Title A name given to the resource Copyright Issues Relevant to the Creation of a Digital Archive: A Preliminary Assessment Subject The topic of the resource Copyright Description An account of the resource Besek explains how the collecting and preserving of digital content poses challenges to the intellectual property rights that libraries and archives are use to following. A balance between copyright owners and users is an ongoing process; therefore, Besek offers a paper in which she describes the copyright rules and exceptions. She also focuses on issues those involved with libraries and archives might encounter if involved in the creation of a digital archive. Besek explains that numerous factors exist when determining the copyright implications for works being considered for inclusion in an archive. Some of these factors include: the purpose of the archive, its subject matter, the manner in which it will acquire materials, and who will have access to the archive, and from where, and under what conditions. The purpose of Besek’s paper is not to go in-depth about copyright, but to provide the reader and potential archive creator, with information about basic copyright matters, so that the creator might recognize areas of concern as he/she plans the archive.

Title A name given to the resource Keeping Archives Description An account of the resource This book provides a comprehensive manual that covers key areas of archiving. Its audience is that of the novice and student archivist. In addition to it textbook format, the material in the book examines the role of the archival profession in the electronic records environment. The first four chapters focus on how to get started with archives. The chapters concentrate on the definition of archives, organization and storage issues, and preservation. They provide practical knowledge on developing frameworks for the establishment of an archive. The next six chapters examine how to manage archives. The chapters explain how to decide what one wants, how to get it, once one obtains it, and finally how to manage it. It looks at appraisal and disposal, acquisition, accessioning, arrangement, documentation programs, and using computers (the tasks for which they can be used). The four chapters in section three discuss promoting archives, which includes public access, security, privacy, confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, and copyright. The last four chapters discuss how to manage non-textual items. Digital recordkeeping is described. The chapters provide guidance on how to use archival principles, process, and services for digital records, maps, objects, sound recordings, moving images, and photographs.

Title A name given to the resource 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.

Title A name given to the resource Conversion of Primary Sources Description An account of the resource Deegan and Tanner explain that primary source materials come in all forms, and to digitally capture these materials, one must carefully consider certain aspects. In the article, they explore numerous materials: documents, visual materials (glass, canvas, film, fabric, etc.), three-dimensional objects, and audio/video recordings. They contend there is more than one method for capturing original source materials, and therefore, careful planning is required, as is the assessment of cost, quality, conservation, and usage. They discuss the advantages and disadvantages of digital capture and conversion. The main piece of advice is to consider the purpose. What is it is that the digitization is aiming to capture? They list numerous digital capture methods (such as OCR) and discuss the pros and cons of each. The last topic discussed is editing that material that is captured, and they explain the different software tools available for this endeavor. Deegan and Tanner conclude with advice: understanding the capture process of primary sources is important even if one never plans to carry out these activities directly because it is vital to understand the various implications and consequences of the decisions that have to be dealt with in any project.

Title A name given to the resource Archives for All: Professional Responsibility and Social Justice Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource Jimerson argues that in the information age, knowledge is power, and power is determined by those who determine what information will be preserved for the future, i.e., archivists. Therefore, archivists should use their power to benefit all members of society. He contends that archivists should adopt a social conscience and “promote accountability, open government, diversity, and social justice.” In addition, this social conscience can be implemented through objectivity (he explains the difference between objectivity and neutrality) in which archivists can address social issues without abandoning their professional standards and values. He says their role does not prohibit political advocacy, and Jimerson argues that archivists have both a moral and a professional responsibility to balance the power of the status quo with that of the marginalized. Therefore, they should help restore social wrongs and support the causes for justice and community consciousness among these marginalized groups. They should be public advocates and agents of change because they have a collective responsibility to ensure the preservation of information (or evidence) for “accountability, individual rights, and social justice.” Jimerson believes archivists has two main goals: (1) reflect diverse societies and give a voice to those marginalized, and (2) increase professional membership among marginalized groups. And, these commitments must be international in order to be effective.

Title A name given to the resource Designing Sustainable Projects and Publications Subject The topic of the resource Digital Humanities Description An account of the resource Pitti’s article focuses on the necessity of collaboration among scholars, despite the challenges they encounter. In order to design complex, sustainable projects in digital humanities, collaboration is necessary because of the cost and the familiarity required with both the research subject and the technologies. Pitti discusses the advantages and challenges connected with collaboration. The primary advantage of collaboration is that a group of scholars can create “research collections more intellectually complex and comprehensive than is possible for an individual.” However, Pitti also examines some of the challenges, such as individual interests versus shared objectives, creating guidelines for the project, and differing levels of technological abilities. He offers some solutions to these obstacles, and he insists that collaboration will enable greater productivity.

Title A name given to the resource Clio Wired: The Future of the past in the Digital Age Subject The topic of the resource Digital humanities 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.

Title A name given to the resource Strategies for Building Digitized Collections Subject The topic of the resource Curation Description An account of the resource Abby Smith combines the collective experiences of digital library staffs over the past decade as she analyzes and reviews selected practices, identifies selection policies and best practices, and discusses long-term implications of the opportunities and constraints that shape the digital library collections of “first-generation” digital libraries. First generation refers to libraries that “have been engaged in significant digitization for a while.” However, she did analyze a few libraries that were just beginning to develop their own digitization programs. Her purpose was to look at libraries and complete an analysis of significant achievements that made it possible to identify good practices and benchmarks for success. In her conclusion, she explains that libraries need a clear sense of how a digital project fits their mission. One of the elements Smith examines is cost, since many libraries need funding to cover digital costs; however, she contends that there are numerous benefits, such as the amount of knowledge gained by staff about their own collections and those of other colleges, the protection of materials while increasing the access to the content, and the satisfaction of the patrons. In looking to the future, Smith believes digitization must clearly be an integral part of the core mission of the library who chooses these projects, and many factors remain for libraries to consider, such as the development of technical specifications, the management of storage, and the discovery of outside finds, and the need to discover how digitization will add value to source material.

Title A name given to the resource The Power of Archives: Archivists’ Values and Value in the Postmodern Age Subject The topic of the resource Archives 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).
