The R-Archive seeks to both confront and exploit the roles of documentation and recordkeeping in forced displacement of Rohingya people through targeted physical and bureaucratic violence in Myanmar. This grassroots activist intervention is located at the intersection of technology, rights, records, jurisdictions and economics. Using Arweave's blockweave, the R-Archive secures copies of records, such as identity documentation, land deeds and personal papers, carried into diaspora by Rohingya refugees against unauthorised alteration, deletion and loss, providing a trust infrastructure for accumulating available evidence in support of rights claims and cultural preservation.Design/methodology/approachIterative development of functional requirements, data collection processes and identification of a technological solution for the community-based, post-custodial, blockchain-inspired R-Archiv...

One issue is that library schools do not prepare their graduates for this transdisciplinarity. This response to Anne Gilliland's paper rehearses the state of the profession with respect to its current and future issues, including such things as various methods of preservation (even automated preservation in the creation of materials),“[i] ntegrating access across time, systems, and communities,” developing standards for best practices, developing ...

Consideration of how best to exploit metadata to these ends, however, raises several significant issues, including the following: Different communities have differing definitions of the term “metadata. ” What should be the scope of metadata for electronic records and archival management purposes? Can metadata be divided into classes based on how, when, and why they are created, or how they behave? What are the relationships between metadata and the record? Are some metadata part of the record? Which metadata relate to aggregates of records, and which to individual record or record components? How much metadata needs to exist in time and over time to support the evidential qualities of the record? Where do/should the necessary metadata reside? To what extent should arch...

However, this is not a universally accepted premise, with the life cycle model drawing a much clearer demarcation between the management of active records and the preservation of archival records. In the Chain of Preservation activity model developed by InterPARES 2, which is based upon the life cycle model, "record keeping" refers to the phase in the life cycle that comes between "record creation" and "record preservation." 2 The members of the Description Cross-Domain Group were Dr.

The archives consequently become a negotiated space in which these different communities share stewardship—they are created by, for and with multiple communities, according to and respectful of community values, practices, beliefs and needs. This paper discusses principles and approaches to guide the establishment of participatory archives or the re-structuring of existing archives along participatory lines to further human rights agendas in relation to identity (including language, culture and religious practices), self-determination, the exercise of cultural rights, redress and the support of reconciliation and recovery after intercommunity conflict.

Specifically, the paper is concerned with exploring the roles that the politics of memory can play not just in promoting continued community division in the aftermath of ethnic or religious conflicts in regions with complex and layered histories, but also the inverse – in promoting reconciliation. The paper takes as its primary example the multiple co-existing yet divergent accumulating narratives about the past that contributed to the eruption and later to the sustenance of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. After a brief historical review, it examines the experiences of one contemporary case that has been held up locally and internationally as exemplary in redirecting memory politics in support of reconciliation...

Cet article discute différentes façons d'intégrer efficacement les documents d'archives dans les classes et examine l'attitude des enseignants quant à leur utilisation. On traite d'abord des efforts déployés par la communauté archivistique et par les fournisseurs des ressources numérisées en vue de développer des programmes basés sur des sources d'archives pour les salles de classes élémentaires et secondaires, qu'il s'agisse d'apprentissage formel ou informel. On passe ensuite en revue la méthodologie qui a été utilisée dans l'étude de cas et les résultats obtenus. L'article se termine sur une discussion des implications de cette recherche pour le développement systématique d'une infrastructure archivistique et éducative et l'établissement d'une base théorique cohérente pour l'utilisation de documents d'archives à des fins éducatives dans les programmes scolaires de l'élémentaire et du secondaire. ABSTRACT There have been increasing calls in recent years for archivists to become more engaged with the K-12 community and for primary sources to be more integrated into K-12 curricula, that is, primary and secondary education. This paper discusses effective ways to incorporate primary sources in the classroom, and examines teacher attitudes about the use of those sources. The paper begins with an overview of efforts by the archival community and developers of digital resources to develop primary source-based programs for use by K-12 communities in both formal and informal education settings. It then describes the methodology used to conduct this case study, and the case study findings. It concludes with a discussion of the implications of this research for developing a systematic archival and educational infrastructure and establishing a coherent theoretical base for educational use of primary sources in K-12 education.

Using the example of forced displacement and migration the paper focuses on ways in which recordkeeping is inextricably linked to both the causes and possible digital, policy and educational mechanisms for addressing certain aspects of societal grand challenges. These linkages are significantly under-explored and under-addressed in our field. The paper's principal arguments are that archives and recordkeepers have social and ethical responsibilities toward those individuals who are least empowered to engage with official records and recordkeeping practices or to maintain their own records; and that responding will require implementing archival and recordkeeping practices and policy at supra-national and meta-archival levels. The paper suggests some actions and reconceptualisations therefore, that might move us in that direction. Preamble As we ponder the effects and potentials of pervasive networking and digital production on the 21st century record, on institutions, communities and individuals, and on the archival and recordkeeping field 2 and its ideas and activities, it is both professionally and ethically insufficient to do so only from within our own institutional settings and national contexts. While I was preparing this paper for the ARANZ 2015 Conference I was also reflecting on the ways in which the field should be engaging with the compelling and very intractable issues of massive and growing forced displacement and transnational migration resulting from regional conflicts of unprecedented scale, ecological disruption and environmental disaster, and increasing global economic inequities. Such human crises can evoke emotions and provoke highly charged debates that can make some in our field, with its historically dispassionate and distanced approach based on reasoning about the need for professional neutrality, uncomfortable when called upon to engage. However I have previously argued that such "neutrality" is not only impossible, but is also based on misplaced ethical considerations, 3 and there is a growing movement within the field demanding explicit attention to the presence of affect and its effects on archival and recordkeeping professionals, on those who create or use records, and on those who imagine or long for absent records. 4 Passion is essential, and affect is inevitable when we respond to frontline aspects of our work. 5 In this spirit, therefore, I also acknowledge that
