The relational museum offers a solution to the problems delineated within this book. The relational museum can help to break down inherited distinctions by looking at collecting networks and (inter)institutional informational infrastructures for museum collections, and by looking at distributed social, cultural, and evidential networks for archives. The relational museum facilitates complex, processual, plural, multi-vocal, and experi-ential representations of collections. Rather than relying on inherited documentation systems that are becoming dysfunctional and unfit for purpose, concepts taken from social science and Indigenous studies can be used to understand and represent the human experiences embo-died in our collections, such as ecosystems, ‘songlines,’ or ‘weave.’ Archival practice protects and standardizes the relationships between records: a similarly relational focus for museum collections would help to link artefacts together, for example, through potentially linking artefacts to multiple classification systems simultaneously and thereby revealing lost or hitherto unrevealed connections. Archive systems of description typically start with the aggregate/wider picture first, then move to the individual item. Museum systems do precisely the opposite, spending less time on the aggregate dimension. Jones makes the point compel-lingly that the focus of museum documentation needs to change instead to ‘thick descriptions’ that are contextualized, culturally rich, and woven into broader complexes.","PeriodicalId":42972,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Records-The Journal of the Archives and Records Association","volume":"43 1","pages":"212 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45074948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative research approaches. It revealed that the public archives’ current visibility activities have only a marginal effect in promoting the visibility and accessibility of archival holdings and archival services. We suggest that public archives establish an active database of key stakeholders that include government’s top management, traditional authorities, legislators and donors of non-public records to collaborate on topics of interest and influence the public’s decision-making pattern regarding the value of an archival heritage for economic, social and cultural development in society. This ensures that public archives remain relevant and engage their public in this knowledge economy for public good. To accomplish this, we recommend a framework to serve as a benchmarking tool for public archives that seek to improve their visibility programmes.","PeriodicalId":42972,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Records-The Journal of the Archives and Records Association","volume":"43 1","pages":"297 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48148847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guidance aimed at those setting up and running them often ignores recordkeeping and archiving, which means that these organizations risk not keeping essential information and losing their records. This article explores this issue by creating a model of how recordkeeping works in a choir through a case study. The main features of recordkeeping identified within the case study organization were: digital working; use of email; informality; and members’ individual preferences for keeping records. Some of these features are present in other working environments, and may become more common in the future where businesses turn away from their office-centred practice. One of the main differences between a business and a freestanding amateur organization is that the latter relies heavily, or entirely, on volunteers, and therefore their opinions on recordkeeping and archiving matters are especially important, as is the culture of the organization.","PeriodicalId":42972,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Records-The Journal of the Archives and Records Association","volume":"43 1","pages":"267 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48997131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So much so, that it is difficult to know quite where to begin and what to leave out. Vic was born in London in 1946, the only child of a working-class family (his father was employed on the London buses). Vic demonstrated his impressive love of learning from a young age. He won a place at King’s College Cambridge and graduated with a First in English in 1968, followed by the Archive postgraduate qualification at UCL in 1968/69. He never lost his love of books and literature, was always interested in new authors from across the globe, and maintained his high standards in his own writing throughout his working life and into retirement. From his first professional post, in Devon County Record Office, Vic demonstrated his unlimited capacity to get things done, not only to the highest standards, but also in a consensual and supportive way. Everyone who contributed to this obituary spoke of how Vic had encouraged them and provided practical support to help them to develop and improve as professionals and managers. He was a great manager himself, achieving results and giving credit to others, although he did not hesitate to also point out where improvement was needed or possible. He had a remarkable instinct for identifying when and where change was required and then, after due consideration, mapping out the way forward. In his second post, as Deputy at Suffolk Record Office from 1972 and in his first appointment as a head of service at Essex from 1978, he offered measured, unflappable leadership far in advance of his years. He never lost this capacity, even when inwardly he was disappointed or annoyed. Diplomacy and sensitivity were required in his early years at Essex, leading a service which regarded itself as the best in England, but which Vic could see was capable of improvement and modernization. By the time he moved on to a new challenge with the Rothschild Archive in 1993, he entrusted to his successor in Essex a flagship service which had a clearly mapped out future, both in terms of new buildings but also working methods which would become widespread across the sector over the next few years. His impact in Essex was significant, with strengthened branch arrangements, computerization, records management, the establishment of the Essex Sound Archive (conducting some of the early interviews himself) and the fledgling ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 2022, VOL. 43, NO. 1, 111–114 https://doi.org/10.1080/23257962.2022.2042677","PeriodicalId":42972,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Records-The Journal of the Archives and Records Association","volume":"43 1","pages":"111 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43433344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
