Automated is transform the materials or records into digital form. As the era of the technology present, the demanding of digital records is drastically increased. Automated records may present archivists their greatest challenge in identifying, selecting, and preserving records of enduring value. Since the introduction of the computer, archivists have been concerned about its impact on their profession's mission. Based on report by the National Archives of Canada on machine-readable data stated that "if one were to take the traditional archival approach of waiting for whatever recorded information came out of the system, then the archivist in the electronic age will undoubtedly die of information starvation."23 Over the past decade archivists have tried to redefine their role in the modern information age, 24 but many seem to have been merely paying lip service to society's major shift to an "information" era. At present one can count on one hand the number of major programs established to deal with automated records, and these are only located at some of the largest archival institutions - The National Archives of Canada, the U.S. National Archives, and the New York, Utah, and Kentucky state archives. Contrast this with the facts: computers have been used for three decades, personal computers have become an ubiquitous feature of society in just the past decade, and a major portion of all information presently being created is going into automated systems of some variety. Nevertheless, there is overwhelming evidence that archivists are not effectively appraising such information nor using the helpful findings of previous research. 25 Current research is, however, both innovative and promising. Archivists have made substantial pro...

...he automated systems themselves. Otherwise, archivists risk losing a large portion of the overall body of information that should be saved.
Fourth, and finally, archivists must determine how to become involved in the decision- making process of creating automated information systems and to demonstrate to system designers, through cogent arguments based on hard research results, why long-term retention is important. Sufficient technological sophistication will be required to suggest how this can be done. Archivists have no choice. If they do not do this, they risk losing information of enduring value that has been destroyed or is otherwise irretrievable.27 Archivists must be sensitive and responsible to the changing context of their mission, realizing that theirs is the only profession with the unique role of identifying and preserving information of enduring value.
Lynn Davis has served as Adam’s secretary and bookkeeper for 7 years. All records have been kept in manual form. However, the scale of operations has expanded substantially in recent years to the point where it has become very difficult for Lynn to keep the books up to date. Two years ago, Lynn took an introductory computing course at a local community collage. Since that time, she has been pressuring Adam to buy a PC so that some of her work can be computerized.
When I found out I qualified to be a candidate for the NJHS, I knew I had to take this chance. This group is made up of people who depict leadership, character, citizenship, academic success, and service and I would love to join. These characteristics wouldn't just be valuable for a candidate to have, but for everyone to have to exceed in life. If I were to be in the National Junior Honor Society, it would give me an opportunity to ameliorate my future and motivate me to do better.
Did you know tobacco and alcohol use cause over 475,000 deaths in the U.S. annually? To assist young people in avoiding these harmful behaviors, the D.A.R.E. program enhances the knowledge and awareness of the hazards regarding dangerous substances throughout a ten week program. The acronym D.A.R.E. stands for drugs, abuse, resistance, and education. D.A.R.E. ensures the safety of adolescents in various situations and instills beneficial strategies, techniques, and tips to aid young people in making responsible decisions.
The author of this website, which would be the National Council on Public History, is specifically looking at what exactly is public history and what exactly is meant by public history. Public History can be defined as history in the field. It is the use of history in real life situations. It is history applied and goes outside the realm of academic history. The author does mention that while there used to be clear definitions between public and academic history with public history being more multi-disciplinary, history as an academic subject has also increasingly become multi-disciplinary. Public historians have many different names such as archivists, museum professionals, and local historians. The author’s main argument surrounding these definitions of public history is that there are different forms of history with public history being the kind that the average person sees. Public historians can deeply impact their local communities and many collaborate with local community members on projects to ensure that the history they’re detailing is that of the community who is affected by it. The author does note that while many public history projects can be educational, the purpose might be more for an intellectual history like for a business’s archives. Public history projects could also be used to promote the local town or for the town’s own economic development.
Archeology: in my own words, it is the study of the past through the “things” that were left behind by those who came before us. I imagine everyone can agree there’s something fascinating about picking up an old knife or a pot of clay and wondering what life was like when that object was created. It seems as though it should be no surprise that countless people could easily believe legends of a lost city or of great giants ruling the earth long ago. Personally, I feel the true value comes from the knowledge gained when one sets out to learn the truth behind the myths. And over the course of the semester, I’ve learned a number of concepts I plan to apply to my future (as part of a professional community).
What is Senioritis? What causes Senioritis? Senioritis is a problem that affects most seniors after they have applied and been accepted to college. It not only affects the average senior, but the top of the class seniors as well. In the article Fighting senioritis By Eric Hoover, he states:
Collective memory is the cultural memory (? ) or the remembered history of a community: “Anyone who during today fixes his eyes on tomorrow must preserve yesterday from oblivion by grasping it through memory” (Assmann 2011: 17). Collective memory is the way groups form memories out of a shared past to create a common identity. The memory of a group is a construction, or reconstruction, of the past. Through the approach of collective memory we can distinguish a cultural sphere that combines tradition, awareness of history, myth in action, and self-definition. This cultural sphere is constantly subject to a vast range of historically conditioned changes (Assmann 2011: 10). Collective memory is the structures that underlie all myths and histories without any distinction between them. The past that is fixed and internalized is myth, whether it is fact or fiction (Assmann 2011: 59). Collective memory can be expressed through a variety of different medias, e.g. festivals, rituals, liturgy, symbols, flags, memorial places, museums, cultural artifacts, as well as oral and written narratives, like myths, prophecies, law material, biographies and perceived historical accounts (Van Seters 2012: 54). The memories are specifically designed to recall events in the history of the collective.
the key impacts on how staff and teams are organized are similar. The most important questioned to address may not be how are staff currently being reorganized in the wake of new technologies, but rather how should staff best be deployed to take full advantages of the potential available. Other than that, to manage electronic records, we need records manager who had skills and information on how to handle the tools to manage those records. Before these recent years, all the records are being managed in form of paper based, so it must be difficult for the records managers who are more familiar with records in paper based to become expert in managing electronic records. They need to be train well on how to manage the electronic records to make them expert on it. It must be take long time to trained the especially if the record managers or staff are older. In addition, consider differences among generations in technology usage during their respective formative, pre-working years, the technological skills and expectation they ultimately bring to the workplace and their influence on work practices and recordkeeping, in particular as their members reach senior professional and managerial positions. Today technological issues offer fewer insurmountable barriers to implementation of sound recordkeeping solutions than do organizational and cultural factors, while technological innovations plays large role in recordkeeping issues and opportunities to deal with them. Because of the lack of skill of the staff, the organization would execute and budgeting staff are accustomed to funding technology projects by trading labor as human for capital as the technology investments, when in fact the necessity to maintain some records in paper form requ...
These revisions to the law, gave essential updates necessary for the digital age. In place of paper records, these amendments mandated government agencies maintain electronic collections. This electronic collection of records likely reduced the strain on resources to maintain paper records and better maintain those records over the long-run in FOIA electronic libraries. In addition to mandating electronic conversion of records, it also permitted citizens to request the records in the format they desire.
The aim of this report is to theoretical cover data preservation, examination of digital evidence, tools and techniques for data capture, preservation and examination with a list of recommendations.
Abstracts: The aim of the study is how to make preservation and conservation of archival materials in the archives. Preservation and conversion in archives particularly preserves and conserve record, national heritage, manuscripts, microfilm and many more that relate to the archive. Besides that, by preserve and conserve, the archive materials will stay longer and to make as a reference in future. It is also want to organize the important records that have value to preserve, protect and also conserve the records that are available in Archives. In this term paper also conclude about the why should preserve and conserve the archival material in the archives which also discuss about the topic
This study focuses on the connection of Archeology with different forms of science and even statistics. Archeology has been the major component for many years when it comes to studying human activity and remains of the past and has been used in different areas around the world. There are also many different forms or types of archeology. An important form of archeology is archaeological science or also known as archaeometry. Archaeometry helps narrow down what time period something was created, died or how long it has been around. You are able to study and look back at human activity such as trade routes and diets. With these major proponents Archeologists are able to draw or paint a mental picture about how a certain area looked like. Obsidian sources, diets, deoxyribonucleic acid, dating techniques, residues, neutron activation analysis (NAA), and x-ray fluorescence (XRF) are all major areas that make up archeological science. Also, there are many different types of dating techniques that help in this process. With the dating techniques you can narrow down a time frame if not the actual date when a material was around. NAA and XRF help characterize different materials and residues assist with goods found such as wine and chocolate; obsidian sources give assistance to finding trade routes.

This essay, will explore the uses of art in the architectural design industry, and how it has evolved from ancient architecture into a mixture of old and new architectural buildings which are present in today's society. This topic is especially intriguing because architecture has been around for thousands of years— some of the earliest forms of architecture can be dated back to 10,200 BC during the Neolithic time period, where ingenuity and the formation of buildings began to develop. One example of the earliest forms of architecture are the ancient Egyptian pyramids during the time period of 2630 BC trough 2611 BC.
Digital library refers to an electronic library in which collections are stored in electronic media formats as opposed print, microform, or other media and accessible via computers. One of the biggest areas for hardware and software development outside the traditional ILS, digital content management for libraries present itself as the newest moving target in library automation. Sometimes as simple as scanning a document for electronic course reverse, or as complex as state-of-the-art digital management, access, and preservations, the digital library movement is probably the most perplexing and promising development for libraries since library automation began almost seven decades ago. Though this subject is worthy of its own textbook , but its ironically, the paper library on digital libraries is a growing one. The more humble the aim of this work is to put digital libraries in the context of library-vendor and library-dot-com relationships.
