Full textAbstract:
Archival collections have particular properties that make physical and intellectual access difficult for researchers. This generates feelings of uncertainty in the researchers leading to a large burden of enquiries to the archive, many routine. In this thesis I investigate the information seeking behaviours of archival researchers and the distinct properties of the archive first through the respective literatures and then through a series of five studies. Using systems, data and researchers from the National Archives, these studies examine the nature of the enquiries archives receive across many channels, the in-person interactions between archivists and researchers in the reading rooms and the unmediated search behaviours of archival researchers. I proceed to outline the barriers inhibiting research progress and the techniques or 'regulators' used by researchers to surmount or mitigate these barriers. In the final two studies I develop and attempt to validate an instrument for measuring uncertainty in information seeking in large digital collections. This three factor (disorientation, prospect and preparedness) scale of archival uncertainty allows improvements to online archival systems to be effectively tested before implementation. I also propose system properties which seem likely to assist researchers to make progress given these factors and which could be tested using this instrument.

Full textAbstract:
Community expressions-specifically, annual events manifested by groups other than official organizations-can be sites for transmission of crucial understandings of the past that have not achieved representation in formal archives. In this dissertation, to locate the minor narratives of history I analyze a community expression with my focus honed on the ephemeral matter used within it, to imitate and question the reliance in archives on evidence, and explore ephemera as important focus points for the transmission of collective memory. The ephemerally embodied event I studied as an "archive" was the All Souls Procession, a grassroots annual celebration and parade in honor of the dead in Tucson, Arizona. To convey and interpret perspectives from the community enacting and participating in this event through engagement with ephemera, I have used three questions as my guide: How are ephemera used in All Souls Procession events as commemorative community expressions? How has the history of the All Souls Procession been shaped around the commemorative use of ephemera in relationship with recorded documents? And, What are the implications for archives of this case of commemoration through ephemeral community expression? Through qualitative methods of data collection including participant observation, document analysis, and unstructured interviews with thirteen current and former All Souls Procession organizers, I have found two overarching themes in the discourse around ephemeral commemoration in this event: processing the past and softening community boundaries. I found that through these themes of use, ephemera in the All Souls Procession anchor collective memory while constituting community boundaries, meeting a growing need to define and connect "members" of a rapidly expanding "community." With community membership defined as volunteerism in ASP events, ephemera function as iconic draws toward this event, attracting people to a unified theme and then engaging them in constructing it anew, as its ephemeral building blocks must be regularly recreated. Ephemera in this study were also found to help claim ownership and authority for the All Souls community, through occupation of space and memory. Concluding this work are three propositions: First, that in such community expressions, competing "archives" may face off against one another in the online arena, which is both ephemeral and enduring; Second, the use of ephemera as commemorative matter may give a community leverage in controlling records about the past, yet in increasingly transparent ways. Third, as they adapt to the model of participatory archives seen increasingly in the digital archival landscape, users can deploy strategies-forging alliances and "communities" that result in effacements and master narratives, the latter of which are then celebrated as community histories through new cycles of ephemeral commemoration. I ultimately retheorize the archive as collective action to construct, efface, and build community around history, supporting the notion that the more collective, or massive, or spectacular the telling of a story, the better it competes to become a history.

Reyes, Brenda. "A Grounded Theory of Information Quality in Web Archives." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2018. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1248497/.
Full textAbstract:
Web archiving is the practice of preserving websites as a historical record. It is a technologically-challenging endeavor that has as its goal the creation of a high-quality archived website that looks and behaves exactly like the original website. Despite the importance of the notion of quality, comprehensive definitions of Information Quality (IQ) in a web archive have yet to be developed. Currently, the field has no single, comprehensive theory that describes what is a high-quality or low-quality archived website. Furthermore, most of the research that has been conducted on web archives has been system-centered and not user-centered, leading to a dearth of information on how humans perceive web archives. This dissertation seeks to remedy this problem by presenting a user-centered grounded theory of IQ for web archives. It answers two research questions: 1) What is the definition of information quality (IQ) for web archives? and 2) How can IQ in a web archive be measured? The theory presented is grounded on data obtained from users of the Internet Archive's Archive-It system, the largest web-archiving subscription service in the United States. Also presented are mathematical definitions for each dimension of IQ, which can then be applied to measure the quality of a web archive.

Moller, Austin. "Documenting archival automation systems : guidelines for the project manager." PDXScholar, 1985. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/3552.
Full textAbstract:
With the onset of the information age, archivists are more frequently placed in professional situations where they must work with automated systems to manage the records in their custody. They must acquire new skills to use this technology, including system analysis, system planning, and the principles of computer operation. An area that is frequently neglected, however, is that of developing and maintaining in-house project documentation for systems once equipment is in place and implementation has begun. This oversight leads to poor training strategies, inconsistencies in input and output, and information loss when personnel changes occur.
Project documentation is the group of records that describe the system the archivist creates. It is a communications tool, developed by the project manager as a reference document for administrative and operations purposes, and to train users.
The documentation guidelines assembled in this text were developed by the author while implementing automated systems over a six-year period. They are arranged in five groups. SCOPE discusses ways to introduce the user to the project, the equipment, and to the concept of the project manual. SYSTEM ORIENTATION contains strategies for more detailed instruction on the equipment. INPUT shows how to describe the data base design and instruct the user on entering data. OUTPUT provides a format for profiling and generating reports. And OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE outlines the tools the project manager needs to maintain the system.

Government information is an important part of the "knowledge infrastructure" of a government's citizens, in the way such information provides a reliable knowledge base relating both to laws and to everyday life. In addition, government information forms part of the historical and cultural heritage and serves as a means of accountability for current and future generations, provided that this information is archived and that its long-term accessibility is ensured. Recently, central and local governments in Japan have developed a variety of policies concerning government information, including: (1) development of e-government and (2) promotion of archival systems. This article reviews these policies and discusses the challenges faced by libraries and archives in Japan in maintaining government information as part of the nation's knowledge infrastructure.

Art HistoryM.A.
Queer artists have engaged archives throughout modern and contemporary American art, but art historical discourse of their work has centered the writing of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault to theorize these spaces without considering archival scholarship. This text takes up Gabriel Martinez’s Archive series as a case study to critique archival selection theory and better understand how prejudice has affected the preservation of queer folx’s collections. Martinez’s series is situated amongst other Western artworks that center archival records and queer themes throughout the last century. This section places his artwork in dialogue with other artists for whom the archive is the subject of their artwork. The artworks detailed exemplify the multiplicity of ways that queer folx critique and interpret the histories preserved in these institutions. Following this survey of art is an analysis of how archival records are selected for preservation and the inherent subjectivity of this task. Pedagogical writing on archival selection by Frank Boles, Richard Cox, and James O’Toole are consulted to better understand how archivists working in the field are taught to handle this type of work. Most of their writing is focused on traditional archives and fails to articulate the challenges facing counterarchives, spaces formed to compensate for the erasure of queer persons in traditional institutions. This review of archival scholarship ends with a critique of how queer counterarchives have fallen short of their inclusive aims. The final section of this text is dedicated to a close study of Martinez’s Archive series. His photographs document the Harry R. Eberlin photograph collection and the John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives in Philadelphia. The historical context of the Eberlin collection and the founding of its host repository are presented in conjunction with Archive series because Martinez’s compositions are inseparable from these histories. Philadelphia queer culture in the 1970s and 1980s is revealed through the retelling of these histories and by examining who was visualized in the images themselves. These images of bars and events simultaneously reveal the gender and racial disparity of patronage within these spaces and exemplify long-standing tensions in the city’s queer spaces. Lastly, this text posits a practice called “pseudo-processing” where artists document and preserve facsimiles of archival records to question the divisions of archival labor from that of an artist performing comparable tasks.

Full textAbstract:
Les archives audiovisuelles renferment, indubitablement, des éléments importants du patrimoine culturel. Mais, bien que les archives audiovisuelles existent voilà plus de 50 ans et ne cessent de se multiplier de jour en jour, leur définition précise, tout de même, est objet à polémique ou, à tout le moins, est très ambigüe. En plus, vu la fréquence et l’intervalle de leur réutilisation, force est de se demander s’il n’y a pas l’émergence d’une nouvelle forme d’archives : les « archives immédiates ». Il faut aussi se demander si le « genre archives » n’est pas en train de s’ériger comme un genre nouveau. Par ailleurs, ces archives sont, partout, particulièrement en Afrique noire, menacées d’extinction. D’une part, les variétés des supports analogiques et, de l’autre, les multiples formats numériques pour les sauvegarder et les réutiliser, demeurent un dilemme. Pourtant, l’impérieuse nécessité de rendre accessibles et compréhensibles, en tout temps et en tout lieu, les fonds patrimoniaux audiovisuels accumulés, s’impose. Un patrimoine, pour être pérenne, doit traverser les âges, dépasser les contingences techniques et se faire approprier sous son éclairage le plus net. Cette thèse étudie les solutions pour pérenniser les archives audiovisuelles et permettre de comprendre et de retrouver le contexte dans lequel elles ont été produites. Effectivement, leur contextualisation, notamment pour ce qui est relatif au patrimoine culturel particulier africain, commande une indexation très spécifique, comparativement aux archives écrites traditionnelles. Ceci révèle une démarche documentaire singulière pour perpétuer, faire circuler et revaloriser le patrimoine culturel audiovisuel africain dans le contexte de la mondialisation de l’information documentaire audiovisuelle. Le bon usage des archives audiovisuelles africaines doit se conformer à ces conditions indispensables pour être un contrepoids qui pèse dans l’échange globalisé de l’information audiovisuelleAudiovisual archives undoubtedly contain important elements of cultural heritage. But while audiovisual archives exist here over 50 years and are continuing to multiply by the day, their precise definition, nonetheless, is subject to controversy, or at least very ambiguous. In addition, due to the frequency and interval of reuse, it is reasonable to wonder whether there is not the birth of new form of archives: the "immediate archives". Moreover, these archives are everywhere, especially in Black Africa, threatened with extinction. On one hand, the varieties of analog media and, on the other, the multiple digital formats to save and reuse them remain a dilemma. Also, the problem of preserving and reusing these collections remains an ongoing concern. Yet it is imperative to make accessible and understandable, at all times and in all places, the accumulated audiovisual patrimony funds, regardless of the media on which this heritage is recorded. To be sustainable and appropriate under its clearest signification, a heritage must, through the ages, exceed the technical contingencies and of interpretation. This thesis studies the solutions to make audiovisual archives sustainable and to allow to understand and to find out the context in which they were produced. Indeed, their contextualization, including what relates especially to the African cultural heritage, reveals to be a very specific indexing control, compared to traditional written records. This unveils a singular documentary approach in order to perpetuate and assure circulation and upgrading the African audiovisual cultural heritage in the context of the globalization of audiovisual documentary information. The proper use of African audiovisual archives must comply with these conditions needed to be a counterweight that hangs in the globalized exchange of audiovisual information

Full textAbstract:
The Lee Valley Industrial Heritage Electronic Archive (LVIHEA) is a model record of industrial buildings composed as a composite of multimedia data files relevant to the interpretation of the region's dynamic industrial environment. The design criteria concerning natural, human and artificial resources are applicable to education and heritage management strategies. The prototype model was evaluated in terms of its efficacy and effectiveness with designated user groups. The developed model will enable qualitative and quantitative analyses concerning the economic, social and industrial history of the region. It can be used as a pedagogic tool for instruction in the principles of structured data design, construction, storage and retrieval, and for techniques of data collection. Furthermore the data sets can be closely analysed and manipulated for interpretative purposes. Chapter one attempts to define the Lee Valley in terms of its geographic, historical, economic and societal context. The aims and resources of the project are outlined and the study is placed in the bibliographic context of similar studies. Thereafter it addresses the processes leading to and a description of the structure of the prototype model. A paper model is presented and the data structures conforming lo or compatible with established planning, archiving and management protocols and strategies are described and evaluated. Chapter two is a detailed description and rationale of the archive's data files and teaching and learning package. It outlines procedures of multimedia data collection and digitisation and provides an evaluative analysis. Chapter three looks at the completed prototype and reviews the soft systems methodology approach to problem analysis used throughout the project. Sections examining the LVIHEA in use and the practical issues of disseminating it follow. The chapter concludes by reviewing the significance of the research and indicates possible directions for further research. The survey is artifact rather than document led and begins with the contemporary landscape before "excavating" to reveal first the recent and then the more distant past. However, many choices for inclusion are necessarily reactive rather than proactive in response to the regular "crises" where conservation is just one consideration in a complex development. Progressive strategies are sometimes sacrificed for the immediate opportunity to record information concerning an artifact under imminent threat of destruction. It is acknowledge that the artefact (building) would usually disappear before its associated documentation and that therefore it was imperative to obtain as much basic detail as possible about as many sites as possible. It is hoped that greater depth can be achieved by tracking down the documentation to its repositories when time permits. Amenity groups had already focussed their attention on many of the more "interesting" sites and every opportunity was taken to incorporate their findings into the LVIHEA. This study provides an insight into the cycle of development and decline of an internationally important industrial landscape. It does so in a structured environment incorporating modem digital technology while providing a framework for continuing study.

Le Web crée chaque jour une quantité importante de connaissances culturelles et intellectuelles.

Son succès sera cependant mesuré parses modes d’accès, comme ceux fournis jusqu’ici par le web. Notre recherche situe dans le contexte del’accès aux archives web, et étudie les différents problèmes d’accès qui y sont liés. Ces problèmes sontgroupés en deux thèmes principaux : Méthodes d’accès et Optimisation des accès. Pour les méthodesd’accès, nous proposons la base d’un langage de requête ayant par objectif de de mieux satisfaire lesbesoins d’information des utilisateurs. Une nouvelle méthode de navigation est ensuite introduite, quiprend en compte la cohérence des pages. Pour l’optimisation de l’accès, nous proposons un algorithmede détection de changement pour comprendre et quantifier ce qui s’est passé (et a donc changé) entredeux versions d’une même page Web. Nous étudions aussi le comportement des différentes méthodesd’élagage d’index statiques avec des requêtes temporelles. En outre, nous proposons une nouvelle méthode d’élagage index statiques basée sur la diversification et nous montrons son application aux collections temporelles et un gain supstanciel de performance par rapport aux autres approachesAn important amount of the world’s cultural and intellectual knowledge is being created on the webeveryday. However, the web has en ephemeral nature e. G. New information replaces older informationconstantly without any notification, leaving a significant gap in our knowledge. That’s why archivingthe web has become a cultural necessity to preserve the knowledge for the next generations. However,the success of any web archive will be measured by the means of access it provides; as it is the casetoday on the real web. Our research is placed in the context of access to web archives and studiesdifferent research problems related to this issue. These research problems are grouped into two maintopics: Access Methods and Optimization of Access. For access methods, we first propose a conceptualmodel, as well as operators to manipulate them, as the basis of a query language for web archives tobetter satisfy user information needs. Next, a new navigation method for web archives that takes thecoherence of pages into account is introduced. In the context of access optimization, we propose achange detection algorithm to understand and to quantify what happened (and thus changed) betweentwo versions of a web page. Then, we study the behavior of different static index pruning methodswith temporal queries before proposing a new diversification-based static index pruning method andshowing its application to temporal collections and a substantial gain in performance

Full textAbstract:
This research explored the knowledge, skills, qualities, and professional education needs, of information professionals in galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) in Australia. The findings revealed that although full convergence of these sectors is unlikely, many of the skills, knowledge and qualities would be required across all four sectors. The research used the Grounded Delphi Method, a relatively new methodological extension of the Delphi method that incorporates aspects of Grounded Theory. The findings provide the first empirically based guidelines around what needs to be included in an educational framework for information professionals who will work in the emerging GLAM environment. As the first study of GLAM education requirements in Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region to take a holistic approach by engaging information professionals across all four sectors, this thesis makes a contribution to the GLAM research field and to information education generally.

Full textAbstract:
There is an ongoing evolution in scholarly communication. The traditional way of communicating scholarly results through scientific journals is beginning to be replaced by other means of dissemination. One new channel for scholars to communicate their results is digital publication in so-called open archives. An open archive is a kind of full text database, where a scholar may archive/publish his or her articles, as a complement or a substitute to publishing in scientific journals. There are discipline-oriented archives and institutional archives. The Open Archives Initiative OAI, set up in 1999, is a major development aimed at heightening interoperability between different open archives. The aim of this thesis is twofold. The first aim is to give an overview of the development of the OAI, mainly from a knowledge organizational perspective. The second purpose is to examine open archives from a historical, social and cultural perspective. The open archives movement has not been the immediate success that many of the advocators had hoped. It is also said that scholars in the humanities and the social sciences are more reluctant to self-archiving than scholars in the natural sciences. This thesis try to find out more about why scholars are reluctant and to examine whether it is true that scholars in the humanities and the social sciences are more reluctant, and if its true, why this is so. This study compiles some weaknesses with the OAI retrieval model that have been observed lately. Many of these weaknesses are related to human aspects of the retrieval model, for example issues related to the creation of metadata. The results show that scholars in the humanities and the social sciences have been slow to accept open archives, as a reliable channel of publication and dissemination and that the reasons for this may be historical, social and cultural. The study compiles different barriers that may prevent or delay a more widespread usage of open archives. Some barriers may affect scholars in all disciplines; other may mostly affect scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. This study proposes that historical, social and cultural issues have to be taken into consideration when new information retrieval systems are developed.Uppsatsnivå: D

This study, entitled Public outreach in the National Archives and Portuguese district archives: exhibitions of documents (1990-2009), is a contribution to a theoretical framework on one of the Archives missions: the public outreach. Our purpose is to deepen their current theoretical framework and contribute to the knowledge of the practice of this mission at the National Archives, district archives and equivalent archives, focusing on exhibitions mainly with documents. Starting from the idea of consolidation of Archives as socially valued entities by the general public, the concept of exhibition as means of outreach of the documental heritage is deepened with the identification of a set of best practices for exhibitions of documents. The study aims to contribute to the enlargement of the theoretical framework of public outreach in Portuguese Archives and contribute to a better understanding of the practice of this mission.

With over 5,800 documents as of June 2007 (over 5,000 in February 2007 when the archive was investigated in-depth), E-LIS is the world’s largest archive for LIS. Over half the documents in ELIS are peer-reviewed. E-LIS is particularly strong in English and Spanish language documents, but supports over 22 languages. With this multilingual support and a global team of volunteer editors, E-LIS has significant diversity in content, an advantage over traditional, english-based LIS resources. Not surprising, this tool designed by and for librarians features robust and user friendly search options. Lack of phrase searching, and pointing to a cross-archiving searching tool no longer supported when much better options are available, are identified as areas for improvement.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Canadians increasingly used computers and computerized processes for government and business purposes. By the 1980s, some began to have personal computers at home. This thesis examines the experiences of emerging computerization by focusing on the Public Archives of Canada during this period.
The 1960s saw the first computer projects at the Public Archives, although these efforts had mixed reviews. Many archivists feared that automated information retrieval would compromise the quality of their service, and professional position, while others argued that computers were a necessary efficiency to meet the growing demands on their institution. Overall, the decade of the 1960s was one in which many archivists encountered computers, computerized processes and computer records for the first time, and they responded with a range of feelings and reactions.
By the outset of the 1970s, a select group of advocates proposed the concept of a Machine Readable Archives. When the creation of this division was approved in 1973, its staff members formed a distinct professional community within the Public Archives. They held a complex position as the computer "haves" of the federal archives and records management community, and the relative "have nots" in their communication with departmental computer personnel. The Machine Readable Archives became the hub of attempted communication and cooperation among all of these players, during the period of major technological development during the 1970s and early 1980s.
By the time of the Machine Readable Archives' closure in 1986, computers were frequently used as an archival tool. A survey among archival leaders in the mid-1980s concluded that archivists, once a technologically conservative profession, had not only adopted the use of computers into their repositories, but most of them were optimistic about their profession's role in the evolving technological environment.
Archivists' changing views of computers paralleled the increasing acceptance and familiarity of computer technology within Canadian society. To accommodate computerization, many Canadians adapted their work processes, and negotiated new work relationships. In Canada during these years, individuals responded to computers, personally and professionally, in complex and contradictory ways that reflected both reservations and excitement. The Public Archives of Canada, and especially the Machine Readable Archives, provide a significant focus to analyse this dynamic and changing milieu as Canadians engaged with the technological and cultural transformations of the era.

Full textAbstract:
Researchers have referred to Vladimir Putin as a “History man”. It has been confirmed that he takes a great personal interest in history and frequently speaks about the topic. However, previous research has not taken account for how Putin gives his statements about history additional authority. One way in which he does this is by referring to archives and archival documents, thus giving his statements about history an additional aura of “truthfulness”. This essay aims to partially fill the gap in previous research by examining Putin’s statements about history and archives from a perspective of archival science by asking the following research questions: “How does Putin view archives and archival records?”, “What can archives be used for and what characteristics are they given by Putin?”. The theoretical and methodological basis for this essay is discourse analysis and Jörn Rüsen’s typology of historical narratives. By examining the discourses Vladimir Putin expresses and reproduces about archives insight has been gained into the way in which a prominent politician uses archives, how he views their function in society and what their characteristics are. As Vladimir Putin seemingly always speaks about archives in relation to history the latter could not be ignored, which is why Rüsens’ typology was used to examine what kind of historical narrative Putin expresses when speaking about archives. The analysis in this essay shows that Vladimir Putin has a strong belief in archives as mirrors of the past. According to the Russian President archives portray a completely accurate and unquestionable account for how history has unfolded. He dismisses any historical narrative that is not based on archival documents as politicized speculation. In Putin’s eyes archives also play a central role in preserving a common, national heritage for the entire Russian nation as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
The right to privacy is the right of individuals to determine, within reasonable limits, the extent to which they are known to others. Over the last twenty years the enormous increase in the amount of personal information on citizens maintained in government record-keeping systems has led to increasing public concern for information privacy. Computer technology has contributed to the collection, preservation and use of massive bodies of highly detailed personal information documenting individual characteristics as well as a broad range of social transactions. Automated record-keeping systems permit the linking of personal information from a wide variety of government data banks, a capability which, civil libertarians fear, is vulnerable to abuse.
The social contract underlying relations between citizens and the state requires that individuals surrender some measure of privacy in return for physical and social protection. But how far does that contract extend? Does the social contract which, implicitly, governs the collection of personal information in the interests of administering various social benefits, also entitle archivists, as the official keepers of government records, to permit subsequent uses of that information once its administrative usefulness has been exhausted?
Social researchers, including social historians, take an affirmative position, arguing that the closure of records containing personal information is a violation of the principle of freedom of enquiry or the scholar's right to pursue and to communicate knowledge in the interest of a greater societal good. The question is, does freedom of enquiry possess the same moral value as the right to privacy? In situations where the two values conflict, where does the archivist's moral duty lie? The thesis will address these questions by examining the ethical justifications for and against research uses of personal information and the social role the archivist plays in mediating the competing moral claims for privacy and access. The thesis concludes that, in a democratic society, the right to privacy supersedes the scholar's freedom of enquiry. In situations where the two values conflict, archivists, as the public trustees of the record, must act on behalf of that public to ensure that the right to privacy is not violated.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is a study of the management processes in university and college archives in the United Kingdom and Canada. Assumptions raised in the literature, which have not been systematically examined, were investigated. The archivists' responses to five external pressures were determined, namely, the electronic revolution, information management, new legislation, the increase in the volume of records and in the number of users. Three internal issues were also examined, namely, the image of archivists, the relationship between archives and libraries and the education and training of archivists. Research methods were used to conduct the study. Two populations, university and college archives in the United Kingdom and Canada, were defined and stratified random samples were selected. Two instruments were used (a) an interview format containing questions about management processes and (b) a three-part questionnaire: (i) a climate survey of perceptions of the work environment and the amount of change required (ii) the most favoured aspects of work and the most serious problems and (iii) classification information. Copies of written policies and procedures were requested. A pilot project to pre-test the instruments resulted in some modification.Arrangements were made to visit the head archivists of the selected archives and the two instruments were administered. The results were analysed by tabulation, content-analysis and the use of statistical tests. The quantitative and qualitative findings demonstrated the archivists' responses to external and internal pressures. Numerous similarities in the two groups were confirmed and some significant differences were identified. Many of the assumptions raised in the literature were verified; others, however, were not validated. The results of the various sections re-enforced one another. Conclusions and recommendations were presented. The study confirmed that systematic research provided explicit information regarding the management processes of the two populations.

Full textAbstract:
This research provides a theoretical and practical framework for the preservation of digital artifacts with a focus on the sustainability of the repertoire of contemporary music with live electronics. The sustainability of instrumental music relies on the organology of musical instruments, the teaching of instrumental practices, and musical notation. In the context of music with live electronics, these three principles are challenged by several factors: the rapid obsolescence of idiosyncratic software for live electronics, the complex social context of the production of these digital artifacts, and the difficulty in providing a prescriptive notation. This thesis investigates the impact of these issues on digital archives theory and models and further conceptualises the notion of performance of digital archives with a focus on the sociological context of digital object creation. This research is divided into three complementary studies at the intersection of three research fields: digital archives, knowledge management, music research. The first study provides a conceptual framework for preserving the intelligibility of digital artifacts. It builds on the notion of significant properties and proposes a framework for significant knowledge, which accounts for the tacit dimension of the knowledge involved in the production of these artifacts. A knowledge management model was selected and operationalised in the context of documentation process of electroacoustic and mixed music. We invited composers to respond to an online survey to test the operationalisation of the model and relied on non-parametric statistics to evaluate its relevance. Our findings highlight the benefits of using this model for contemporary music preservation and the potential for expanding this operationalisation to other artistic contexts. The second study focusses on the specification of the creative process underlying the production of digital artifacts. We applied grounded theory to secondary ethnographic data (including interviews, video recordings of work sessions and written reports) of a 2-year creative process of a string quartet with live electronics. The actors included the composer, the computer music designer, performers, researchers and engineers. The outcome of this study is a rich multi-level categorisation of the creative process of a contemporary work with live electronics, which stresses the limits of standard a posteriori documentation and shows the potential lacks in a documentation based on current music theories. This study provides an extension of the notion of digital artifacts to a broader sociological context accounting for both human and non-human agents involved in the creative process. The third study models the main findings of both previous studies in terms of digital archives, specifically extending the OAIS (Open Archival Information System). We propose a practical framework accounting for the relationship between creative processes and digital objects during their archival lifecycle. This framework contributes to formalising the link between data producers and digital archives, in order to better relate to ingestion and appraisal policies in the context of archives of contemporary music with live electronics. The methodological, theoretical and practical outcomes of this research may benefit other contexts, as live electronics have garnered increased interest in a wide range of artistic domains including dance, theatre and art installations. We further conceptualise the archival notion of performance of digital archives with a social extent involving both human and non-human agents, which has an impact on maintaining the intelligibility of digital objects.Cette recherche a pour objectif de fournir un cadre théorique et pratique de préservation des artéfacts numériques tout spécialement orienté vers la pérennité du répertoire de musique contemporaine avec électronique en temps réel. La pérennité de la musique instrumentale repose sur l'organologie des instruments de musique, l'enseignement de la pratique instrumentale, et la notation musicale, qui dans notre contexte sont remis en cause par plusieurs facteurs : l'obsolescence rapide des logiciels idiosyncratiques de traitement du signal en temps réel, le contexte social complexe de production de ces artéfacts numériques, et la difficulté à fournir une notation prescriptive. Cette recherche questionne l'impact de ces problématiques sur la théorie et les modèles des archives numériques autour d'un intérêt particulier pour le contexte socialde création des objets numériques. La première étude élabore un cadre conceptuel pour la préservation de l'intelligibilité des artéfacts numériques. Pour ce faire, elle part de la notion de propriétés significatives pour l'étendre à la notion de connaissances tacites à travers la proposition de définition et d'opérationnalisation des connaissances significatives impliquées dans la production des artéfacts numériques. Cette étude a donc fourni une opérationnalisation d'un modèle de gestion des connaissances en vue du processus de documentation. Un questionnaire en ligne a été disséminé auprès de la communauté des compositeurs en musique électroacoustique et mixte afin de recueillir des données relatives à cette opérationnalisation. Des méthodes statistiques non-paramétriques ont été utilisées afin d'évaluer la pertinence du modèle. Nos résultats mettent en lumière les bénéfices de l'utilisation du modèle pour la préservation du répertoire et le potentiel d'expansion de cette opérationnalisation à d'autres contextes artistiques. La deuxième étude propose une formalisation du processus créatif soutenant la production des objets numériques dans le contexte des oeuvres de musique contemporaine avec électronique en temps réel. L'analyse des données repose sur la théorie ancrée, appliquée à des données secondaires de type ethnographique (entrevues, enregistrement vidéo des séances de travail et rapports écrits) d'un processus créatif multi-agents. Les résultats de cette étude montre un riche réseau de concepts catégorisant le processus créatif des oeuvres de musique contemporaine avec électronique en temps réel qui montre les faiblesses potentielles d'une documentation basée sur les théories musicales courantes. Cette étude permet d'étendre les limites de la notion d'artéfacts numériques à un contexte social plus large qui implique plusieurs agents, humains et non-humains, impliqués dans les processus créatifs. La troisième étude modélise l'impact des deux précédentes études en termes de modèles d'archives numériques. Plus spécifiquement, elle modélise l'impact sur le modèle OAIS (Open Archival Information System). Le résultat est un cadre pratique centré sur la relation entre les processus créatifs et les objets numériques pendant leur cycle de vie d'archives. Ce cadre pratique contribue à la formalisation du lien entre producteuret archives numériques afin de mieux spécifier des politiques d'acquisition et d'évaluation dans le contexte des archives de musique contemporaine avec électronique en temps réel. De par l'utilisation récente des technologies de traitement du signal en temps réel dans d'autres domaines artistiques, comme la danse, le théâtre, et les installations, les résultats, en termes de méthodologie et de modélisation, sont susceptibles d'avoir un impact plus large que le contexte de cette recherche. Sur la base de ces études, nous proposons une extension de la notion archivistique de performance des archives numériques, qui inclue un réseau social multi-agent, qu'ils soient humains ou non-humains, et qui se répercute sur la préservation de l'intelligibilité des objets numériques.

The study set out to find how artists organize and use their personal collections from a Personal Information Management (PIM) perspective, and how that use affects their practice and their art production. A secondary object of the study was to articulate the ways that personal collections are utilized as tools by creative users. The empirical data consisted of five qualitative, semi-structured interviews with Swedish and Norwegian sound artists. The constant comparative method was used for analysis, and Activity Theory was used as a theore- tical framework for the study. The study concluded that artists’ personal collections, while diverse in content and structure, serve the same functions as tools in creative processes, and that attention to the uses of personal collections highlight needs that could be better met by integrated PIM-functionality. The study also concluded that artists constitute an underutilized resource for future PIM-research and that artists’ personal collection use provides insight into creative use of collections, and highlights potential direc- tions for future development of PIM tools. This paper is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

The values and motives behind e-Government projects are sometimes taken forgranted and are often considered as synchronised. Electronic archives can beconsidered a vital e-Government project, and the aim of this study was toinvestigate the values behind electronic archive projects for government agencies.This was achieved by investigating four different specifically chosen governmentagencies: three with electronic archives, and one without, and then assessing themusing the theoretical framework set out in Rose et al's article ’Managinge-Government’ published in Info Systems Journal in 2015: value position theory.The chosen government agencies were: Migrationsverket (the Swedish MigrationAgency), Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency), Energimydigheten (the SwedishEnergy Agency), and Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (Sweden’s GeologicalSurvey- SGU). Interviews were conducted with those archivists responsible for theelectronic archives at each of these four public agencies. The results of theinterviews were analysed using the value position theory. As a result, severaldifferent values were identified, though the values attached to professionality andefficiency ideals were more identifiable in the interviews than the values attachedto service and engagement. The values guiding the electronic archive projects werefound to be largely congruent. However, these values are not necessarilyrecognised on the state level, as shown by the fact that Statens Servicecenter’sproject has ended without result.

An efficient document management brings various benefits, not only for professionals of the area but, mainly, for business managers who can use this information in their decision-making to enjoy competitive advantages on competitors. Having in mind that effectiveness is a constant pursuit for any company in order to achieve their strategic goals and improve the techniques which enable more productivity using fewer financial resources. In this sense, it was sought to apply the Lean office in the document file management of Santa Fé Company, once it is necessary to improve the current processes with less waste and more efficiency, with a view to the need to suit the client more efficiently before their information necessities. Regarding to the method used, it is characterized as a research-action in a quali-quantitative approach, classified as exploratory and descriptive. The data collection was held through a participative observation, a non-structured interview, and a focus group realization, in order to achieve greater participation of workers in the construction of a current value flow mapping, identifying possible improvements, which can be implemented in order to build the future flow mapping, which is ideal for the good performance of proceedings. The chosen sector to apply this research was the dispatch sector, once it presents some critical points and for being a sector with a high document file demand. Regarding to the research application, the following steps were performed: Training and worker awareness about the Lean thinking; VFM current state; VFM future state; Action plan and results evaluation and discussion. Among the obtained research results, it stands out in a quantitative way the reduction of waste, with significant gains of Lead Time, diminishing the time to process the activities and the time at which the material awaits to be processed. Financial gains were also obtained with a better use of resources and a redesigning of the way to keeping the documents. In a qualitative way, a better working environment is highlighted with visual management practices to information communication and increase of the service efficiency in bringing more customer satisfaction.
Uma gestão documental eficiente traz diversos benefícios, não apenas ao profissional, mas, principalmente, aos gestores das empresas que podem usufruir de tais informações nas tomadas de decisão para desfrutar de vantagens competitivas acerca dos concorrentes. Tendo em vista que a eficácia é uma busca constante de qualquer empresa a fim de atingir os objetivos estratégicos e melhorar as técnicas que possibilitem mais produtividade com o uso de menos recursos financeiros. Nesse sentido, buscou-se aplicar o Lean office na gestão de arquivos do Grupo Santa Fé, uma vez que é preciso melhorar os processos atuais, com menos desperdícios e mais eficiência, tendo em vista a necessidade de atender o cliente com mais eficácia diante de suas necessidades informacionais. Quanto ao método utilizado, caracteriza-se por ser uma pesquisa-ação, de abordagem quali-quantitativa, classificada como exploratória e descritiva. A coleta dos dados realizou-se por meio de observação participante, entrevista não estruturada e realização de um grupo focal, com objetivo de obter maior participação dos colaboradores na construção do mapeamento do fluxo de valor atual, identificando possíveis melhorias que podem ser implantadas para assim construir o mapeamento de fluxo futuro, ideal ao bom andamento dos processos. O setor escolhido para aplicação do estudo foi o despachante, por apresentar alguns pontos críticos e também por ser o setor que mais apresenta demanda documental do arquivo. Em relação à aplicação da pesquisa, seguiram-se os seguintes passos: Treinamento e conscientização dos colaboradores para o pensamento Lean; MFV estado atual; MFV - estado Futuro; Plano de ação e Avaliação e discussão dos resultados. Entre os resultados obtidos da pesquisa realizada, destaca-se, de forma quantitativa, a redução de desperdícios com ganhos significativos do Lead Time, diminuindo o tempo gasto para processar as atividades e tempo em que o material fica parado, esperando para ser processado. Ganhos financeiros também foram obtidos, com mais aproveitamento dos recursos e uma reformulação na forma de guardar os documentos. De forma qualitativa, destaca-se um melhor ambiente de trabalho com práticas da gestão visual para comunicação das informações e aumento da eficiência do serviço prestado, gerando mais satisfação do cliente.

Includes bibliographical references.Adapting the Model for Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage in Cape Town: investigating user attitudes and perceptions in libraries, museums and archives, by Kim Baker, investigates the attitudes and perceptions of general public adult users of the City of Cape Town public libraries, Iziko Museums of South Africa, and the Western Cape Archives and Records Service in Cape Town towards cultural heritage, information literacy and learning in order to adapt the Model for Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage for Lifelong Learning to the Cape Town context. A generic Model for international use was developed for the book. In formation Literacy and Cultural Heritage: Developing a model for lifelong learning . (Baker, 2013). The adapt at ion of the generic model is a necessary preliminary step before designing courses to teach information literacy and cultural heritage to the general public in a given local context and in an integrated manner, with public libraries, museums and archives collaborating and co - operating to provide the training together. The investigation was conducted by means of survey questionnaires, which applied within-method triangulation of quantitative and qualitative questions, and a combination of Yes/No answers, Likert scale questions and multiple-choice questions. The survey questionnaires included the demographic categories of race, gender, age group, home language, level of education, religion and employment status in order to gain an understanding of the demographic profiles of users necessary to the application of training in cultural heritage to different cultural groups. Questions were grouped into sections, with Section A asking questions pertaining to understandings of cultural heritage, Section B investigating whether users had access to the Internet at home, and if so, how much bandwidth was available to them; Section C explored information seeking and evaluation (information literacy) patterns, and Section D explored learning behaviours and preferences. Section E explored whether users of the public libraries also used museums and archives, why or why not; whether users of the museums used public libraries and archives, and why or why not, and whether users of the Archives used public libraries, and why or why not. At the public libraries, 480 respondents across the branches of Central Library; Athlone; Milnerton; Moses Mahbida; Grassy Park; Bellville; Harare; Somerset West; Brackenfell and Town Centre, Mitchell’s Plain, completed the questionnaires. At Iziko Museums, 220 respondents across the sites of the South African Museum, and the Slave Lodge completed questionnaires. At the Archives , which has only one site, 25 respondents completed the questionnaires. The surveying was conducted using the convenience sampling method. The data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2010, by means of non-parametric, descriptive statistics and presented in graphic format. Following the interpretation of the results, and as a result of this study, recommendations were made for the adapt at ion of the Model of Information Literacy and Cultural Heritage for Lifelong Learning to apply to the context of Cape Town.

With the technological development of the last decades, an increasing number of genealogists are carrying out their research online. The purpose of this master’s thesis is to examine how and why genealogists' information behavior has been influenced by the use of online services for genealogy. Using a conceptual model of genealogists' information behavior as theoretical basis for the study, I examine how the use of online services affect genealogists’ search process, what information they are looking for and what information resources they use. Data is collected by seven qualitative interviews with experienced genealogists.The interviews indicate that online services have not completely taken over the genealogists’ search for information. Genealogists still went to physical repositories for a number of reasons. However, all participants in the study agreed that their visits to physical repositories and their use of physical records had declined since they began to use online services. The search for information was perceived to have become easier and more convenient with online services, although participants also acknowledged the risks of misleading information. Online services for genealogy also seem to have an influence on the contact between genealogists, especially on international contacts. This, together with the increasing research on foreign material, indicates that genealogy has been internationalized as a result of the use of online services. To the extent that the use of online services affects genealogists' information behavior, it seems in large part to be a result of online services removing geographical barriers that previously influenced genealogists’ information behavior. This is a two years master’s thesis in Archival Science.

Full textAbstract:
The research presented in this thesis is about recordkeeping in the public sector, focusing especially on the relationship between the public administration and its archives, and selected aspects affecting the way this relationship is developing in the digital era. Two research questions are addressed: RQ1: What are ‘archives’ and ‘recordkeeping’ in the digital context and the developing e-government? RQ2: What are the indications of current and future challenges regarding the cooperation between public administration and archives? Six studies resulting in six papers form the basis of the thesis. Each study explores a unique aspect of how current developments, discussions, and decisions affect contemporary understanding and practices regarding archives and recordkeeping. Public records are authoritative information resources, crucial in the everyday lives of citizens. Public recordkeeping develops continuously alongside administrative practices, technological achievements, and political goals. Examples include the development of shared services within the public sector and the involvement of the private sector in public infrastructure projects through outsourcing. These processes are currently affected both by digital technologies, which offer new possibilities to create, use, and preserve records, and by e-government, characterized by the combination of information and communication technologies with organizational change to improve public services and democratic participation. In these processes, existing practices are reviewed and revised, and the concepts of ‘archives’ and ‘recordkeeping’ redefined. The research was pursued using an interpretive approach. The research methods used were concept analysis; discourse analysis; literary warrant analysis; phenomenography; critical theory; and the records continuum model as a theoretical structure. The results shows that common usage of the terms ‘archive’ and ‘recordkeeping’ is fluid and changing, which can make decision-making challenging and affect the relationship between archives and administration. Efforts to develop recordkeeping strategies may be hampered by factors related to the different ways in which the nature and role of archives and recordkeeping are perceived, including differing understandings of related concepts; varying discourses on what an archive (or e-archive) is or should be, and different ways of interpreting legal frameworks and their significance.Vid tidpunkten för disputationen var följande delarbeten opublicerade: delarbete 6 accepterat.

Full textAbstract:
In the past decade, the amount of scientific data collected and generated by scientists has grown dramatically. This growth has intensified an existing problem: in large archives consisting of datasets stored in many files, formats and locations, how can scientists find data relevant to their research interests? We approach this problem in a new way: by adapting Information Retrieval techniques, developed for searching text documents, into the world of (primarily numeric) scientific data. We propose an approach that uses a blend of automated and curated methods to extract metadata from large repositories of scientific data. We then perform searches over this metadata, returning results ranked by similarity to the search criteria. We present a model of this approach, and describe a specific implementation thereof performed at an ocean-observatory data archive and now running in production. Our prototype implements scanners that extract metadata from datasets that contain different kinds of environmental observations, and a search engine with a candidate similarity measure for comparing a set of search terms to the extracted metadata. We evaluate the utility of the prototype by performing two user studies; these studies show that the approach resonates with users, and that our proposed similarity measure performs well when analyzed using standard Information Retrieval evaluation methods. We performed performance tests to explore how continued archive growth will affect our goal of interactive response, developed and applied techniques that mitigate the effects of that growth, and show that the techniques are effective. Lastly, we describe some of the research needed to extend this initial work into a true “Google for data”.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 124-157).This study examines current practice in the curation of social survey data in African countries and makes suggestions for future improvements in this regard. Curation of data refers to its preservation and management for reuse. Utilising survey data for the study of social phenomena other than those for which the original survey was initiated is a relatively new research approach in Africa. Thus best practice for this type of research is still being put in place by African organisations. This involves the development of optimal means of processing and storing the data for re-use. Of concern to this study is what constitutes the most effective way of managing and sharing the information garnered from these surveys as a resource for economic and social development in Africa. Social survey data refers to both the statistical information which is the final product of censuses or sample surveys, and the documentation provided with the data to facilitate its reuse. Documentation includes technical notes and questionnaires used in the survey process, as well as meta data (detailed information about the data) and reports produced concerning the final survey findings. The research looks at the history of the management of social survey data worldwide and in African countries, and the policies and processes involved in curating survey information in these countries. The comparative component of the study examines developments in this field internationally and compares these to practices on the African continent. International best practice in the field has been used to evaluate current methods of survey data archiving in African countries. The study presents strategies to ensure the optimal preservation and effective sharing of survey data among countries of the region. Strategies for the establishment of a Pan African network of data sharing organisations are suggested to support future repurposing of African census and survey data.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has focused on digital born personal archives; how they are different from analog paper archives and possible ways to overbridge these differences. It is also studied how archivists and librarians are dealing with digital archives, what they think about new proactive solutions when collecting private papers and collections and positive and negative effects with this way to work. The thesis is delimitated to only private collections and digital created material. It do not concern digitized material or electronic documents in government or business organizations. The challenges in digital curation and administration are discussed in aspect of the Records Continuum Model. The empirical material is also put in relation to research in Personal Information Management and identity theory. Two qualitative methods have been used, a case study of an authors personal electronic archive and five deep-going interviews with archivists and librarians working with personal collections in university libraries. This study shows that many difficulties and problems displayed in the electronic archive could be solved in the future with a more proactive approach and early cooperation with the collector. By educating and informing creators of personal records about file formats, archival structure and the need of them to engage in their own collection, more personal digital records could be preserved. Librarians and archivists are imagining more proactive work in the future but are also asking for other solutions. A lot of the challenges united with electronic personal archives are associated with lacking continuity which is a reason to use the Records Continuum Model to explain and work with personal digital collections. This is a two year master’s thesis in archival science.

Full textAbstract:
Calls for more responsible companies, have led to initiatives and legislations of sustainability reporting, in order to improve corporate transparency and accountability regarding companies economic, environmental and social impact. The aim of the research was to explore records roles in corporate sustainability reporting, which is discussed from an archives and information science perspective. Records are regarded as evidence of business activities and therefore crucial to accountability and decision-making processes. A sustainability report is a record, and records are also used to create a sustainability report. The thesis is based on a qualitative explorative methodology with interviews as data gathering technique. Interviews were carried out with four employees at three different companies who work with sustainability reporting, a sustainability consultant who works with sustainability reporting, and an auditor who assesses the companies´ annual and sustainability reports. The interviews have addressed records’ role in different aspects of sustainability reporting, exploring how sustainability reports are created, used and pluralized. As well as how the records, generated as an effect of the reporting process, are used, what impact they have on the business and efficiency of the process. The thesis also explore respondents´ perspectives on reliability and credibility of the reports in relation to records qualities. Results from the interviews have been analysed with the lens of Records Continuum Model and the ISO standard for records management, ISO 15489-1:2016. Results show that records are key assets that provide evidential information that enables different functions and benefits –both to companies that report and to stakeholders. Primary benefits of the reporting that have been emphasized are that it enables transparency and accountability, informed decision-making, management of risks, compliance with legislation, ability to demonstrate corporate responsibility and meeting sustainability goals, greater business efficiency, evidence-based analysis and development activities, formation of business culture and identity, and protection of corporate and collective memory about the corporates’ work regarding sustainability. Records are also valuable assets for governance and continuous improvements. It enables to monitor trends and assessment on how the company meets its targets. The thesis gives an increased understanding of records’ role in a socio-economic context. It also suggests some areas for further research and development in order for sustainability reporting to further support a sustainable development. One of the major tasks would be to make pluralization of sustainability-related records more efficient, in order to facilitate further utilization of the information. This may enhance corporate accountability and decision making based on sustainability criteria, and would make the work more efficient for companies. The global records governance environment can be improved further, in order to support global sustainable development. Important is also to raise awareness about the role of trustworthy records.

Full textAbstract:
This paper revises David Ellis's information-seeking behavior model of social scientists, which includes six generic features: starting, chaining, browsing, differentiating, monitoring, and extracting. The paper uses social science faculty researching stateless nations as the study population. The description and analysis of the information-seeking behavior of this group of scholars is based on data collected through structured and semistructured electronic mail interviews. Sixty faculty members from 14 different countries were interviewed by e-mail. For reality check purposes, face-to-face interviews with five faculty members were also conducted. Although the study confirmed Ellis's model, it found that a fuller description of the information-seeking process of social scientists studying stateless nations should include four additional features besides those identified by Ellis. These new features are: accessing, networking, verifying, and information managing. In view of that, the study develops a new model, which, unlike Ellis's, groups all the features into four interrelated stages: searching, accessing, processing, and ending. This new model is fully described and its implications on research and practice are discussed. How and why scholars studied here are different than other academic social scientists is also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This project uses the body as a framework to understand and re-imagine the archives (here referring to the professionally managed repository). It argues that the archives as a body of knowledge, like the human body, does not and cannot fit into normative stable categories. Tracing the shift in archival paradigms from modern to postmodern, I employ the posthuman to argue for a concomitant shift in understanding of the archival body, which I conceive of as comprising both human and non-human corpora of knowledge and knowledge-making practices. These corpora are simultaneously becoming and unbecoming as multiply-situated identities, technologies, representations, and timescapes. Using temporality as a key element in analyzing archival productions, I consider how this body might sediment. This research, written from my insider perspective as an archivist, implements a transdisciplinary approach that draws from the disciplines of archival and queer studies as well as from somatechnics, embodiment and affect studies, and decolonizing methodologies to advocate for a proposed Queer/ed Archival Methodology, Q/M, that is designed to trouble the concepts of archival theory and production. It also employed on-site observation and interviews at the Transgender Archives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, observation and narrative analysis of recordings held by the Arizona Queer Archives and the Arizona LGBTQ Storytelling Project, and online interviews with the developer of the Skeivt Arkiv, Norway's first state-sanctioned queer archives. Three overarching questions guided the research: 1) How can archives simultaneously hold normative and non-normative stories, materials and practices together as both complementary and also contradictory without subordinating or otherwise invalidating either and so that each can still be considered worthy of archival attention? 2) How might a Q/M be a radical intervention into normative archival practices and structures and to what ends? 3) What might it mean and look like for a queer/ed archives to be a radically open space? For whom? As we encounter multiply-situated subjects in the postmodern approach and follow traces in order to interrogate the force and function of respectability politics within the archival body, the modern and anthropocentric Cartesian statement 'Je pense, donc je suis' (I think, therefore I am) can no longer support the human and records as the central theme of archival endeavors. The posthuman approach offers many possibilities. Through the understanding that human bodies are relational and contingent in complex ways to non-human bodies and each to bodies of knowledges, human and non-human bodies come together in complex relations and assemblages within the archives. Archival productions can thus represent new and emerging thoughts on lived experiences as these are situated in various structures and systems. The Q/M offers a way of thinking and acting with, about, through, among, and at times in spite of traditional as well as emerging archival practices and processes in order to facilitate new, imaginative, irrational, and unpredictable re-configurations of bodies and archives and the many histories and records therein. Its flexible foundation in the theories employed in the research support Q/M's seven key approaches: 1) Participatory Ethos, 2) Connectivity, 3) Storytelling, 4) Intervention, 5) Re-framing, 6) Re-imagining, and 7) Flexibility & Dynamism.

Resumo: Preservar os registros do conhecimento é um fator fundamental para se perpetuar a história e para o desenvolvimento do ser humano. Nessa perspectiva, os documentos produzidos e recebidos por uma instituição constituem-se em fontes de extrema importância para pesquisa, seja ela, cultural, histórica administrativa, jurídica, científica ou acadêmica. Vale lembrar que a informação, independente do suporte, é o elemento básico para a produção e disseminação do conhecimento. Dentro desse contexto, destacam-se as fotografias depositadas no Sistema de Arquivos da Universidade Estadual de Londrina - SAUEL - que por diversos motivos e, diferentemente dos documentos textuais, foram preservadas na sua totalidade. Porém, não se adotou procedimentos relacionados à seleção e avaliação arquivísticas, o que ocasionou um acúmulo desse gênero documental na instituição e, consequentemente, dificuldade em acessá-lo e disponibilizá-lo. De acordo com esse cenário houve, portanto, a necessidade de estudos e análises a respeito da importância e da elaboração de diretrizes para seleção e avaliação das fotografias sem princípios arquivísticos e que visassem sua guarda ou descarte. Portanto, como objetivo geral desta pesquisa, analisaram-se as diretrizes para avaliação de fotografias apresentadas no estudo RAMP- Records and Archives Management Programme da UNESCO e um conjunto de recomendações preconizadas pela literatura da área de Arquivologia, e, a partir desse procedimento, se propôs um modelo para ...

Abstract: Preserving the records of knowledge is a fundamental factor in perpetuating the history and development of the human being. In this perspective, the documents produced and received by an institution constitute extremely important sources for research, be it cultural, historical, administrative, legal, scientific or academic. It is worth remembering that information, independent of medium, is the basic element for the production and dissemination of knowledge. Within this context, the photographs deposited in the Archive System of the State University of Londrina - SAUEL - stand out for various reasons and, unlike the textual documents, were preserved in their totality, without any procedure related to archival selection and appraisal, which caused an accumulation of this documentary genre in the institution and, consequently, difficulty in accessing it and making it available. According to this scenario, therefore, there was a need for studies and analyzes regarding the importance and the elaboration of guidelines for the selection and appraisal of photographs without archival principles aiming at their custody or disposal. Therefore, as a general objective of this research, the guidelines for the appraisal of photographs presented in the RAMP - Records and Archives Management Program of UNESCO as well as a set of suggestions recommended by the literature of the Archival Science area were analyzed, and, from this procedure, it was proposed a model for the treatment of photogr...

Pesquisa acerca da fotografia como fonte de informação para subsidiar pesquisas nas várias áreas do conhecimento. Universo pesquisado arquivo pessoal de Sílvio Robatto, arquiteto, fotógrafo e professor da Universidade Federal da Bahia. Esta figura insigne da inteligência da Bahia dedicou grande parte de sua vida a fotografar algumas temáticas referente à cultura baiana tais como : manifestações religiosas, populares e culturais (2 de julho, lavagem do Bonfim, carnaval, festa Iemanjá); arquitetura barroca; embarcações; arquitetura urbana da cidade de Salvador; espetáculo de dança e de teatro, que ocorreram em Salvador desde a década de 50. A arte de fotografar legou à família e à sociedade um rico acervo fotográfico que retrata a cultura baiana. Trata-se de documentação de imensa relevância que se encontra no anonimato e sem visibilidade. A partir desse arquivo fotográfico, apresentaremos pesquisa aplicada, descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa e elementos quantitativos, fundamentada na observação e análise do arquivo em foco. Como resultado, apresentamos estudos realizados na área da ciência da informação (CI) e da descrição arquivística, com proposta de modelo de metodologia a ser aplicada para representar a informação do documento fotográfico, de modo que possibilite a sua recuperação e disseminação.
Abstract-This research is about photography as a source of information to support research in many areas of knowledge. Universe researched of personnel file Silvio Robatto, architect, photographer and professor at the Federal University of Bahia. This outstanding figure of intelligence of Bahia devoted much of his life to photographing some issues concerning the Bahian culture such as religious events, and popular culture (July 2, Washing of Bonfim, Carnival, Party of Yemanja); baroque architecture, craft, urban architecture of the city of Salvador, dance performance and theater, which occurred in Salvador since the 50s. His art of shooting left the family and society, a rich photographic collection portraying the Bahian culture. The documentation of his art is of immense importance and is anonymous and no visibility yet. From this photographic archive, we present descriptive applied research, with qualitative approach and quantitative elements based on observation and analysis of the file in focus. As a result, we present studies in the area of information science (CI) and the archival description as proposal of methodology model to be applied to represent the information of the photographic document in a way that facilitates their retrieval and of its dissemination.

The present study aimed at providing a comparative study of the archives of the Archdiocese of Paraíba and Olinda / Recife in relation to the construction of memory and access to information. Its importance stems from a rich volume mass of documents, since the Catholic Church, in periods prior to the Proclamation of the Republic, produced records of birth, baptism, property records, among others. During this period, the regime in force in Brazil of patronage in which the Church was tied to the state, producing and accumulating a vast production of cultural, social, economic and political results of the archival point of view, a merging of civil and ecclesiastical information. The methodology consisted of an analysis of files, from the recommendations of CONARQ, focusing on the document types and media types, physical structure, projects and coordination of activities, internal regulations, budget, cataloging, accessibility, human resources. The survey was conducted from a structured questionnaire, as well as the application of simple interviews to notaries responsible for the archive. The results of the research is leading us to infer that there is contrast between the collections since the collection of Paraiba is organized, however the Pernambuco in this precarious situation. Thus it was observed that only the first case the file is within the guidelines proposed by the Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Patrimony of the Church.
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal realizar um estudo comparativo entre os arquivos das arquidioceses da Paraíba e de Olinda/Recife, no tocante aos processos de acesso à informação e construção da memória. Sua importância deriva de um riquíssimo volume de massa documental, uma vez que a Igreja Católica, em períodos anteriores à Proclamação da República (1889), produzia registros de nascimento, de batismo, patrimoniais, entre outros. Nesse amplo período da história do Brasil, vigorava o regime de padroado, em que a Igreja era atrelada ao Estado e produzia e acumulava uma vasta produção cultural, social, econômica e política, o que resultava, do ponto de vista arquivístico, numa confluência de informações civis e eclesiásticas. A metodologia empregada consistiu num diagnóstico dos arquivos, a partir das recomendações do CONARQ, enfocando as tipologias documentais e os tipos de suporte; estrutura física, projetos e coordenação das atividades; regulamento interno; orçamento; catalogação; acessibilidade e recursos humanos. O levantamento de dados foi realizado a partir da aplicação de questionário estruturado e de entrevistas simples aos notários responsáveis pelo acervo. Os resultados da pesquisa nos direcionam a inferir que existe contraste entre os acervos, pois o da Paraíba encontra-se organizado, entretanto o de Pernambuco está em situação precária. Desta forma observou-se que apenas no primeiro caso o arquivo encontra-se dentro das diretrizes propostas pela Pontifícia Comissão para os Bens Culturais da Igreja.

Die Forschung zum Informationsverhalten in Archiven hat wiederholt gezeigt, dass der Zugang zu Archivbeständen durch einen grundlegenden Wissensmangel über die Informationsbedürfnisse von Archivnutzern eingeschränkt wird. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist die Vertiefung des empirischen Verständnisses der spezifischen Informationsbedürfnisse von Archivnutzern und damit die Leistung eines grundlegenden Beitrags zur Verbesserung von archivischen Informationssystemen. Dazu untersucht die primäre Forschungsfrage die Möglichkeit der Erarbeitung einer Ontologie, die in angemessener Weise das Erkenntnisinteresse von Nutzern an Archive repräsentiert, und auf formale Anfragen, adäquate Antworten erzeugt. Zu diesem Zweck analysiert die Studie schriftliche Nutzeranfragen an das Bundesarchiv und das Nationalarchiv von Norwegen (Arkivverket). Die primären Forschungsergebnisse umfassen einen methodischen Ansatz, der eine interpretative Analyse schriftlich formulierter Fragen an Archive vertritt und, als Ergebnis seiner erfolgreichen Anwendung, das Archival Knowledge Model (AKM) erarbeitet. Das AKM ist eine ontologische Repräsentation des Gegenstandbereichs, der typischerweise als das Erkenntnisinteresse von Fragen an Archiven erscheint. Die Studie zeigt, dass derartige Anfragen dominante, grundlegende ontologische Muster aufweisen, die auf einen relativ kleinen Satz ontologischer Entitäten formalisiert werden können. Das AKM repräsentiert damit formal und explizit die Informationsbedürfnisse von Archivnutzern in Form einer Ontologie. Diese stellt ein konstitutives Modell für die Evaluierung bestehender Archivinformationssysteme und Datenschemata zur Verfügung und kann die Entwicklung neuer Katalogisierungsregeln oder musterbasierter Abfrageanwendungen unterstützen.Research on the information behaviour of archive users has repeatedly shown that access to archival knowledge bases such as via finding aids is hindered by a certain deficiency in knowledge about users and their information needs. The objective of this study is to increase our empirical understanding of the information needs of archive users in order to facilitate access to archival information systems. The primary research question explores the possibility of creating an ontology that can reasonably represent archival inquiries and their probable interpretations as formal queries to the model of the archival target world that would generate an adequate response. For this purpose, the study analyzes archival information needs as expressed in written natural language questions submitted to the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv) and the National Archives of Norway (Arkivverket). The primary results point to a methodological approach that advocates an interpretative analysis of written natural language inquiries and, as the result of its practical and successful application, the Archival Knowledge Model (AKM). This constitutes an ontological representation of the subject matter typically appearing as the interest of archival inquiries. The study thus shows that written natural language questions submitted to archives exhibit dominant fundamental ontological patterns, which can be formalized to a relatively small set of entities utilizing the CIDOC CRM and compatible extensions wherever its semantics are found to be inadequate. The AKM formally and explicitly represents the information needs of archive users in the form of an ontology, thus providing a constitutive model for the evaluation of existing archive information systems and data schemas and may inform the development of new cataloguing rules or pattern-based query applications.

Full textAbstract:
Hip hop is a counter cultural movement that emerged in the 1970s in the South Bronx; it has since grown to be a global movement. It is a counter culture that emerges in the post-segregated, post-industrial, and globalized world. Since 2002, archival collections that document hip hop have manifested within academic institutions. Placing hip hop in academic institutions that have historically served as manifestations of hegemony can lead to codification and commodification. This case study examines the University of Houston Hip Hop Collection and explains the establishment of the archive using the cultural competence framework. It concludes that staff at the University of Houston is culturally competent. The case study suggests that building culturally competent archivists can be tool to ensuring representation within an archive of all facets of society.
