The project presented many challenges that can arise when collaborating across institutions. This case study documents the processing project, explores the challenges faced throughout, and reflects on lessons learned that make this a replicable model for collaborative pre-donation processing.","PeriodicalId":35382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archival Organization","volume":"16 1","pages":"1 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332748.2019.1642704","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43884075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each of the authors featured here has generously contributed their own perspective, knowledge, and professional expertise. Their articles not only illustrate traditional approaches to historical preservation, but also focus attention on the need for practical training through internships, practicums, and other programs. This leads to a discussion about best practices for keeping the profession alive and meaningful for future generations of archivists and those who have need of their services. In his retrospective analysis of the parallels between public history and traditional archival training entitled, “Reflections on Public History and Archives Education,” Peter Wosh, emeritus Director of the Archives and Public History program at New York University, provides a look back at the curricular methods used in both areas of study over the years. Nicole Milano shares with us her research on community programing initiated by the American Field Service in honor of the “Great War,” a major event in global history that lies at the center of her study. Her article, “The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, 1914–1919 Curriculum: Commemorating the Past and Celebrating the Future,” shows how this educational program offers a structured and interactive means of creating awareness while commemorating an oft-forgotten event in the annals of 20th century America. This initiative would not have been possible if not for the use of unique primary source materials. Among the successful results include easily accessed resources including a lesson plan, informational book, special forums, and continued volunteer opportunities. When it comes to the state of instruction related to archival science, a specific look at one type of specialized approach is provided by Jonathan Naveh in his article, “Education Against the Grain: Examining the Evolution of Media Archival Training at UCLA.” Naveh evaluates the functionality of a major graduate program from a student perspective, while at","PeriodicalId":35382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archival Organization","volume":"15 1","pages":"93 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332748.2019.1613314","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45323529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wosh","doi":"10.1080/15332748.2019.1613316","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15332748.2019.1613316","url":null,"abstract":"Casual observers might assume that public historians and archivists enjoy a close working relationship. Both fields share a commitment to preserving historical documentation and making history accessible to diverse popular audiences. Practitioners typically work in a broad array of institutions ranging from large federal agencies to small non-profits. They generally endorse such core values as open access to information, respect for personal privacy, ethical approaches to community engagement, and methodological transparency. Public historians and archivists often participate in joint advocacy efforts, attempting to hold public agencies and private institutions accountable by promoting sound recordkeeping practices and solid historical studies. They share similar funding sources, and have benefited from the support of such governmental agencies as the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Beneath the surface, however, a clear disciplinary divide has complicated relationships between these two professions. Public historians and archivists attend different professional conferences, read different journals, pursue different degrees, and train in different graduate schools. Their foundational literature contains little overlap. Distinct historical factors have shaped their basic principles and practices. In fact, public history and archives professionals remain peculiarly isolated from each other, as well as from academic historians. A brief consideration of their distinctive histories over the past forty years largely explains the separation, but also points toward collaborative possibilities for the future. Public historians brought a messianic zeal and an expansive vision to their work in the late 1970s, as they began to define their field of study. Though historians always have attempted to engage multiple publics, a group of university-based scholars coalesced roughly forty years ago around a series of theoretical and practical issues in an effort to revolutionize their discipline. In part, their work grew out of the communitybased History Workshop movement associated with the Marxist historians Eric Hobsbawm, E.P. Thompson, and their colleagues in Britain. It also owed much to the rise of New Left scholars in the United States, who sought to link their work with working-class audiences, racial and ethnic minorities, and the social protesters who were challenging social and academic norms. Public historians at the time enthusiastically embraced new fields including popular culture studies, local and community history, visual literacy, and critical media analysis. They incorporated such seemingly radical methodologies as oral history into their work. They considered museum exhibitions and film to be legitimate methods of scholarly output, equal if not superior to the traditional monograph. Public historians remained committed to producing carefully considered and cutting-edge historical scholarsh","PeriodicalId":35382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archival Organization","volume":"15 1","pages":"95 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15332748.2019.1613316","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47109579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
