Monday, 1:00 PM to 4:00 P.M.
Course Description
The Appraisal and Selection course will treat paper records and those
in other media, including electronic records. I plan to focus critically
upon the following themes: what is the traditional theoretical basis
for appraisal of archival materials, both records and manuscripts, and
the social setting for its emergence; what were the effects of the shift
to a "documentation strategy" as social history gained importance after
the 1960s in the US and elsewhere; what are the changes implied and entailed
by electronic records; and what have been the impacts of changes in archival
practice on the structure of the archival record. Students will investigate
appraisal practices in existing archives to discover what kinds of appraisal
decisions are made in real-world environments, what constraints lead
to such decisions, and how (and when and if!) archivists document their
appraisal decisions.
