Khipus were produced and consulted by Inka administrators for a variety of purposes, including the recording of censuses, tribute data, as well as life histories and genealogies of the Inka nobility. Cord-keepers were organized in a hierarchical arrangement of officials, from local khipukamayuqs (‘knot makers/organizers'), to higher-level officials who staffed provincial administrative centers, to state cord-keepers in the capital, Cusco. The khipu-keepers stored collections of khipus in regional centers and in Cusco where they could be consulted on a variety of matters of interest to the state. This study looks first at the way information was recorded on the knotted-cord records. This is followed by an overview of what we know to date about archival collections of khipus, including a close study of a colonial era khipu archive from the Santa Valley, on the north-central coast of Peru. Of particular note is the fact that many khipus were stored in burial chambers with ancestral mummies, a situation that left these records accessible to descendants of the ancestors, who visited the burial chambers where they paid tribute to the mummies and consulted the knot records.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

They thus can serve as a critical apparatus for articulating, delimiting and contextualizing the record and the archive on an infinite number of temporal dimensions. The implementations and worldviews of metadata, however, historically are often discontinuous or vary in different periods and settings, making it harder to discern their manifestations and influence. Metadata, and discourse formation around metadata, therefore, deserve and require careful excavation, contextualization, and analysis. The paper proposes using a Foucauldian ‘archaeological’ approach to gain a more nuanced and contextualized understanding of the diversity of metadata and metadata discourses. It illustrates this approach with perhaps one of the earliest of historical cases—that of the Royal Archive at Ebla. … analyzing the history of archival ideas requires listening to the archival discourse of the time or place involved. Archival historical analysis requires revisiting the principal professional discussions that leading archivists had about their work and with each other. It requires hearing again, and understanding within the context of their time, and our own, their assumptions, ideas, and concepts … Archival theory should not be seen as a set of immutable scientific laws disinterestedly formed and holding true for all time … Terry Cook, 1997.2 … so I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels of silver. I signed and sealed the deed, had it witnessed, and weighed out the silver on the scales. I took the deed of purchase – the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions, as well as the unsealed copy—and I gave this deed to Baruch, son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of my cousin Hanamel and of the witnesses who had signed the deed and all of the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard. In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’ Jeremiah 32: 9-15 3 (written ca. 580 B.C.E. in anticipation of his own exile in Egypt and the exile of the Jewish people in Babylon).","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

During the nineteenth century, advances in mapmaking techniques, particularly in relation to surveying and reproduction, led to more maps being available that could be reused or adapted for recordkeeping purposes. The fully effective use of maps as records emerged not only because of such developments in cartographic techniques but also because record creators developed the mindset to embrace the administrative potential of maps and incorporate them into recordkeeping systems.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.
