Desde su convocatoria, los organizadores del coloquio «Construcción y usos de los archivos en la monarquía hispánica: prácticas, documentos y actores (siglos XVI-XVIII)», en l’École des Hautes Études ...en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, 21.1.2022), propusieron una perspectiva muy concreta y reflexiva a la vez: cómo «los actores concebían el archivo y, especialmente, en qué medida lo teorizaron como un recurso para construir y legitimar el orden legal en la monarquía hispana». Todo ello, además, en oposición a la imagen estática de anaqueles repletos de mamotretos de variadas encuadernaciones, a veces expedientes de hojas sueltas, cocidas juntas o atadas con listones incómodos que las aprisionan; todo ello luchando con el tiempo que les dio su barniz amarillento, a veces los mutiló, sobre todo en los archivos más locales, «subalternos».
¿Cuál es la relación entre los archivos, los recuerdos y la historia? ¿De qué manera los archivos históricos complementan el recuerdo colectivo y el capital social de un gremio o de una disciplina?
Featuring a wide array of perspectives, Transforming the Authority of the Archive details new roles for archives in undergraduate pedagogy and new roles for undergraduates in archives. While there ...has long been a place for archival exploration in undergraduate education (especially primary source analysis of items curated by archivists and educators), the models offered here engage students not only in analyzing collections, but also in the manifold challenges of building, stewarding, and communicating about collections. In transforming what archives are to undergraduate education, the projects detailed in this book transform the authority of the archive, as students and community partners claim powers to curate and create history. Contributions to this volume represent a range of institutions including small liberal arts colleges, HBCUs, Ivy Leagues, large research institutions, and community-based collections. The assignments, projects, and initiatives described across this volume are fundamentally concerned with the challenge to model digital archival collections so as to center individual and community voices that are historically under-engaged in the archives. To address this challenge, contributors describe various approaches to substantively, often radically, redistribute archival resources and authority. The chapters within Transforming the Authority of the Archive offer thoughtful and creative pedagogical approaches to counter the presumed neutrality of the archive and advocate a shared understanding of the contingency of archival collections. This book is a must-read for liberal arts faculty, graduate students, archivists (both community- and institutionally-affiliated), information-studies professionals, librarians, and other professionals working and teaching in archives, museums, libraries, and other cultural heritage institutions.

"Literary archives are proliferating, and these essays examine the process of archiving such materials -- their materialization, their preservation, and the research that is being produced about ...them. Archives, are, according to volume editor Morra, involved in an emotionally engaged and charged process, one that acts on archival subjects and the people engaged with them. "-- Provided by publisher.
Through a series of empirically and theoretically informed reflections, Opening Up the University offers insights into the process of setting up and running programs that cater to displaced students. ...Including contributions from educators, administrators, practitioners, and students, this expansive collected volume aims to inspire and question those who are considering creating their own interventions, speaking to policy makers and university administrators on specific points relating to the access and success of refugees in higher education, and suggests concrete avenues for further action within existing academic structures.
En el contexto de los estudios actuales de epistemología e historia del conocimiento científico y dada la ausencia de una obra general sobre el pasado de la Archivología argentina, este artículo ...expone algunos temas relevantes para comprender el cambio de paradigma y propone una periodización que contribuya a sistematizar esta tarea pendiente y muy ambiciosa, ya que la tradición archivística nacional se inició hace doscientos años con la creación del Archivo General de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Partiendo de datos empíricos obtenidos de fuentes originales, publicaciones periódicas y bibliografía especializada, que fueron reunidos durante más de una década de investigación, se extrajeron conclusiones, si bien generales, que incluyen tanto los distintos modelos explicativos por los que transitó la disciplina, como la evolución de las entidades que custodian fondos de archivo y los cambios en la enseñanza académica.
AbstractIn the context of current studies of epistemology and history of scientific knowledge and given the absence of a general history of archival science in Argentina, this article presents some relevant issues to understand the paradigm shift and proposes a periodisation that will help to systematise this pending and very ambitious task, since the national archival tradition began two hundred years ago with the creation of the Archivo General de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Based on empirical data obtained from original sources, periodicals and specialised bibliography, which were gathered during more than a decade of research, conclusions were drawn, albeit general ones, which include the different explanatory models through which the discipline has passed, the evolution of the entities that hold archival collections and the changes in academic teaching.

Seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, electronic databases are compiling information about you. As you surf the Internet, an unprecedented amount of your personal information is being recorded ...and preserved forever in the digital minds of computers. For each individual, these databases create a profile of activities, interests, and preferences used to investigate backgrounds, check credit, market products, and make a wide variety of decisions affecting our lives. The creation and use of these databases—which Daniel J. Solove calls “digital dossiers”—has thus far gone largely unchecked. In this startling account of new technologies for gathering and using personal data, Solove explains why digital dossiers pose a grave threat to our privacy.
The Digital Person sets forth a new understanding of what privacy is, one that is appropriate for the new challenges of the Information Age. Solove recommends how the law can be reformed to simultaneously protect our privacy and allow us to enjoy the benefits of our increasingly digital world.
The first volume in the series EX MACHINA: LAW, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY
"Much of worldâ s documentary heritage rests in vulnerable, little-known and often inaccessible archives. Many of these archives preserve information that may cast new light on historical phenomena ...and lead to their reinterpretation. But such rich collections are often at risk of being lost before the history they capture is recorded. This volume celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Endangered Archives Programme at the British Library, established to document and publish online formerly inaccessible and neglected archives from across the globe. From Dust to Digital showcases the historical significance of the collections identified, catalogued and digitised through the Programme, bringing together articles on 19 of the 244 projects supported since its inception. These contributions demonstrate the range of materials documented â including rock inscriptions, manuscripts, archival records, newspapers, photographs and sound archives â and the wide geographical scope of the Programme. Many of the documents are published here for the first time, illustrating the potential these collections have to further our understanding of history."
Television History, the Peabody Archive, and Cultural Memory is the first edited volume devoted to the Peabody Awards Collection, a unique repository of radio and TV programs submitted yearly since ...1941 for consideration for the prestigious Peabody Awards. The essays in this volume explore the influence of the Peabody Awards Collection as an archive of the vital medium of TV, turning their attention to the wealth of programs considered for Peabody Awards that were not honored and thus have largely been forgotten and yet have the potential to reshape our understanding of American television history. Because the collection contains programming produced by stations across the nation, it is a distinctive repository of cultural memory; many of the programs found in it are not represented in the canon that dominates our understanding of American broadcast history. The contributions to this volume ask a range of important questions. What do we find if we look to the archive for what's been forgotten? How does our understanding of gender, class, or racial representations shift? What different strategies did producers use to connect with audiences and construct communities that may be lost? This volume's contributors examine intersections of citizenship and subjectivity in public-service programs, compare local and national coverage of particular individuals and social issues, and draw our attention to types of programming that have disappeared. Together they show how locally produced programs-from both commercial and public stations-have acted on behalf of their communities, challenging representations of culture, politics, and people.
