Despite the importance of archives to the profession of history, there is very little written about actual encounters with them—about the effect that the researcher’s race, gender, or class may have on her experience within them or about the impact that archival surveillance, architecture, or bureaucracy might have on the histories that are ultimately written. This provocative collection initiates a vital conversation about how archives around the world are constructed, policed, manipulated, and experienced. It challenges the claims to objectivity associated with the traditional archive by telling stories that illuminate its power to shape the narratives that are “found” there. Archive Stories brings together ethnographies of the archival world, most of which are written by historians. Some contributors recount their own experiences. One offers a moving reflection on how the relative wealth and prestige of Western researchers can gain them entry to collections such as Uzbekistan’s newly formed Central State Archive, which severely limits the access of Uzbek researchers. Others explore the genealogies of specific archives, from one of the most influential archival institutions in the modern West, the Archives nationales in Paris, to the significant archives of the Bakunin family in Russia, which were saved largely through the efforts of one family member. Still others explore the impact of current events on the analysis of particular archives. A contributor tells of researching the 1976 Soweto riots in the politically charged atmosphere of the early 1990s, just as apartheid in South Africa was coming to an end. A number of the essays question what counts as an archive—and what counts as history—as they consider oral histories, cyberspace, fiction, and plans for streets and buildings that were never built, for histories that never materialized.

An examination of how nonprofessional archivists, especially media fans, practice cultural preservation on the Internet and how “digital cultural memory” differs radically from print-era archiving. The task of archiving was once entrusted only to museums, libraries, and other institutions that acted as repositories of culture in material form. But with the rise of digital networked media, a multitude of self-designated archivists—fans, pirates, hackers—have become practitioners of cultural preservation on the Internet. These nonprofessional archivists have democratized cultural memory, building freely accessible online archives of whatever content they consider suitable for digital preservation. In Rogue Archives, Abigail De Kosnik examines the practice of archiving in the transition from print to digital media, looking in particular at Internet fan fiction archives. De Kosnik explains that media users today regard all of mass culture as an archive, from which they can redeploy content for their own creations. Hence, “remix culture” and fan fiction are core genres of digital cultural production. De Kosnik explores, among other things, the anticanonical archiving styles of Internet preservationists; the volunteer labor of online archiving; how fan archives serve women and queer users as cultural resources; archivists' efforts to attract racially and sexually diverse content; and how digital archives adhere to the logics of performance more than the logics of print. She also considers the similarities and differences among free culture, free software, and fan communities, and uses digital humanities tools to quantify and visualize the size, user base, and rate of growth of several online fan archives.

Given recent global crises, the imperative to preserve and analyze online content has never been more vital to enhancing our comprehension of contemporary changes. This book, the outcome of the 5th international RESAW conference that convened experts from fifty disciplines across seventeen countries in Marseille in June 2023, tackles the multifaceted challenges of web archiving. It underscores the dual roles of web archiving, as cultural heritage and as essential source material for researchers delving into contemporary events and the evolution of digital culture. Through twenty chapters, it explores the development of web archiving and examines how technical, cultural, geopolitical, societal, and environmental shifts impact its conception, study, and dissemination.

""Cultural Archives"" explores how civilizations document their existence, profoundly shaping our understanding of past societies. It examines diverse methods of heritage preservation, highlighting elements cultures deemed worthy of recording and the impact of these historical records on modern society. The book argues that a collective analysis of deliberate and inadvertent records provides a more accurate view of a culture's values than any single narrative. For example, ancient Egypt's meticulous record-keeping, from hieroglyphic inscriptions to elaborate burial rituals, offers invaluable insights into their religious beliefs and social hierarchy. The book journeys across continents and millennia, beginning with ancient civilizations and progressing to the digital age. It unfolds in three sections: introducing the concept of cultural archives, examining case studies from various cultures like the Roman Empire and pre-Columbian America, and analyzing how these historical records shape our understanding of those societies today. By drawing on archaeological findings, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies, ""Cultural Archives"" emphasizes the value of cultural documentation in preserving collective memory and promoting cross-cultural understanding, making it vital for anyone interested in history world.

Archive Finds explores the hidden potential within historical and scientific archives, revealing how forgotten data, misinterpreted documents, and overlooked inventions can reshape our present understanding. It highlights the importance of archival research in uncovering solutions to contemporary problems, demonstrating that past efforts, even those deemed failures, can hold vital clues for current research. One intriguing fact is the recovery of lost meteorological data, which is now extending our climate modeling capabilities, offering new insights into climate change. The book presents its information through case studies, examining specific examples of archival rediscovery across various fields. It contextualizes these discoveries by providing background on the historical frameworks in which the archival materials were originally created. The book progresses by first introducing the concept of archival rediscovery and then exploring specific case studies, such as the reinterpretation of ancient medical texts that are inspiring new approaches to pharmacology. By bridging history with climatology, medicine, and engineering, Archive Finds demonstrates the far-reaching implications of interdisciplinary archival research.

This volume provides an up-to-date survey of the field of corpus linguistics, a field whose methodology has revolutionized much of the empirical work done in most fields of linguistic study over the past decade. Corpus linguistics investigates human language by starting out from large collections of texts - spoken, written, or recorded. These language corpora, which are now regularly available in electronic form, are the basis for quantitative and qualitative research on almost any question of linguistic interest. Many techniques that are in use in corpus linguistics today are rooted in the tradition of the late 18th and 19th century, when linguistics began to make use of mathematical and empirical methods. Modern corpus linguistics has used and developed these methods in close connection with computer science and computational linguistics. The handbook sketches the history of corpus linguistics, shows its potential, discusses its problems, and describes various methods of collecting, annotating, and searching corpora as well as processing corpus data. It also reports case studies that illustrate the wide range of linguistic research questions addressed in corpus linguistics. The over 60 articles included in the handbook are divided into five sections: (1) the origins and history of corpus linguistics and surveys of its relationship to central fields of linguistics (2) corpus compilation (3) corpus types (4) preprocessing of corpora (5) the use and exploitation of corpora. The final section gives an overview of the results of corpus studies obtained in phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, stylometry, dialectology, and discourse analysis. It also reports on recent advances made in human and machine translation, contrastive studies, computer-assisted language learning, and automatic summarization. The contributors to the volume are internationally known experts in their respective fields. The handbook is intended for a wide audience ranging from teachers, university students, and scholars to anyone interested in the use of computers in linguistic analyses and applications.

Like its constituent agencies and other organizations, the federal government generates and increasingly saves a large and growing fraction of its records in electronic form. Recognizing the greater and greater importance of these electronic records for its mission of preserving "essential evidence," the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) launched a major new initiative, the Electronic Records Archives (ERA). NARA plans to commence the initial procurement for a production-quality ERA in 2003 and has started a process of defining the desired capabilities and requirements for the system. As part of its preparations for an initial ERA procurement, NARA asked the National Academies' Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) to provide independent technical advice on the design of an electronic records archive, including an assessment of how work sponsored by NARA at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) helps inform the ERA design and what key issues should be considered in ERA's design and operation.Building an Electronic Records Archie at the National Archives and Records Administration provides preliminary feedback to NARA on lessons it should take from the SDSC work and identifies key ERA design issues that should be addressed as the ERA procurement process proceeds in 2003.
