scholars researching the topic in depth, or for inclusion in a reference library, especially due to the somewhat lofty price which would preclude readers prone to making a snap purchase. My mild criticism rests solely on the format rather than content or quality of information contained therein. Overall, Scragg’s text offers a comprehensive list which shows the scale of literacy in England during the period and would prove to be a very useful starting point for those studying manuscripts and palaeography. For Scragg to have returned to this book to update at the end of his career would surely mark it out as rather a labour of love, and for that, for those with more than a passing interest in the subject matter, it is worth a read. The book is simply dedicated to the author’s son, ‘For Tim.’

ABSTRACT Archiving in traditional villages has been carried out for nearly 20 years in China. The conventional practice is to establish registration records for the basic information and cultural heritage of traditional villages combined with collecting historical records. This research develops a digital archival model to strengthen traditional village conservation. The theoretical framework of this model arises from a case study of Gaoqian, a typical traditional Chinese village with 1000 years of history. Through field investigation and document analysis, Gaoqian’s experience is summarized into a paradigm of traditional village digital archival conservation. There are three modules in this paradigm: a digital archival resource system, a digital archival management system, and a digital archival service system adhering to the culture-centred principle. This model transforms the initial cultural resources to digital archival resources and then to digital cultural products through strict life-cycle management. The whole working process needs the cooperation and participation of multiple subjects. The case of Gaoqian demonstrates that traditional village digital archival conservation is simultaneously universal and scene-oriented, which can provide replicable solutions for traditional villages or rural landscape conservation in other regions during ongoing world urbanization, with the appropriate archival perspective and methods.

place in the establishment and development of social, informational, technological, and economic systems of societies and explains the function of blockchain technology utilized in records management to increase the cognitive and epistemological qualities of trust in these records. Lemieux reflects on the aspects of this technology that are to be improved, such as consensus mechanisms, standardization, interoperability, and the need to legitimize the records created in different blockchain networks. With this in place, she says, we will have records that can be presented as cogent evidence that can be used in the battle against disinformation. Lemieux has succeeded in her authorial aims, and archivists, records managers and IT experts working on developing blockchain-based recordkeeping systems would benefit from reading this well-written book. Readers do not require much IT literacy to understand it, except for Part I. Lemieux answers the question of how useful blockchain is for records management. She argues that we can increase the cognitive, social and epistemological qualities of trust by utilizing blockchain. In discussing this, it becomes apparent that the role of blockchain technology in ensuring trust is more than a technological issue; it is about humans. Lemieux’s book is an essential reference for those interested in the subject.

ABSTRACT Archivists participated in a survey to help provide insight around privacy and practice. The practitioners’ responses are bespeckled with varying levels of real-worklife experience with sensitive, private, and vulnerable archival information. The survey included some demographic questions as well as hypothetical scenarios, which prompted respondents to think about how they would respond in their professional capacities if these analogue, reformatted, or born-digital documents were under their stewardship, and invited respondents to share their own professional anecdotes of privacy practices. The survey and adjoining paper attempt to address two research questions, namely that around archivists’ decision-making in privacy issues in digitized collections, and if institutional policy informs practice. Responses indicate a variability in privacy practices specifically and in the concept of privacy broadly within the American organizations represented. Most archivists surveyed indicate they address privacy as a regular part of their practice, though we found very few had guiding practices or policies. Absence of targeted policy around privacy decision-making is prevalent in archives in the respondents’ institutions. Discussion around survey results is shared to serve as a springboard for informing policy-driven privacy practice, including recommendations for future research and some suggested resources.

Over the twentieth century there were three moments of broad consensus around appraisal. The first, associated with Hilary Jenkinson, would leave appraisal up to record creators so that the archives would best reflect the values and intentions of record creators. “Confronting Jenkinson’s Canon” demonstrates shortcomings of this approach, citing the destruction of sensitive records at the Armaments Corporation of South Africa, a public entity, ‘as a cover up for corrupt activities’ (p. 170). The second, associated with Theodore Schellenberg, had archivist-historians performing appraisal with the intention of creating archives to support research by historians. At the end of the century a third consensus emerged, associated with Hans Booms, Helen Samuels and Terry Cook, that would have archivists perform appraisal on behalf of society, with Cook’s macroappraisal and Samuels’ institutional functional analysis both relying on archival functionalism to classify records prior to their being ranked for acquisition, based on the perceived importance of each function. Archival functionalism, which prioritizes the mandate, functions and activities of an agency, institution or corporation whose records are being appraised, is a clear source of institutional bias in archives. Organizations undertake activities to perform functions; the functions themselves are determined by the mandate of the organization. In a government agency, that mandate will include the need to serve the government, which is presumed to reflect the will of society. Cook believed that ‘the structures of the state . . . reflect the collective functions of society,’ and agreed with Booms that ‘If there is indeed anything or anyone qualified to lend legitimacy to archival appraisal, it is society itself.’ Apartheid and its terrible legacies warn against conflating the structures and functions of government with the will of society, as South Africa’s white minority used the powers of government to oppress the lack majority. Canada’s settler-colonial government offers a different warning. In Canada, settlers used the structures and functions of government to oppress Indigenous peoples, turning them into a minority through disease, assault, assimilation and aggressive immigration and settlement. Through the functions and structures of government, settlers seized Indigenous lands and violated the human, civil

Archivists benefit from periodic self-critique of the tenets of our theory and practice. Broad societal movements such as postmodernism, technological advancements, and political or legal factors prompt us to reexamine our convictions and our position in society. Openness to reviewing our principles is necessary for professional growth and indicative of a healthy profession. “Authenticity” confronts our understanding of the integrity and identity of archival records. The concept that a record is authentic when it is what it purports to be is presented as a part of the professional canon. Furthermore, the criteria for assessing authenticity are described as different canons ‘depending on the context in which the authenticity is addressed.’ ‘Canon’ is an interesting word choice, one that I have not encountered in my work as an archivist nor in the professional literature. “Authenticity” defines canon as ‘a body of principles, rules, standards, or norms’ for a discipline or profession. Archivists find collective aspiration and purpose in values statements and codes of ethics. Archival practice is guided by standards and best practices that have been forged through experience. Where does ‘canon’ fit among these existing authorities? Within the confines of authenticity, there are indeed rules and standards – or canons – for verifying authenticity that differ within jurisprudence, diplomatics, and archival science contexts. But canon as a ‘body of principles’ implies a larger entity of which authenticity itself would be a part. Indeed, authenticity is an explicit component of the Society of American Archivists’ Code of Ethics for Archivists, which according to SAA serves ‘as principles of the profession.’ I am unaware of any source claiming to be the authoritative canon of the archival profession. Principles, standards, codes, and canon might simply be interchangeable words describing the macro aspirations that unify the profession, and the micro-level rules that enable our practice within specific domains like authenticity. Although ‘canon’ possesses connotations of immutability, the author examines the approaches for determining the intrinsic and extrinsic properties of authentic records in different contexts over time, covering: legal traditions, 17 century diplomatics, Jenkinsonian theory, and InterPARES and other initiatives grappling with electronic records. Despite the complexities of preserving authentic electronic records, and factors introduced by electronic records laws, the presented canon is deemed ‘probably the most

ABSTRACT This paper aims to critically reflect on Jenkinson’s archival appraisal methods and concepts and whether they may still influence practice within the Canadian archival context and, if so, is that influence reconcilable within the evolving archival landscape? The Manual provided a concrete set of guidelines created in a particular time period, within a specific societal context, under specific circumstances that no longer reflect postcolonial realities and decolonization efforts. The 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and the subsequent response work by the Steering Committee on Canada’s Archives indicate that the profession is necessarily evolving with the aim of an inclusive, community-based approach to archival appraisal and practice. A contributing element to these changes to praxis must be a confrontation of all colonial and settler archival theory, such as Jenkinson’s writing, that is often presented as foundational within archival education, and as a mainstay in our professional mythology.
