Examples are taken from the Students' Register at the University of Copenhagen, the Central Register for Motor Vehicles, the Danish Civil Registration System (CRS) and the National Patient Register (NPR).","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

It will shed light on the different uses made of public documents as well as on the different approaches to recordkeeping, from the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. These archives, shared by all family members and transmitted from generation to generation, eventually became extremely voluminous partly because copies from documents in public registries were made and kept, but also because new types of analytical documents based on data extracted from the public record were introduced. Until the eighteenth century, when rational retrieval systems began to be introduced, the documents were kept in ‘buste’ (containers) and extracted as and when needed by the officeholder.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

The development of patient documentation was influenced by three aspects: firstly the earliest documents, from the early 18th century, became increasingly structured as diverse office technologies entered the hospital's ward at this time. Secondly while medical recording in the narrow sense remained private, the regular and formalized reporting system in the hospital wards of the Charité became an important part of clinical education. Finally the growing scientific role of the records became evident with the reorganisation of the hospital record into a double filing system in the late 1870s, thus allowing the clinicians to use and select patient files systematically for research purposes.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

The second part, Communities and Non-traditional Record Keeping, begins with The Single Noongar Claim: Native Title, Archival Records and Aboriginal Community in Western Australia, an edited version of Glen Kelly’s address to the I-CHORA IV conference in Perth, Australia. Informal in tone, the paper traces the process of gathering and assessing evidence in support of a native title claim, including anthropological and pseudo-anthropological sources. Kelly discusses the records produced by the office of the Protector of Aborigines and the Christian missions, including the ‘caste cards’ that were ‘used to track the caste or blood quantum of people’, to classify them ‘native or not’. Kelly shows how the record now runs contrary to the intentions of the record makers and the fears of the subjects of the records; in documenting a ‘dying race’ the white anthropologists and clerks of the native welfare system created records that would be used to claim indigenous sovereignty, while, having learnt not to speak to white visitors, the Noongars created a gap in the record that would weaken the claim made by their descendants. Patricia Galloway’s Oral Tradition in Living Cultures: the Role of Archives in the Preservation of Memory is similarly well-situated in this part. Exploring two very different communities’ relation with the ‘other’ system of information exchange, Galloway demonstrates that across communities a diversity of modes of transmission are being adopted and will continue to work in conjunction with others. The two communities examined by the author are medical students, shown to be embedded in a ‘literate context’ but engaged in the oral transmission of mnemonics that aid in the study of anatomy, and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians who are adopting writing to preserve a formerly exclusively oral language.

Parallels were drawn to offices in large organizations in business and industry and an active market of office products offered a growing choice of machines and other appliances for use in public offices. Demands for manpower in the military and related industries during the First and Second World Wars coupled with an increase in public business in civil offices encouraged both novelty and greater system in analysing processes to overcome obstacles to speed and management controls. Certainly by 1930 civil servants in Britain saw their offices as being different from those of their predecessors. Modern ideas linking specialist skills in organization and methods with machine processes drove changes to increase economy and to speed workflow. This article explores aspects of office history in the British Civil Service especially as it relates to the use of machines for written communications, the conditions that encouraged their use, and the ideas that came in their wake.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

Little is known about the historical development of the nursing profession in these towns, reflecting a relative gap in the literature about provincial and regional nursing histories and the lives and work of ‘ordinary’ nurses. The WYNOHC, located at the University of Huddersfield Archives, therefore provides a valuable source of information.1 However, the richness of the data provides for a wider audience than just nurses, as it contains historical details not only of nursing and health care but places these within the social context of the twentieth century with information about nurses' family life, education, religion and social activities. The nurses discuss their childhood and school years as well as their work experiences, which provide details of the local history of the towns with examples of public transport, the introduction of the motor car, shopping and entertainment.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.

A review of the literature suggests that the theory provides an interesting approach to the study of how records perform communicative acts, reflecting their creator's intentions, and have an effect on the reader. The theory's strengths, weaknesses and limitations are considered with reference to their implications for archival records. The works of Austin, Searle and Derrida are critiqued. Henttonen and Underwood's applications of this theory to archives are also evaluated. The author questions whether records contain sufficient internal contextual information to support speech acts or whether they rely on provenance. It is suggested that as a means to study communication, an analysis of speech act theory in archival science must always place participants and context centrally. The perlocutionary effects of records are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":81733,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Society of Archivists.
