"The Materiality of the Archive is the first volume to bring together a range of methodological approaches to the materiality of archives, as a framework for their engagement, analysis and interpretation. Focusing on the archives of creative practices, the book reaches between and across existing bodies of knowledge in this field, including material culture, art history and literary studies, unified by an interest in archives as material deposits and aggregations, in both analogue and digital forms, as well as the material encounter. Connecting a breadth of disciplinary interests in the archive with expanding discourses in materiality, contributors address the potential of a material engagement to animate archival content. Analysing the systems, processes and actions that constitute the shapes, forms and structures in which individual archival objects accumulate, and the underpinnings which may hold them in place as an archival body, the book considers ways in which the inexorable move to the digital affects traditional theories of the physical archival object. It also considers how stewardship practices such as description and metadata creation can accommodate these changes. The Materiality of the Archive unifies theory and practice and brings together professional and academic perspectives. The book is essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students working in the fields of archive studies, museology, art history and material culture"--

Since the early 20th century, American academic libraries have collected and championed rare and unique non-circulating materials now referred to as special collections. Because of the rarity and value of these materials, they are handled differently than materials in other parts of academic library collections. Thus, a different set of access policies and procedures, as well as specialized staff, have been employed.This book provides a thorough exploration of access, which is a cornerstone of the library profession. It looks at how practitioners' perceptions of access to special collections have changed from the formative period of the 1930s to today. Using a grounded theory approach on datasets comprised of LIS literature and interviews of special collections professionals with between 5 and 50 years of experience, two conceptual models developed.The two conceptual models are: Aspects of Access, which defines ten components that contribute to access goals: Diversity, Documentation, Engagement, Preservation, Protection, Provision, Readers, Spaces, Stewardship, and Technology. A historical overview sets the stage for in-depth discussion of each aspect. Gatekeeping Model of Access, which applies gatekeeping theory to chart how the Aspects of Access support or hinder the connection of readers to collection materials.An exploration of access through the lens of special collections is especially meaningful because of the tension between the principles of preservation and access within the special collections community. This project is also significant as the library profession explores how representation of diversity within collections and the profession impacts readers. Exploring how we think about access should be part of these ongoing conversations.

Geopolitics of Digital Heritage analyzes and discusses the political implications of the largest digital heritage aggregators across different scales of governance, from the city-state governed Singapore Memory Project, to a national aggregator like Australia's Trove, to supranational digital heritage platforms, such as Europeana, to the global heritage aggregator, Google Arts & Culture. These four dedicated case studies provide focused, exploratory sites for critical investigation of digital heritage aggregators from the perspective of their geopolitical motivations and interests, the economic and cultural agendas of involved stakeholders, as well as their foreign policy strategies and objectives. The Element employs an interdisciplinary approach and combines critical heritage studies with the study of digital politics and communications. Drawing from empirical case study analysis, it investigates how political imperatives manifest in the development of digital heritage platforms to serve different actors in a highly saturated global information space, ranging from national governments to transnational corporations.

Né le 15 juillet 1922 à Bordeaux, Yves Pérotin est sans doute un des archivistes français les plus connus et reconnus au niveau national et international, notamment pour sa formalisation de la théorie dite des trois âges des archives. Résistant, archiviste paléographe (prom. 1948), Yves Pérotin a exercé successivement, entre 1952 et 1981, les fonctions de directeur des archives départementales de Lot-et-Garonne, de La Réunion, de la Seine et du Var, avant de terminer sa carrière comme archiviste aux archives départementales des Pyrénées-Orientales. Son parcours l'a également conduit à exercer son métier dans des organisations internationales, telles les Nations unies, au sein des archives de la Société des nations, puis au Bureau international du travail et à l'Organisation mondiale de la santé. Il a également réalisé des missions pour l'UNESCO en Algérie, en Irak, au Maroc et au Pérou. Yves Pérotin (1922-1981). L'archiviste inimitable fait écho au récit rédigé par Yves Pérotin après-guerre à l'issue de son expérience de maquisard sur les maquis du Trièves et du Vercors auxquels il a appartenu et intitulé La vie inimitable (Presses universitaires de Grenoble, 2014). Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d'éclairer la carrière et la pensée d'Yves Pérotin, à travers une dizaine de contributions ainsi que l'édition ou la réédition de deux textes importants de cette figure marquante de l'archivistique française et internationale.
