As context-based disciplines, archives and archaeology foreground the concept of provenance and construct meanings about objects and records from contextual relationships. Context, which is related to but also distinct from provenance, is difficult to disentangle from the latter. While sometimes conflated and used interchangeably, subtle differences distinguish the two concepts. This article explores the ways that archives and archaeology employ the concepts of provenance and context, and the messiness with which they do.

It begins by introducing key recordkeeping concepts and goes on to explore records continuum theory and the records continuum model, a four-dimensional map of the recordkeeping and archival contexts of creation, capture, organisation and pluralisation. Continuum principles of provenance and ambience are situated in the model. An analysis of how provenance is currently narrowly applied in practice leads into an exploration of the power of ambience and provenance in the continuum. The following sections on Participatory Rights in Childhood Recordkeeping in Out of Home Care in Australia and Living Archives on Country illustrate how these concepts, together with those of multiple, simultaneous and parallel provenance, can be powerful tools in transforming the subjects of records into active recordkeeping agents. The illustrative examples relate to pioneering research on co-designing extensive suites of rights for co-creators of records who were previously relegated to the status of subjects of the record, and Indigenous archival sovereignty. They enable acknowledgement, enrichment, empowerment and coexistence of multiple, even contrary, positions, and provide frameworks for participatory recordkeeping and archiving.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10502-024-09463-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Documenting Territorialidad: an intercultural approach to the provenance of Mapuche land records","authors":"María Montenegro","doi":"10.1007/s10502-024-09466-6","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10502-024-09466-6","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Using critical place research and documentary methods, this article examines the Mapuche territorial cause in Chile and exposes the deficiencies of state-produced Mapuche land titles, known as <i>Títulos de Merced</i>, which are required for and (mis)used as evidence by Chile’s Indigenous land restitution program. The <i>Títulos de Merced</i> were granted to Mapuche families during and after the military occupation of <i>Wallmapu</i> (Mapuche territory), as documentation of their relocation to <i>reducciones</i> (reservations) between 1884 and 1929. However, these approximately 3000 titles do not fully represent Mapuche land claims. Instead, they were used by the newly formed Chilean state to reduce Mapuche territory to approximately 5% of its ancestral span, leaving undocumented much of the territories that communities were effectively using before the reduction process––what Mapuche claimants refer to as <i>tierras antiguas</i> or ancestral lands. Despite this, CONADI, the government agency that administers the land program, defines these titles as the primary sources of documentary evidence to prove Mapuche land dispossession. Therefore, not only are the <i>Títulos de Merced</i> not enough, but they negatively impact Mapuche land claims by purposefully reducing, once again, Mapuche ancestral territory, this time discursively. Mapuche claimants are paradoxically forced to validate claims to their ancestral land through documents that were designed to legitimize their dispossession. By examining the insufficiency and inappropriateness of the <i>Títulos de Merced</i> as evidence for Mapuche territorial claims, this paper proposes the intercultural practice of documenting <i>territorialidad</i>—the expression of cultural, economic, and spiritual Mapuche practices over the territory—in addition to colonial demarcations of land, as a form of producing/using evidence for Mapuche land restitution claims. Suggesting the <i>mapu</i> (land/territory) as provenance and <i>territorialidad</i> as evidence, this alternative documentary practice unsettles the <i>Títulos de Merced</i> as the only legitimate form of evidence for Mapuche land claims and theorizes <i>interculturalidad</i>—the recognition of and dialogue between diverse ways of knowing coexisting within the same territory—as a framework for thinking about provenance when working with Indigenous land records.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10502-024-09466-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To do this, we draw on our experience working with two personal archives from the South: one from Argentine physicist and mathematician Carlos Mallmann, and the other from Italian-Argentinian sociologist Gino Germani. Unlike State archives in which preserving, organizing, identifying, and standardizing public documents are a regulated obligation, the safekeeping of documents in the case of personal records is a contingency. They must overcome multiple obstacles: interventions by their custodians, difficulties in their serialization and standardization, etc. However, we will argue that some sections of personal records, especially when their creators have played institutional roles, can function as institutional archives and even as public archives. In the case of the peripheries, this feature becomes an important patrimonial aspect, given the constitutive fragility of public archives. This fragility relates to problematic issues of statehood, such as hegemony, domination, and sovereignty. We argue that these archives are constitutively incomplete, precarious, contaminated, and hybrid, leading us to problematize some aspects of the archival ratio. The latter (surreptitiously) permeates and naturalizes the experience of the North Atlantic nation-state, universalizing a singular (and historical) form of producing hegemony as a totality. Finally, we propose some reflections and raise some questions regarding how institutionality/statehood is modulated in the archives from the peripheries, and how some aspects of the classical North Atlantic notion of “provenance” appears here “out of place”.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224171","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}
