Terry Cook was among the most profound, creative, and influential thinkers in the history of the archival profession. His articles and papers have shaped some of the most important work of a generation of archivists and historians relating to archives in the broadest sense of the term. It was, then, natural that at the time of his tragic and premature death from cancer in 2014 that there was talk of a volume dedicated to his work and memory. Tom Nesmith, Greg Bak, and Joan M. Schwartz, all close colleagues in the world of Canadian archives, took up the task and have produced a very impressive book. “All Shook Up” is a wonderful title that is to be read in different ways. Cook, a man of widely varied interests, was a great admirer of the music of Elvis Presley. Possessed with a gregarious yet disciplined mind, he drew on a vast range of interests to formulate his ideas. And those ideas did indeed shake up the archival profession. His work pushed archivists to think in new ways; pushed archival institutions to consider new directions and self-assessments; and pulled the larger academic world toward a greater appreciation of the complexity of archival work and records generation. “All Shook Up” differs from the usual festschrift. Rather than a collection of unrelated articles authored in honor of Terry Cook, the editors have identified thirteen of the most important articles written by Cook himself and asked his former colleagues to introduce specific articles in a way that is both personal and academic. The result is really two volumes in one. The first “volume” consists of the varied introductions that form a wonderful set of recollections and, at the same time, establish the importance and context of the particular article. I was struck by Barbara L. Craig’s penetrating analysis of Cook’s instructive article “Paper Trails: A Study in Northern Records and Northern Administration, 1898–1958.” This article was instrumental in informing her own work on the role of records and records administration in British government. Craig emphasizes the importance of Cook’s article in demonstrating the dynamic administrative environments that foster the generation of records and the consequent need for broad contextual knowledge. What goes on in the office is the essential question. How archivists then capture that context for those who research the records is an essential element to the dynamics of the archival research process. Eric Ketelaar introduces Cook’s Reviews
特里·库克是档案行业历史上最深刻、最具创造力和影响力的思想家之一。他的文章和论文塑造了一代档案学家和历史学家最重要的工作,这些工作与最广泛意义上的档案有关。因此,在他2014年因癌症不幸早逝的时候,人们很自然地谈到了一本专门讲述他的工作和记忆的书。Tom nessmith, Greg Bak和Joan M. Schwartz是加拿大档案界的亲密同事,他们承担了这项任务,并出版了一本非常令人印象深刻的书。《所有的震撼》是一个很棒的标题,可以用不同的方式来阅读。库克是一个兴趣广泛的人,他是埃尔维斯·普雷斯利音乐的忠实崇拜者。他有一个善于交际而又自律的头脑,他利用广泛的兴趣来形成他的想法。这些想法确实撼动了档案行业。他的工作促使档案工作者以新的方式思考;推动档案机构考虑新的方向和自我评估;并使更大的学术界对档案工作和记录生成的复杂性有了更深刻的认识。《惊魂未定》不同于通常的节日节目片。这本书并不是为了纪念特里·库克而写的一系列无关的文章,编辑们挑选了库克本人写的13篇最重要的文章,并请他的前同事们以一种既个人又学术的方式介绍具体的文章。结果是两卷合二为一。第一“卷”包括各种各样的介绍,形成了一套精彩的回忆,同时,建立了特定文章的重要性和背景。我被芭芭拉·l·克雷格(Barbara L. Craig)对库克那篇颇有启发意义的文章《纸迹:北方记录和北方行政研究,1898-1958》的精辟分析打动了。这篇文章对她自己关于记录和记录管理在英国政府中的作用的工作有帮助。Craig强调了Cook文章的重要性,它展示了动态的管理环境促进了记录的生成,以及随之而来的对广泛背景知识的需求。办公室里发生的事是关键问题。档案保管员如何为那些研究这些记录的人捕捉到这些背景,是档案研究过程中动态的一个基本要素。Eric Ketelaar介绍库克的评论

“Dusting Off that Old Projector: Preservation through Projection” makes the case that institutions that hold film prints and projectors—especially rarities, one-offs, and nonstandard gauges—should consider projecting films in an effort to preserve and perpetuate knowledge about the history of film technology. The authors use the success of Home Movie Day as a model for considering preservation through projection and to question absolutist protective strategies. Their aim is to expand the way that archivists, scholars, and the general public think about the significance of unusual film formats and equipment in relation to film history.

This article describes a collections survey project undertaken by the staff of the University Libraries' Special Collections and University Archives Department at the University of Nevada, Reno, to begin the archives' alignment with the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials. The method devised to survey the collection is assessed for its validity and potential application to further survey work. The analysis of the Protocols alignment survey as a case study also offers insights about critical self-reflection and ways for non-Indigenous archivists to strive toward social justice and Protocols alignment using existing discovery and description frameworks as a starting point.
