforms cultural expression and to what extent digital technologies can be used to both preserve sacred content and extend the community’s cultural memory. Cushman and Ghosh undergird their investigation with Jacque Derrida’s studies of linguistics and semiotics and to concepts of mediation by such theorists as Jay David Bolter and N. Katherine Hayles. They assert that the digital technologies used to represent cultural history must serve, reinforce, and preserve the cultural values embedded in both the structure of the site and the digital tools supplied to engage its artifacts. Cushman and Ghosh discover that the mediation (digital technologies) shapes and enhances cultural memory, although at a cost. Sacred dances, as one example, become disembodied through digital mediation due to the absence of a live audience in face-to-face proximity. The authors report that whereas digital representations of sacred cultural objects or events cannot provide the full embodiment necessary for establishing cultural memory, there are benefits to digitizing cultural heritage, including the educational value of making ancient culture accessible to the world.

Subject

Archives
Description
An account of the resource
Vallier contends archives are not “value-neutral institutions” and due to their inherent power to represent and preserve historic artifacts in support of their institutional sponsors, archiving marginalized populations is particularly challenging. Vallier investigated various strategies for redressing past grievances by indigenous parties whose memorabilia had been improperly archived, including repatriating the artifacts. He also queried faculty and students on their perception of the archive and the relative lack of use by researchers. Vallier reasoned the relevance and political correctness of the archive could be improved by making greater use of community experts. Using his experience developing ethnomusicology archives, Vallier explained his motives and methods for soliciting community involvement and “joint ownership” of the archive. In the Filipino and African American communities of LA, Vallier tapped local volunteers and students to record, research, and describe the musical traditions of these respective communities. By enabling the donors to participate in the archive’s creation, the archive’s visibility and support by a larger public increased and Vallier parlayed these successes into another community archive documenting the diverse music cultures of the Puget Sound. Despite continuing financial challenges, he maintains “communal archiving efforts,” together with institutional outreach and repatriation of unethically archived items, counters the esoteric isolation of the archive and allows the archive to develop new knowledge.

The Audiovisual Unconscious: Media and Trauma in the Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies
Subject
The topic of the resource
Collective memory
Description
An account of the resource
Video testimonies of Holocaust survivor stories are, in themselves, an archival medium. The conventions of shooting and distributing video convey an immediacy and an absence of cinematic artifice that reveal rather than obscure the unconscious and unintended effects. Like the archive, the video testimony gathers and presents the “noise” as well as the subject matter of its content. Details from gestures, eyes, expression, etc. are recorded and these visual registers of the psyche amplify the sound recording of the video. Pinchevski posits that the video testimony extends the voice and narrative of the testimony, providing viewers a greater sense of the survivor’s experience—one that may be inexpressible in mere written form or may belie the narration. Citing the investigative work of psychoanalysts and scholars of the Holocaust, Pinchevski believes both the archive and video are mediums of transmission providing society deep memory; that is, memories which cannot be immediately recalled without some type of mediation. Although it is arguable that either the archive and documentary video is more authentic than film or text, they each record the event as it occurred in real time and thereby enable the user/viewer to become witnesses to the historic event. More than words or symbols, the video archive, like the video testimony, disseminates and transmits the inexpressible.

Between Archive and Participation: Public Memory in a Digital Age
Subject
The topic of the resource
Collective memory
Description
An account of the resource
Haskins examines the effects of the Internet on the memory work of archives and the informal, vernacular style of the broad public. Examples of the vernacular style of memory work include the spontaneous display of mementos at memorials or sites of mourning, and uploading personal stories and photographs to the Internet via social media. Traditionally, archival memory stores and orders material traces of the past without the presence or engagement by the public. However, the Internet continually archives the transmission of media and exponentially, the private opinions, ephemera, and idiosyncratic methods of organization of its contributors. The diversity of public opinion and the sharing of content afford both potentially beneficial and destructive consequences. Participation in memory work by a greater cross-section of society that is unaffected by more conservative, institutional restraints supports the values and beliefs of a democratic society. Conversely, that same diversity fosters insularity, given the widely fragmented content and the commercial profit gained by nurturing individualistic self-expression. Haskins proposes, through her examination of the 9-11 digital archive a balanced approach to centering memory work by cultural heritage institutions with guidelines for public participation and fostering a comprehensive view of history.

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.
Haskins illuminates one of the most critical challenges facing builders of digital archives: balancing the time-tested standards and methods for storing and providing access to a comprehensive representation of cultural knowledge against the demands for digitization and greater public participation. In this article, she alerts the reader to the potential loss of historical consciousness and a “self-congratulatory amnesia” resulting from the Internet style of unbridled public expression. Archives should facilitate broad perspectives and a sense of the larger body politic. As digital archivists, we provide the contextual information, tools, and interface design that may either enhance or detract from the idea of cultural memory.

This TEDtalk outlines Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, argument for the construction of a digital archive that aims to capture the voices, and stories of all of humanity. He argues that by the interview itself becoming the central focus of the work of StoryCorps, instead of focusing on a figure in history, the StoryCorps project aimed to create transformational experiences for participants while collecting and archiving the stories and conversations of others in the Library of Congress. StoryCorps has grown to include well over 100,000 participants, constituting the largest collection of human voices every created. In response to receiving the TED prize he was asked to come up with a brief wish for humanity: “that you will help us take everything we’ve learned through StoryCorps and bring it to the world, so that anyone, anywhere can easily record a meaningful interview with another human being which will then be archived for history.

Description
An account of the resource
Michela Ferron and Paolo Massa employ a quantitative study of Wikipedia as a digital archive in order to show how one can view memory as an active process. The authors begin with a discussion of Web 2.0 as public, private, and modifiable, but unable to be completely erased. They further assert that backups of the Internet, particularly in the case of Wikipedia, allowed them to conduct longitudinal studies about data. Ferron and Massa used an XML file to show the revision history of all pages of the English Wikipedia on September 16, 2010, arguing that a revision spike occurs near the anniversary of a traumatic event. They found that pages relating the September 11, 2001 attacks received an average of 10, 701 edits per day during the anniversary, and only 4,619 edits per day otherwise. Ferron and Massa compared this data to Wikipedia pages for non-traumatic events, like Woodstock and Apollo 11, which did not receive as much attention.

Description
An account of the resource
A good overview regarding the practical aspects of collecting oral histories. The authors state that anyone with the time, resources, and interest can take part in the recording of oral history. There are no age barriers or educational barriers when conducting interviews and the advancement in technology has made digital recorders and camcorders affordable and accessible. Community historians tend to engage in topics that they can relate to and have some bearing on their own lives and background. The authors also explore the challenges dealing with family history as well as the sensitivity needed when interviewing a subject for the first time. The authors' mission is to enable more people to practice history.
