An appreciation of archives would then result in citizens linking archival records with their identity, history, civic duty and cultural heritage. However, research in Eastern and Southern Africa indicates that most citizens are unaware of archives and rarely use them. Apart from financial constraints, this is often associated with inadequate outreach programs. Taking archives to the people (promoting archives) is one way of making citizens aware of archival holdings and facilitating access and use of these resources. Through the application of three research techniques, this article shows that, although the number of archival users in this region is declining, public programming initiatives were not prioritised. Reasons for this included lack of policies; shortage of staff; lack of skills; reluctance to rope in technology in public programming initiatives; working in silos; and budgetary constraints. This article recommends a framework that may help archivists in the Eastern and Southern Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives region to raise awareness about public archival repositories, despite the existing challenges.","PeriodicalId":43371,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Manuscripts","volume":"48 1","pages":"25 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01576895.2019.1604242","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49004492","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}

That tweet was retweeted several dozens of times by their followers. It was referring to a book chapter written by Craig Gauld, Lecturer in Archives and Information Studies at the University of Dundee, entitled ‘The End of Archival Ideas?’, part of the book Archival Futures edited by Caroline Brown. The author of the original tweet (which has since then been deleted) admitted in a later comment that they had not read the work they were commenting about. Most of their followers clearly had not read it either (none of their comments suggested that they had) and liked or retweeted the tweet on the basis of its author’s assumed authority in the archival field. Some of them suggested many names of people who they thought were living proofs that the archival field is flourishing with new thinkers and new ‘ideas’. The problemwith those tweets is not whether or not the authors they listed had come up with new ‘ideas’, but the fact that they rashly condemned Gauld’s argument without having read his paper and tried to understand what he meant by it. In fact, what happened on Twitter in May/June 2019 is a typical illustration of what Gauld was lamenting about in his chapter. Quoting cultural historian Neal Gabler, Gauld wrote that:","PeriodicalId":43371,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Manuscripts","volume":"48 1","pages":"1 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01576895.2020.1711606","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49345772","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}

This article has arisen from a collaboration across that divide, between two individuals who between them embody multiple identities of archivist and publisher, archival and literary scholar. The purpose of this collaboration was to establish a common frame of reference which would encompass and give equal weight to the concerns and working contexts of both. To assist in this aim, both researchers agreed that neither the field of archives or of literary scholarship would be privileged. The focus in this study is on the relationship between the author and the editor within the academic publishing sector. With these parameters set as the starting point, research questions were drawn up from both perspectives to guide the project. These questions were, to some extent, addressed, but a more important outcome of the process was the development of a common frame of reference in which to continue the dialogue, through a broader and more abstract idea of the scholarly record and not just one of records as material resources for literary scholarship.","PeriodicalId":43371,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Manuscripts","volume":"47 1","pages":"359 - 373"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01576895.2019.1609363","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42435522","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}

Although Pratchett was one of the twentieth century’s most successful authors in the English language, he has been largely absent from literary criticism, chiefly because he was and continues to be perceived as a popular author, a writer for the masses. The popularity of his Discworld series of novels led computer game developers to adapt them to new media in the 1980s and 1990s. The Colin Smythe/Terry Pratchett collection at Senate House Library, University of London, provides a treasure trove of information to understand this aspect of Pratchett’s vast literary and publishing output as a result of the survival of invaluable analogue peripheral records, visual and printed sources which document the creative process and Pratchett’s input. The essay argues that although these digital objects have been largely treated as physical objects and have been mostly retained for their artefactual and anecdotal value, the existence of analogue sources provides a unique opportunity to explore them in more detail, taking into account the historical, social and cultural context that enabled their creation to inform their future digital preservation.","PeriodicalId":43371,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Manuscripts","volume":"47 1","pages":"343 - 358"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01576895.2019.1616571","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48039969","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}

Since then, researchers and archivists have experimented with innovative interfaces for access to writer’s archives that emerge from individual research cultures and practices. Simultaneously, archives such as the British Archive for Contemporary Writing (BACW) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) are beginning to collect the work of authors who work in inventive digital ways. This article will therefore explore the following question: how might archivists, authors and researchers profitably collaborate to explore the nature of creativity in the born-digital archive, so that both digital preservation and digital scholarship take place? In doing so, the authors look to the complementary fields of genetic criticism and digital humanities to inform the development of archival tools as ‘hermeneutical instruments’. They will explore how such instruments might allow us to read horizontally across archival strata, building on an ‘esthetic of the possible’ to develop a ‘jouer avec les fonds’, supported through collaboration between researchers, archivists and writers. Finally, the authors consider how this approach challenges archival practices, and propose forms of collaboration that might address both archival practice and emerging forms of scholarship.","PeriodicalId":43371,"journal":{"name":"Archives and Manuscripts","volume":"47 1","pages":"374 - 390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/01576895.2019.1608837","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41500308","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}
