Resumo O uso das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) instaura aos processos infocomunicacionais contemporâneos inovações que, ao mesmo tempo em que acentuam a importância dos estudos ...da Ciência da Informação, apresentam à área grandes desafios, pois possibilitam a construção colaborativa de conteúdos e conhecimento em rede. Neste cenário de reordenamento de estruturas e novos comportamentos informacionais surge o paradigma Pós-custodial, propondo às instituições de Arquivo uma forma original de criar, armazenar e disseminar informação, facilitando o acesso aos seus documentos. Assim, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, este estudo reúne conceitos teóricos sobre o novo paradigma em questão e realiza nesse cenário um estudo de caso do website do “The National Archives”, do Reino Unido, para a partir da exploração desse site, identificar e retratar pontos e características que apresentam em conformidade com as premissas do Pós-custodial, especialmente no que diz respeito à disponibilização de documentos digitalizados para acesso online pelos usuários. Percebe-se que a consequente abertura dos Arquivos e seus documentos à rede digital traz um significativo ganho de visibilidade às Instituições arquivísticas, amplia seu espaço de atuação, aproxima-se do público e revigora-se na sua forma pós-custodial.Palavras-chave: Informação e Tecnologia; Pós-custodial; Web Colaborativa; The National Archives.Abstract The use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) introduces innovations to the contemporary infocommunicative process, which while stress the importance of Information Science studies, present major challenges to the area, as they allow for the collaborative construction of content and knowledge on the net. In this scenario, the reorganization of structures and new informational behaviors, Post-custodial paradigm emerges proposing to the institutions of Archives an original way to create, store and disseminate information, facilitating access to their documents. Thus, through a bibliographic research, this study brings theoretical concepts on the new paradigm and follows with a case study of the "The National Archives" from the UK. From the exploration of the website, we identify and portray characteristics that present, in accordance with the assumptions of post-custodial, especially with regard to the provision of online access to digitized documents to users. It is noticed that the consequent opening of Archives and documents to the digital environment brings a significant gain of visibility to archival institutions, expands its sphere of action, approaches to the public and invigorates on its post-custodial form.Keywords: Information & Technology; Post-custodial; Collaborative Web; The National Archives.
This article presents for the first time an examination of the Special Operations Executive's (SOE) UK-based communication facilities. Established in 1940, SOE was responsible for coordinating all ...acts of sabotage against the enemy overseas. This was only possible with the aid of a reliable communications link with the Resistance. By examining SOE's Home Stations, this article will demonstrate the value the organization placed in reliable wireless communications.
In the 1950s, the Ministry of Health, supported by interested groups outside government, recognised the political importance of productive efficiency. For leadership, organisational models and ...techniques the Ministry looked to the movement for industrial productivity. The NHS was receptive, but private-sector approaches were modified and dampened as they were imported. NHS management was to be the provider of technical expertise, but the deployment of this expertise was limited by clinical autonomy and de-coupling from financial incentives. This article casts new light on the history of productivity policy, NHS management and the moving frontier between state and civil society.
Until recently, the most important investigation on the issues of the "comfort women" was carried out by the Japanese government in the early 1990s. In the meantime, data from the Government-General ...of Korea (1910-1945) were never comprehensively investigated. As for the comfort women-related data from occupied China, even access to these has been difficult. To overcome this situation, a group of researchers that included us, recently formed a research team and began investigating data at the National Archives of Korea, the Shanghai Municipal Archives and Nanjing Municipal Archives, in China. This paper analyzes the significance of the new findings we made at these archives. Compared to the documents found by the Japanese investigation in the 1990s, our findings, in China in particular, give much more detailed information about the wartime recruitment and operation of "comfort women" and the military comfort stations.
New data, recently discovered by the author, on the hoard of 15-16th-century silver coins previously little known to the scientific community, which had been found in the territory of the Kazan ...Kremlin in 1909, are published. Correspondence of the Governor of Kazan, kept in the National Archives of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as reports of the Imperial Archaeological Commission serve as information sources. The circumstances of the hoard discovery, its examination, and subsequent fate are described. The mechanisms of state regulation of precious finds circulation in the territory of Kazan Gubernia (Province) are revealed. It has been established that the hoard had been sent to the Imperial Archaeological Commission, and later returned and deposited with the Church Archaeological Society of Kazan diocese. The documents of the latter may serve as a source of information about the whereabouts of the coins after 1913.
This article focuses on the Senate Archives, which became the State Archives later, managed by Karl August Bomansson in the latter half of the 19th century Finland. We deal with the following ...topics: 1) in what circumstances Bomansson was employed as the first state archivist in 1859; 2) what Bomansson's idea was concerning the aim of the State Archives; 3) what Bomansson and his colleagues did archival activities related to Finland and the State Archives; 4) what the Senate Archives was and how the Senate Archives developed into the State Archives.

vrste i kvalitete gradiva opisanih kroz svaku pojedinu seriju. U zaključku je opisana vrijednost ovog osobnog fonda za Državni arhiv u Gospiću i njegove potencijalne istraživače, kao i za cjelokupno područje Like, s naglaskom na Gospić i okolicu. Kao dodatak radu, priložen je detaljan popis gradiva s izrađenim kazalom.
Pesidential libraries need stronger coordination and leadership from the National Archives, better oversight by the Congress, and more informed and vigorous monitoring by the public and by the public ...history community. This is true not only for access to documents and services to researchers, but also, and perhaps especially now, for the “museum side” of the libraries, including exhibits and public and educational programs. The increasing reliance on funds from various library partner foundations to support programs aimed at the public is a worrisome trend. Although they have supported many worthy programs in the libraries, these “hidden hand” partners greatly reduce the transparency of the operation of the libraries which are, after all, public institutions still chiefly supported by American taxpayers. This article examines selected issues where better policy and practice would improve the programs and operations of the presidential libraries.
