摘要

摘要2014年,作为百年庆典的一部分,澳大利亚红十字会启动了一个项目,将档案移交给澳大利亚各地的国家、州和地区机构,包括墨尔本大学档案馆和新南威尔士州图书馆。将这一庞大(但不完整)的藏品移交给了南澳大利亚州图书馆和澳大利亚战争纪念馆。本文描绘了将这些记录捐赠给公共存储库的计划的起源。它询问了这些藏品的社会来源,认识到记录的多元化是一个历史过程,在这个过程中,必须理解档案管理员、历史学家和行政人员的作用。对澳大利亚红十字会记录的调查揭示了这一过程的偶然性、惰性,以及最终的热情。该论文还揭示了志愿组织在保存其记录方面面临的挑战,以及历史学家和档案管理员如何从帮助这些组织中受益。最后,本文认为,具有国家和国际意义的“国家礼物”项目反映了我们对第一次世界大战的理解向承认志愿组织重要作用的跨国范式的转变。

The historian activist and the Gift to the Nation project: preserving the records of the Australian Red Cross
ABSTRACT In 2014, as part of their centenary celebrations, the Australian Red Cross initiated a project in which it transferred archives to various national, state and territory institutions across Australia including the University of Melbourne Archives and the State Library of New South Wales. The transfer of this voluminous (but not complete) collection built on earlier transfers of archives to the State Library of South Australia and the Australian War Memorial. This paper charts the origins of the plan to donate the records to public repositories. It interrogates the societal provenance of those collections, recognising that the pluralising of records is an historical process, in which the agency of archivists, historians and administrators must be understood. An investigation of Red Cross records in Australia exposes that process in its contingency, inertia and, ultimately, enthusiasm. The paper also reveals the challenges faced by voluntary organisations in preserving their records, and how historians and archivists both can benefit from assisting such organisations. Finally, this paper argues that the ‘Gift to the Nation’ project, with its national and international significance, reflects a shift in our understanding of the First World War to a transnational paradigm that recognises the important role of voluntary organisations.
