Contemporary challenges in archival science and possible guidelines for universities to confront them

West – East

The aspect of archival science as a scientific discipline is quite young compared to other scientific disciplines. The field of the archival science education was not systematically regulated in Slovenia, since the study of archival science at the public university was not established. Knowledge of what is necessary in the elaboration of the device to emphasize, archivists usually acquire with longstanding work in archives and in direct contact with users. By analysing the current needs and issues "on the field" at records creation in this paper the author will compare those results to results of analysis of educational program of archival science and records management in Slovenia, as well as further orientations for improving it. The article attempts to determine how satisfactory is the approach of pedagogical process to fulfil the knowledge gap of archival records creators and archives.

Efficacy of Information Systems in Managing Archives in Indonesia's Ministry of Religion's Office

Pionir : Jurnal Pendidikan, 2021

The exponential growth of data, which occurs every day, can wreak havoc on records management. The more data, the more important the data collection process. It is very important to have reliable records management so that the records management process can run well. Information technology is one solution that can be used. Archive management using information technology is a method that allows archives to be easily organized according to their purpose and search. Information technology-based archive applications are very useful in terms of archive administration and the process of sharing archives with other units. The purpose of this study is to see how effective the use of information technology is in managing archives at the Ministry of Religion Office of Lhokseumawe City. Qualitative descriptive technique was used in this study, with data collection through interviews or conversations, as well as literature study. The results of this study indicate that the use of information systems in archive management, as well as the use of technology in archive management at the Office of the Ministry of Religion of Lhokseumawe City, is very useful and effective. Network constraints and the lack of human resources at the Office of the Ministry of Religion of Lhokseumawe City are one of the obstacles to its management.

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Innovative Research Across Disciplines (ICIRAD 2021), 2022

The purpose of this research is to determine the Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha) archivist's archive management in terms of planning, organization, direction, and supervision. This study was designed using a qualitative approach to achieve these goals. Informants were interviewed and data documentation was obtained from the Undiksha archivist to obtain information about research data. The informants in this study are part of the Undiksha archives. To ensure the validity of the data in this study, data triangulation techniques such as source triangulation, method triangulation, and theoretical triangulation were used. According to the findings of this study, Undiksha archivists performed excellent archive management functions, beginning with planning, organizing, directing, and managing. Each aspect of management has been carried out in accordance with the plan using a defined and measurable process. Digital archive management has also been carried out correctly in accordance with established procedures.

Towards a master’s program in archival studies at the School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS), University of the Philippines

2017

The archival community worldwide faces challenges posed by the advent of digital communication, shifting understandings of archives prompted by a new emphasis on the power of means of communication and archives to shape knowledge, and fundamental debates that have followed over how archives should be run. Archivists from different parts of the world have started to revamp archival concepts, learn new skills, and acquire the specialized knowledge through graduate level education (master's and doctoral degrees) necessary to address these challenges. Such specialized university degree programs in archival studies are fairly new phenomena. Professional education for archivists was initially offered in many countries by archives themselves to their new staff members and through conferences held by archival associations. Some then followed with one-year graduate diploma programs that eventually developed into a full master's degree. In Canada, the Association of Canadian Archivists first established guidelines for master's degree programs for educating archivists in 1976. The first master's program in Archival Studies offered in North America was launched in 1981 by the University of British Columbia. In the United States, the first guidelines for the development of a graduate program in Archival Studies came out in 1993. In Asia, by the late 1950s courses in archives were offered in several countries such as Vietnam, Taiwan, and the Philippines, but not as a specialized degree program. the impact of the changing communication technology on records and records creation and the evolving concepts of the nature and uses of memory, authority, evidence and truth undermine the ongoing relevance of the classical manuals." 8 Moreover, the archival community faces challenges posed by shifting understandings of archives prompted by a new emphasis on the power of the means of communication, and the role of archives in shaping knowledge, including fundamental debates that have followed over how archives should be run. Archival theorists have identified and analyzed the impact on archival theory and practice of these challenges and critical changes in the nature, use and organization, and processing of records as well as changes in the wider cultural, legal, technological, social, and philosophical trends in society. 9 These changes, according to Cook, require archivists to reexamine traditional archival principles "from a product-focused to a process-oriented activity, in order to preserve in the best manner the collective memory of nations and peoples." 10 However, as archival educator Eric Ketelaar suggests, there is a need to understand how archival concepts are defined across different cultures in order to come up with universal principles that can guide the field of study and its practice. 11 published in 1922, while Theodore Schellenberg authored Modern Archives: Principles and Techniques in 1956. These three books became the major theoretical basis for archival principles and practices.

Changes in archives' philosophy and functions at the turn of the 20th/21st centuries

In the last 20-30 years the archives in Europe have undergone tremendous changes. Although the archives have always been ever changing but the changes have accelerated in the 1980s. Nowadays the archives have different requirements, way of thinking and values, they act and react differently as 30 years ago, i.e. they have a different philosophy. The new philosophy can be described in a few words: popularisation, transparency, openness, market approach, media culture and information-centricity.

REFLEKSIJE PANDEMIJE NA DOSTUPNOST ISTRAŽIVANJA ARHIVSKE GRAĐE U ARHIVIMA // PANDEMIC REFLECTIONS ON THE AVAILABILITY OF ARCHIVAL RESEARCH IN ARCHIVES

ARHIVSKI POGLEDI//ARCHIVAL VIEWS, God//Vol. II, Br/No. 2, 2021

Based on his own experience, the author talks about the availability of research on archival material in archives, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the surrounding countries, in the context of the SARS-COV-2 virus pandemic. The paper treats positive and negative examples, which the author met during the research of archival material in archives, then on the establishment of communication and how to get to archival material in the archives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Archives of Yugoslavia in Beograd and the Croatian State Archives in Zagreb. Several positive examples of work were pointed out, but also negative examples of work in the mentioned archives. Also, based on his own experience during research in archives, the author proposed recommendations, which archives should work on, „not in the future, but now“, in order to create favorable conditions for the smooth operation of researchers and employees in archives.
