Title A name given to the resource 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 These trends include establishing special collections of rare and unpublished materials in libraries, and developing selection policies and designing informative interfaces for public access in museums.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 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Paulus, Michael J.

Title A name given to the resource Future Watch: Strategies for Long-Term Preservation of Electronic Records Subject The topic of the resource Digital preservation Description An account of the resource There are several varied types of electronic records, including legal documents, images, receipts, and personal correspondence that require unique methods of preservation. Hoke explains that due to rapid obsolescence of both software and hardware, long-term preservation (ten years or more) may not be possible. To further complicate the preservation of electronic records, the different institutions, and categories of collections (such as medical transactions, insurance proceedings, court cases, or personal papers) also affect their long-term maintenance. Hoke classifies these challenges to digital preservation into four main categories: storage media; hardware; software; and governance. For each category, Hoke provides examples and concludes no universal principle or procedure can be applied. For example, software companies that do not provide backwards compatibility may require emulation as opposed to migration strategies for preservation. Hoke believes governance, the infrastructure and long-term commitment to preserving a collection, is perhaps the most vulnerable category. Knowing how to assign provenance to a record that must be migrated into a new form, or anticipating future demands for different types of records are examples of the difficulties affecting governance. Planning and developing strategies for governance are addressed in the second section of Hoke’s article. In this section, he discusses several preservation strategies, including periodic migration, using archival (non-proprietary) formats, and investigating new emerging technologies (such as nickel engraving). Throughout his article, Hoke reminds the reader that solutions must be tailored to the unique needs of the institution and the specific types of electronic records. He concludes by providing four recommendations: determine the highest level of risk the institution is willing to take; assess the current effectiveness of the overall digital collection; survey the existing tools, strategies, and tactics used for preservation; and commit to long-term asset management.

Title A name given to the resource Preservation in the Digital Age: A Review of Preservation Literature, 2009-10 Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource In response to a ten-year gap between publishing surveys on library collections preservation, Karen F. Gracey and Miriam B. Kahn conducted an extensive review of the literature on digitization and preservation of libraries and archives. The literature includes such non-traditional sources as multimedia conference proceedings and blogs. Although their printed bibliography contains mainly traditional academic sources, including research articles and book chapters, their entire survey is available online. The authors classify the literature into categories based on areas of current professional interest and emphasize the critical issues and key resources for digital archivists, librarians, and curators. Overarching issues for preservation include the transition from being a largely custodial function to developing principles for long-term preservation and the development of tools for promoting greater intellectual access to the content. By combining curatorial principles with traditional preservation and risk management functions, digital archives, libraries, and museums are adopting similar, standardized practices. Several articles discuss the development of standard metadata schemes for multiple and heterogeneous artefacts and the corresponding open-access tool kits and consortiums dedicated to fostering systematic methods for digital preservation. Recommendations for implementing strategic planning recur throughout most of the articles, including those in the last section, “The New Preservationist.” Gracey and Kahn emphasize taking a wide view of the lifecycle and the potential uses of digital materials. One of the underlying themes is the expressed desire for robust, technical and organizational standards, matched by an awareness that universal standards, practices, funding, and digital curation skills are lagging behind the needs. Abstract A summary of the resource. This paper surveys research and professional literature on preservation-related topics published in 2009 and 2010, identifies key contributions to the field in periodicals, monographs, and research reports, and provides a guide to the changing landscape of preservation in the digital age. The authors have organized the reviewed literature into five major areas of interest: tensions in preservation work as libraries embrace digital resources, mass digitization and its effects on collections, risk management and disaster response, digital preservation and curation, and education for preservation in the digital age.

Title A name given to the resource Defining "born digital": an essay Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource Erway provides a succinctly defined list of fundamental tasks and issues to consider when creating and preserving digital collections. Born-digital resources are simply “items created and managed in digital form.” Erway begins his essay by describing nine basic types of born-digital items including documents, images, data sets and digital media. He accompanies each description with recommended methods for preservation, noting that some types, such as documents, may require emulating the original software that created the document. Many factors affect born-digital preservation, such as whether or not the document was created with proprietary software, the hardware and operating system are obsolescent, or how the document might be used in the future. Erway discusses key issues affecting the preservation of born-digital items by assessing the inherent risks and detailing seven fundamental archival challenges. A key issue, such as “bit rot” adds to the complexity of adapting archival standards to digital collections. Standard archival principles, including provenance, are jeopardized by loss or corruption of digital data or by the proprietary nature of some software. Documents protected by such software may not be able to provide contextual information that might be useful for establishing the document’s origins and relationships to other items in the collection. Erway also illuminates a fundamental archival challenge in balancing the creator’s right to privacy against the public right to access. In summary, Erway offers three steps for beginning a digital archive: establish basic policies for each type of born-digital item; inventory the digital collection and determine what formats and media storage ensure long-term sustainability; and seek other people and institutions developing similar digital collections.

Title A name given to the resource Looking Out and Keeping The Gate Open: Wairarapa Archive, New Zealand's Greatest Little Archive Subject The topic of the resource Collective memory Description An account of the resource Authors Sandy Green and Gareth Winter narrate the history of the Wairarapa Archive located in southeast New Zealand. They attribute the popularity and growth of this archive to its successful partnerships and community outreach program, as well as its adherence to archival standards. Green and Winter’s historical account traces the archive’s beginning as a print and photo-based collection housed in the basement of the local library, to a dynamic archive comprised of several collections, many of which are digitized. Wairarapa archive’s popularity is largely to due to what author/archivist Gareth Winter, describes “keeping the gate open.” The “open gate” refers to the accessibility of the archive and the staff’s willingness to provide several services and cooperative programs with the community. Services and collaborations include sponsoring oral history projects, supporting both technically and physically, the local genealogical society, digitizing photographs, records, and newspapers for other institutions as well as its own collections and providing both published works and school field trips to provide continuing education to its public. The archive thus evolved from primarily functioning as a holding repository for local historical and governmental records, to providing educational and historian services. The variety and extent of the collaboration between the Wairarapa archive and several local and national organizations is fundamental to the archive’s ongoing success and funding.

Title A name given to the resource 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. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gililand, Anne J.

Title A name given to the resource Without the Data the Tools are Useless; Without the Software, the Data is Unmanageable Subject The topic of the resource Web archiving Description An account of the resource In this article, Michael Moss archivist and professor of Library and Information Science at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, decries the user-centered philosophy of Web 2.0 and believes the emphases on “collective intelligence” and “lightweight user interfaces” challenge the integrity of records and are responsible for critical losses of data and the current global financial crisis. He believes data is being compromised by such Web 2.0 technologies as anonymous tagging and blogs, and advocates a return to traditional archival principles, including “authenticity, integrity, and trust.” Moss cites historic cases in which archives were used to defend the public’s right to know in opposition to executive power. From England’s Civil War in the 1660s to illegal arms contracting between the Syrian government and BAE System (a London-based global company marketing defense, aerospace, and security service), Moss defends the archive’s objectivity and commitment to preserving the authenticity and integrity of its records. Without traditional archival values and methods, information exposing injustices would be lost. Moss is not recommending a return to manual forms of record keeping whereby several levels of staff would check and cross-reference each other’s work. He does propose, however, a coordinated effort among IT managers, record keepers, and archivists, to control the classification and dissemination of data through greater focus on content. Moreover, by encouraging archivists to embrace their “fiduciary responsibilities” (serving public institutions with practiced objectivity and authority), the public is protected from lax accounting or illegal actions perpetuated by unrestricted, open-access digital commerce. Abstract A summary of the resource. This essay explores the relationship between the curation of information in the digital environment by archivists and records managers and the technologies that support it. The author argues that this will require a sharing of responsibility within a framework of trust. He maintains that a consequence of the financial crisis, in which technology has played a large contributing part, is that there will be a greater emphasis on transparency of electronic processes and not just inputs and outputs. In these developments, he draws a distinction between records management operating within an institutional framework of risk, and the archive, particularly in the public sector, curating the records that will allow the executive to be brought to account. He concludes that such a restatement in a period of severe financial restraint will without doubt impact on the current ‘access’ agenda.

Subject The topic of the resource Curation Description An account of the resource In this article, author Joanna Newman reports the findings of her survey of local community archives in New Zealand. Newman designed a survey to evaluate only archives whose records held sustained value for the governance, historical research, and legal administration of their respective communities. Newman also distinguished these archives from libraries and museums by their stated mission to preserve and sustain long-term access to its records. She incorporated the standards and principles of archival theory adopted by the United States and New Zealand in the survey and synthesized them into three main categories for comparison: organization, the archives, themselves, and community engagement. Newman discovered officially sanctioned local community archives were more likely to receive the funding and highly skilled staff necessary for maintaining the physical environment and professional standards associated with other institutional archives. She also noted that while inter-institutional collaboration was less evident and significant for the New Zealand community archives than comparable archives in the United States, the archivist’s enthusiasm and support of local volunteers were influential factors in the archive’s overall sustainability. Newman explains that archivists offer assurance that standards will be upheld and local volunteers strengthen the connections between the archive and its community. Together these factors help ensure continued use and funding by the local authorities.

Bracker's Orchid Photographs Collection Subject The topic of the resource Archives Description An account of the resource In this article, authors, Hurford and Runyon, describe the series of tasks and types of collaboration needed to create a digital collection. These tasks include strategies for classifying and managing files, developing metadata, establishing criteria for selecting, editing, and exporting items, and enhancing public access. The unique challenges for creating a born-digital collection are illuminated in their detailed case study of the “Charles E. Bracker’s Photographic Digital Collection,” located in Ball State University’s Digital Media Repository. The authors cite the challenges of archiving Bracker’s digital photographs, including a lack of captions, context clues, and order of creation, as evidence for requiring the collaboration and expertise of various specialists. Archivists, librarians, technology systems administrators, and in this case, an orchid specialist, developed file categories, descriptive metadata fields, and developed a web interface capable of integrating and cross-referencing the data. In addition to the principle of collaboration, the authors defend the rationale for replacing a traditional archival principle, “original order,” with specialized directories--a principle of practicality necessitated by the massive amount of digital data without contextual information. Abstract A summary of the resource. Traditional archival processing methods and description standards often do not apply to born-digital media, requiring the development of new methods and standards.

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. The article outlines a workflow of tasks and strategies unique to the Charles E. Bracker’s Photographic Digital Collection, but common to the field of digital archiving. Key points, including file management, metadata, designing a web interface, and planning for both preservation and growth of the archive, are critical elements in building a digital archive. archival standards born digital collaboration digital conversion http://dar.cah.ucf.edu/files/original/c7b967dcadca38724ae9513721b827ed.jpg 46887c8816324d62035c5e0f43a3b40b Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Title A name given to the resource Understanding Digital Humanities Subject The topic of the resource Digital Humanities Description An account of the resource In his introduction to Understanding Digital Humanities, David Berry traces the history of digital humanities—an evolving method and theory of interpreting the effects of digitization and computation on society and culture, while simultaneously adopting and inventing computational processes for guiding its nascent discipline. Notable scholars and pathfinders in the field were selected to write the essays featured in this book, which illuminate fundamental and often controversial issues of the digital humanities,. These issues include the relationship between computation and literacy, aesthetics, gender studies, and the invention and application of data mining tools for interpreting vast quantities of cultural data. Of particular interest to the digital archivist is the Jussi Parikka’s essay, “Archives in Media Theory: Material Media Archaeology and Digital Humanities.” Parikka believes the archive offers a basis for theory and theoretical backing for digital humanities work, especially studies that focus on calculating effects and representing patterns. The non-narrative, non-discursive, and database logic of the archive presents a digital space, a metaphor, and a method for ingesting and interpreting the vast amount of information transmitted daily through digital media. By breaking down the study of digital media and culture into a study of the digital object’s materiality, its purposes, its historical and cultural context, and its representation and preservation, the archive as method becomes apparent—an apt metaphor Berry uses to describe the Internet’s resources, the “new infinite archive.” Digital archivists will also find the final chapter, “Transdisciplinarity and Digital Humanities: Lessons Learned from Developing Text-Mining Tools for Textual Analysis” by Yu-Wei Lin, useful for promoting collaborative efforts between software engineers and humanists, and for extending the reach of archives into scholarly research and knowledge creation.
