The Lycée Albert-Sarraut, founded in Hà Nội in 1919, was a prestigious French school that had become popular among Vietnamese elites. After 1954, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam agreed to let the ...school operate under French supervision. For the French, the school was an excuse to keep an official delegation in Hà Nội. For the Vietnamese, it was a bargaining chip for negotiating with the Western bloc. This unusual experiment of a Western school in a communist country lasted ten years, during which the Vietnamese authorities progressively eliminated French influence in the school, until they closed it down in 1965.
Northumberland has a long history of public engagement surrounding its ancient rock-art. Recent advances in digital technologies have enabled archaeologists to enrich this engagement through the ...provision of open access to substantial rock-art datasets online. Building on these achievements, the Rock Art on Mobile Phones (RAMP) project allows Northumberland's countryside visitors to access in situ interpretation at three rock-art areas on their mobile phones. During the RAMP co-experience workshops it emerged that the key issues the public expected to be addressed by the mobile interpretation included locating rock-art, the desire for ambiguity and speculation about rock-art, and connecting to the landscape. The paper discusses, on the one hand, how these themes were incorporated into RAMP's conceptual design and, on the other hand, how RAMP themes compare with the Audience Development Plan produced by the archaeologists who created an online database. We consider the implications of these findings for the development of open-access online resources and in situ public interpretation.
This article raises multiple issues associated with archival research methodological and methods. Based on a survey of recent scholarship and interviews with experienced archival researchers, this ...overview of the current status of archival research both complicates traditional conceptions of archival investigation and encourages scholars to adopt the stance of archivist-researcher.
Introduces the theme of this issue, coinciding with the exhibition "Samurai: Beyond the sword," focusing on the non-military culture of the warrior elite. Discusses use of art as political tool, art ...created for the warrior-elite, and patronization of Buddhist art.
Since 1978, when Ann Pederson published "Archival Outreach: SAA's 1976 Survey," no systematic attempt has been made to document the extent, challenges, and benefits of the archival profession's ...outreach activities. To begin to address this gap, archivists at Georgia State University (GSU) surveyed special collections and archives at state universities nationally about their fund-raising, friend-raising, and educational public programming activities. This article describes some of GSU's public programming activities and compares them with the results of the survey.
The paper presents the results of pXRF analysis of 48 gold coins, issued by the kings of Cyprus during the Classical period.

The objective of this project is to trace the amount of gold, as well as, that of other elements in the alloy used by the kings of Cyprus to issue gold coinage and to reconsider the economic policies of the Cypriot kings during the fourth century BC.
This essay provides for the first time data on the discovery of a coin hoard found in Cerda (Palermo, Sicily) in 1869 at a railway construction site. The main aims of the paper are to contextualize ...this event in terms of the history of post-Unification Sicilian archaeology and to offer new information on contemporary bureaucratic procedures, as carried out by the Italian State and by local authorities in the case of casual discoveries. This historical reconstruction makes use of a targeted set of archival records from the Central State Archive of Rome, which are fully transcribed in Appendix A.
