Numerous archives were seized and transported between the German principalities and across Europe during this period. Despite the fact that this upheaval occurred during wartime, very few archives were destroyed. In fact, as this article aims to show, enemy archives were often regarded as highly valuable goods, treated with care, and used for many different purposes. Analysing contemporary transport lists and archival inventories sheds light on the various ways historical actors used seized documents and ascribed value and meaning to them. This article highlights four major uses: Firstly, deeds and records were essential to establish the dominion and administration of newly conquered territories. Secondly, seized documents were used as sources of political information. Thirdly, they were printed in political pamphlets as evidence in battles of propaganda. And finally, looted documents were sold for their material value or collected as antiquarian and cultural goods. Examining the uses of archives displaced in war, thus, serves as a mirror of contemporary cultural practices of archives and documents in general. At the same time, the war itself and the ensuing displacement influenced archival practice and document use and perception.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10502-025-09491-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145167366","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}

Several prominent researchers and theorists have suggested policy and practice elements that would support trauma-informed archives based on principles of transparency, empathy and respect; survivor-centered approaches; and creating a culture of caring. While these contributions have been critical to a shifting paradigm of archival practice, to date there is no tool to measure the degree to which organizations have enacted such approaches. A quantitative approach to measuring practices could complement existing qualitative scholarship, documenting progress in this area and supporting research to evaluate whether these practices, if implemented, lead to better outcomes. This study describes the development and evaluation of the Trauma-Informed Archival Practices Scale which contains items derived from the scholarly literature and previous research of the developers. The tool was distributed to archival institutions across Canada, and a factor analysis was conducted with the resulting sample of 167 organizations. The total scale and four subscales related to users, donors, community members, and staff demonstrated adequate reliability and theoretical congruence. The resulting tool may thus be a useful addition to current approaches to research on traumatic aspects of archives and models for ameliorating potential impacts on researchers, donors and archivists.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10502-025-09499-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145164656","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}

It takes off in well-known processes of centralisation, nationalisation and dislocations of archives to discuss how experiences of missing documents and holdings have shaped historiographical practice and thought. Drawing on theorisations of archival silences, imagined records and materiality, the article argues that although ideas about the past are immaterial, archivists’ and historians’ perceptions of history relied on archival materiality. This is illustrated by two case studies of fragmented, supranational holdings: the establishment of the Central Archive of the Teutonic Order in Habsburg Vienna, and lost archives in the Baltic provinces of Romanov Russia. The article shows how practices such as mappings of holdings, negotiations of restitutions and provenance, and publications of source editions materialised absence. Enquiries into absence certainly generated new knowledge about archives, past dislocations and loss. However, the article also demonstrates that investigations of absence have produced ignorance and further absences. In conclusion, the article argues the benefits of absence studies. The cases illuminate that absence was a material issue with an intricate relationship to imagined documents and holdings. Moreover, the article recognises a long history of archival silences, which may take different forms and affect different groups throughout history. Lastly, the article addresses the issue of representation and argues the value of disregarding the nation when historicising theoretically pressing issues such as archival absence and its materiality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10502-025-09494-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145163443","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}

Concepts travel in the sense that they are taken from one setting or discourse and applied in others; as they move across historical periods, disciplines, or communities of practice, concepts are adapted, reframed, and reformulated. Engaging with concepts that travel is a useful way of finding common ground in cross-disciplinary exchanges and can enrich the theoretical and methodological foundations of specific disciplinary knowledge. In this article I follow the travels of authenticity in the field of cultural heritage conservation from its association with “originality” and “genuineness” in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to its emergent understanding in the twenty-first century as “networks of relationships between people, objects, and places” (Jones, J Mater Cult 15:181–203, 2010). By following these travels I hope to make a case for the value of reorienting archival thinking around this crosscutting concept and to consider whether the story of authenticity’s travels in the field of cultural heritage conservation might provide a jumping off point for a more expansive and expressive conceptualization of authenticity in the field of archival studies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145161804","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}

Archives were moved, confiscated, looted, destroyed, and rearranged on an unprecedented scale. In addition, large portions of Europe’s archives were transported to Paris to form a central imperial repository during the period 1809–1814. What kinds of written artifacts were confiscated and why? To whom did the displaced documents actually belong? What does the removal of archives reveal of Western European documentary culture? The article focuses on collections of loose charters and deeds, particularly in Italy. Traditionally considered among most the valuable objects for their legal, political, and historical value, collections of parchments were reorganised or created <i>ex nihilo</i> in several countries in the eighteenth century. Their displacement raised questions about the definition, significance, potential uses, and proper preservation of documents and the meaning and functions of archives. French confiscations exacerbated such disputes, mixing them with (proto) national arguments about ownership and identity. The archival wars under Napoleon are, thus, a perfect example of the heuristic potential of removal in studying the longue durée history of archives and archival cultures. </p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145161226","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}

What does it mean for archival materials or websites to be “accessible”? To begin answering this question, I examined 55 archives’ online materials using three metrics: discoverability, usability, and readability. For this project, discoverability focuses on the logic of the paths from an archive's homepage to target items. Usability evaluates the implementation of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the presence of multiple access points for information. Readability looks at the reading levels of descriptive text using Flesch–Kincaid analysis and the presence of text alternatives. I find that, at present, discoverability, usability, and readability for the examined archival materials are low. However, by breaking down the broad idea of “accessibility” into three categories, improving that reality might become easier.
