The Archival Imagination of David Bearman,Revisited

Abstract

Many archivists regard the archival imagination evidenced in the writings of David Bearman as avant-garde. Archivist Linda Henry has sharply criticized Bearman for being irreverent toward the archival theory and practice outlined by classical American archivist T. R. Schellenberg. Although Bearman is sometimes credited-and sometimes berated-for establishing “a new paradigm” centered on the archival management of electronic records, his methods and strategies are intended to encompass all forms of record keeping. The essay provides general observations on Bearman's archival imagination, lists some of its components, and addresses elements of Henry's critique. Although the longlasting impact of Bearman's imagination upon the archival profession might be questioned, it nonetheless deserves continued consideration by archivists and inclusion as a component of graduate archival education.     

分布式档案数据库系统的建立及其对档案编研的影响

21世纪初,网络环境下的档案编研就成为人们关注的热点问题之一。然而,人们对将分布式档案数据库系统应用于档案编研缺乏足够的关注。分布式档案数据库系统通过分别设置受众模块、档案原文数据库模块、专家模块、编研模块,对档案编研工作环节、档案编研成果传播、档案编研成果开放范围均产生一定积极影响,将对未来的档案编研工作起到重要作用。     

Education and Research in Archival Science: General Tendencies

This text is essentially based on works carriedout for a research which was subsidized from1997 to 2000 by the Social Sciences andHumanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).The goal of this study was to examine thegeneral tendencies of education and research inarchival science. First, a review of theliterature published from 1985 to 1998 allowedus to establish a state of the art. Then, asurvey was completed with a questionnaire whichhas been sent to educational institutions,national archives institutions and researchers.Answers were received from more than 70different countries. With regards to theeducation program, the analysis of data showsthat there have seen notable progresses. Morethan the growth of the number of programs, wemust especially recognize the constantimprovement of its contents, which is achievedin conformity with the propositions made in theliterature. As for the research, it exists acommunity of ideas about fields and themes tobe privileged even if there is an apparentdivision of the researchers into two groups.The first group distinguishes itself by itscohesion by unanimously recognizing a smallnumber (nine) of priorities in research inarchival science. The second group showsmultiple interests which cover 30 researchthemes. The author conclude in saying that thedevelopment of education and research inarchival science are on their way, but nothinghas yet been won. It is important to accentuatethe efforts to insure a durable life toeducation and research as pillars of thediscipline.     

档案文化与和谐文化

狭义的档案文化指作为人类物质文明和精神文明的记录与反映的档案信息及其载体，即档案实体文化。广义的档案文化除包括档案实体文化外，还包括人类有效管理和利用实体文化成果而采取的活动方式及其创造出来的档案事业文化。我国的档案文化是中华民族五千年文化的精华，是社会和谐文化中的一只奇葩，要把档案文化融入社会主义和谐文化的建设中来，[第一段]

Archival science and changes in the paradigm

The dominant paradigm in Archival Science, thehistorical-technicist paradigm, has its origins with the French Revolution and raised from the social, economic, political, ideological and cultural changes that occur during the 19th and 20th centuries. During this last one and due specially to the technological revolution Archival Science reinforced its technical component and became autonomous in face of History, but the consolidation of the model, based on a custodial, technicist and documentalist perspective, is associated to a knowledge essentially empirical. By effect of the new conditions generated by Information Society, the dominant paradigm entered into a crisis and developed inside itself the factors which, unavoidably, will produce the paradigm shift. The new paradigm — thescientific-informational paradigm — conceives Archival Science as an applied discipline into the scope of Information Science and defines unequivocally its object of study — the archive, understood as aninformation system — and its scientific method of research. The method tends to find consolidation through quadripolar research dynamics, which is operated and continuously repeated within the field of knowledge itself, which implies a permanent interaction on four poles — epistemological, theoretical, technical and morphological.

构建档案研究前沿--2004年4月10日北京亚太地区档案教育国际学术研讨会的发言稿

章分析了近15年来档案研究(而非档案学和档案管理)发展的诸因素,介绍了在未来有可能出现的一些研究领域,认为需要在档案研究中构建持续性研究前沿。当新的研究领域融入到已经出现的研究领域中去的时候,档案学术前沿就毫无疑问地现身于世。     

How Researchers Search for Manuscript and Archival Collections

ABSTRACT

By conducting a survey of a cross-section of researchers at six major research libraries, the author sought to determine the usefulness of specific online resources to find primary sources, to ascertain researchers' awareness of these sources, and to uncover their discovery methodology. The survey results demonstrate that the majority of researchers continue to utilize traditional methods of uncovering primary sources and do not take full advantage of online resources. The author offers four recommendations that archivists can implement to assist researchers with online discovery.

档案学与社会学的互动及对建设档案社会学的展望

档案学与社会学存在一种互动关系,社会学研究离不开档案,档案学也可以借鉴社会学的研究范式,然而档案社会学虽有萌芽却基本处于停滞不前的状态。本文从概述社会学研究中对档案的利用情况入手,针对档案社会学的发展现状,结合两个学科的共同特征,对档案社会学的学科建设提出建议。     

档案工作如何应对灾难的发生

灾难一般是自然原因、人为原因或二者综合引起的不期而至并且造成严重破坏的事件,可分为自然灾害和人为灾害两大类。自然灾害是由自然现象引起的,如地震、台风、火山爆发、洪水等;人为灾害则来自人类自身的破坏或失误,如纵火、爆炸、恐怖活动、战争等。正如一句谚语所说,“天有不测风云,人有旦夕祸福”,灾难具有随时发生而没有任何预警的特性。任何灾难发生前不会和我们打一声招呼,能让我们有足够的时间进行准备。因为不可能确切地知道灾难何时发生而它又会随时到来,所以,只有在平时投入一定力量加以防范,才能避免被突发灾祸打得一蹶不振。…
