The article uses the research of the UK MIRRA (Memory – Identity – Rights in Records – Access) project as its critical evidence base. MIRRA is a participatory research project, hosted at the Department of Information Studies at University College London (UCL) since 2017, which places Care Leavers as co-researchers at the heart of the work. The study has gathered evidence from care-experienced people, social workers, archivists, records managers, and researchers. The case context of care-experienced people provides a powerful focus for shifting views of records creation and ownership. Care-experienced people across the globe are situated within organizational systems that act as surrogate parents, but where the children or young people are often powerless to co-create and store their own memories, which would enable them to forge positive identities and revisit these through time. Positive and holistic life story narratives are rarely found. In addition, children's care records are often accessible to care-experienced people only through legislative processes and without critical support. This research reframes the recordkeeping model, placing the care-experienced person at the heart of the process in order to ensure the co-creation of records and the maintenance of identity through time. The research acknowledges the complex and sometimes conflicting needs of diverse actors in children's recordkeeping, including social workers, archivists, records managers, and researchers. It rethinks the actors' relationships and responsibilities around the records and systems, drawing out a framework that makes explicit the value of active person-centred recordkeeping.résumé:Cet article, en élaborant un cadre d'archivage, examine le concept de co-création et de préservation d'archives basée sur les personnes.

Delving into the theoretical foundations and developments in the fields of archival studies and cartography, it explores the creation of cartographic materials and focuses on their processing by archives (i.e., their appraisal, arrangement, description, and preservation and the means of making them available to archival researchers). The lag between theoretical developments and practical applications is illustrated through the creation and management of the Canada Land Inventory (CLI) and Canada Geographic Information System (CGIS) materials held by Library and Archives Canada. An analysis of the creation and ongoing management of these materials highlights the role of cartography and archives in the formation of Canada as a modern colonial state and in the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous Peoples.RÉSUMÉ:Cet article plaide en faveur de l'intégration d'une approche interdisciplinaire aux matériaux cartographiques dans les archives, en particulier en ce qui concerne la description et la préservation. Explorant les fondements théoriques et les développements dans les domaines de l'archivistique et de la cartographie, il se penche sur la création des documents cartographiques et leur traitement par les archives (c.-à-d. leur évaluation, leur classement, leur description et leur préservation, ainsi que les moyens de les rendre accessibles aux chercheurs). Le décalage entre les développements théoriques et les applications pratiques est illustré par les documents de l'Inventaire des terres du Canada (ITC) et du Système d'information géographique du Canada (SIG) détenus par Bibliothèque et Archives Canada.

Journals, diaries, memoirs, and reminiscences located in these collections provide evidence of what it was like to work on a ship, far from home, travelling to foreign lands. In this article, I explore first-hand accounts of maritime life by Van Horne Morris, my maternal grandfather and a 1938 graduate of the Massachusetts Nautical School (now known as Massachusetts Maritime Academy), and several alumni of the New York Nautical School (now known as SUNY Maritime College), who graduated between 1896 and 1929. Close reading of their letters and manuscripts reveals echoes of a maritime literary tradition rooted in the antebellum-era United States. Comparing and contrasting the style and content of their writing to antecedents in the 19th century also illuminates continuity and changes in maritime labour and culture over time.RÉSUMÉ:Les documents personnels conservés dans les archives du Maritime College du State University de New York témoignent de la vie d'anciens élèves depuis la fondation de l'école en 1874 jusqu'aux premières décennies du XXe siècle. Les journaux intimes, les journaux de bord, les mémoires et les souvenirs que l'on trouve dans ces collections témoignent de ce que c'était que de travailler sur un navire, loin de chez soi, en voyageant vers des terres étrangères. Dans cet article, j'explore les récits de première main de la vie maritime de Van Horne Morris, mon grand-père maternel et diplômé en 1938 du Massachusetts Nautical School (aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de Massachusetts Maritime Academy), et de plusieurs anciens élèves du New York Nautical School (aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de SUNY Maritime College), diplômés entre 1896 et 1929. Une lecture attentive de leurs lettres et manuscrits révèle les échos d'une tradition littéraire maritime enracinée dans les États-Unis de l'avant-guerre. La comparaison et le contraste entre le style et le contenu de leurs écrits et ceux de leurs prédécesseurs au XIXe siècle mettent également en lumière la continuité et les changements dans le travail et la culture maritimes au fil du temps.","PeriodicalId":35881,"journal":{"name":"Archivaria","volume":"50 1","pages":"100 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86809200","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}

As one way to increase support, archives have increasingly carved out time and resources for various types of outreach. One important audience that has long been acknowledged is children. In the past, archivists have visited classrooms, brought children to archives, and prepared kits of archival facsimiles or surrogates on websites for children to use with the guidance of teachers. But another way to reach children includes narratives in books, films, and television directed at children. This article explores a number of titles to see whether archives and archivists are accurately portrayed in the narratives. The numbers are few, and the portrayals are generally weak. Two exceptions were books created by an archivist and commissioned by an archives. These two approaches led to significant works that enhance children’s understanding of archives and archivists and lead the way as examples for future archival endeavours to emulate.","PeriodicalId":35881,"journal":{"name":"Archivaria","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77081824","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}
