{"title":"Seventy years of strenuous efforts: tracing the development of archival higher education in China (1952–2022)","authors":"Jiarui Sun","doi":"10.1007/s10502-024-09472-8","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10502-024-09472-8","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Since its inception in 1952, shortly after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and continuing up to 2022, China’s archival higher education has traversed a remarkable 70-years journey. This period has witnessed the emergence of the world’s largest higher education system in archival studies, offering programs from bachelor’s to doctoral levels. This paper traces the origins and evolution of archival higher education in China, providing a nuanced exploration that segments this journey into four phases: foundation and early development (1952–1966), disruption and suspension (1966–1978), recovery and expansion (1978–1998), and advancement and transformation (1998–2022). Furthermore, this study reveals that China’s archival higher education is characterized by distinctive features, including a deep influence from the socio-political environment, Renmin University’s pioneering role at the forefront, the significance of undergraduate education as both the starting point and an important component, and the strategic leadership and coordination provided by the Archival Higher Education Steering Committee. These elements differentiate China’s archival education from that of many other nations, showcasing a development trajectory that is distinctly Chinese. Moreover, this paper emphasizes the critical need for archival education to remain responsive to both domestic imperatives and international trends. China’s archival education narrates a compelling story of adaptation, innovation, and national pride, offering valuable lessons on educational evolution in a rapidly changing global landscape. By highlighting these aspects, this paper aims to enrich the discourse on archival education, demonstrating how it can flourish amidst shifting socio-political dynamics and emerging global challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46131,"journal":{"name":"ARCHIVAL SCIENCE","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142694717","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}

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":"24 4","pages":"825 - 845"},"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":"24 4","pages":"923 - 945"},"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}
