Bob Sharman died peacefully in Hobart on 28 August 2018, just short of 90 years old. Providing an account of his life and achievements is, for us, a sad and important task. We knew him as a friend and professional colleague. As well, one of us shared his strong interest in Tasmanian history and the challenges of leading an archival organisation, while the other was one of his students when he lectured at the Canberra College of Advanced Education in 1971 and was on the ASA Council in the early 1990s when he was its Treasurer. What follows is confined to his career and contributions primarily as an archivist. Some mention of his many connections to the library world will also be made although this inevitably leaves out many other areas. Pre-eminent among them was his foundational and lifelong membership of the Tasmanian Historical Research Association (THRA). He was an early invitee to give its prestigious Eldershaw Lecture, joining a who’s who of leading Australian historians. Fittingly, his last published work was a 60th anniversary history of the Association published in its Papers and Proceedings in December 2011; the following year he was made its Patron. Bob’s family, religious and private life are also not our concern here, but some brief mention needs to be made of two aspects of his personal life to which he refers in his Bob Sharman, credit Tim Robinson ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPTS 2018, VOL. 46, NO. 3, 354–362 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2019.1569579

In February 2018, Archives & Manuscripts invited submissions for a special theme issue dedicated to research and writing from emerging scholars and new professionals. The call was broad, and the response was inspiring. We, the guest editors, Lise Summers, Laura Millar and Donald Force, are pleased and proud to see the fascinating and diverse articles published in this issue, which offer a small window into the high-quality scholarship underway right now by the next generation of recordkeeping and archives professionals around the world. The guest editors, all records and archives educators at one time or another in Australia, Canada and the United States, wanted to provide a forum for ‘emerging scholars’: new professionals who may have written essays or dissertations but perhaps never before published in a professional journal. To support the newest of the new, we set clear boundaries around the concept of ‘emerging scholar’. We welcomed submissions from undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate students, or recent graduates from archives, records, or information studies programs within Australia or around the world. Our definition of ‘recent’ was tight: the graduate should have completed study within the previous two years, with a similar constraint on time in the profession, either as a practitioner or educator. The topics available to consider were virtually limitless, though: authors were encouraged to write on any and all aspects of records, archives, and information concepts, theories and principles; from historical studies to digital preservation analyses; to discussions of theory and case studies from research initiatives. Even though we focused our target population precisely – current students, recent graduates and ‘new’ scholars, not long-time practitioners – we were thrilled to receive 73 submissions from every corner of the world: from Australia to Canada, the United States, Africa, Europe, Indonesia and beyond. The proposals were fascinating. The challenge of developing a shortlist was daunting. So many of the papers had resonances with the challenges facing archives and recordkeepers in today’s political climate, not just in Australia but internationally. As we worked through the adjudication process, we kept our focus clearly on emerging scholars. Some authors were more seasoned professionals who did not quite fit the ‘emerging scholars’ definition; we have encouraged them to consider submitting their proposals for another issue of Archives & Manuscripts. Some authors were undertaking very complex research, often dependent on case study research, computer analysis and other tasks that no one could guarantee would be finished in quick order. When we felt the author might not be able to complete their analysis within the time frame for the special issue, we urged them to submit to the journal again when their projects were finished. We hope they do! Other proposals, while fascinating, focused on a limited regional area or institutiona
2018年2月，《档案与手稿》杂志邀请新兴学者和新专业人士为研究和写作撰写专题刊物。这个呼吁很广泛，反响也很鼓舞人心。我们，客座编辑Lise Summers, Laura Millar和Donald Force，很高兴和自豪地看到这期杂志上发表的迷人而多样的文章，这些文章为我们提供了一个小窗口，让我们了解世界各地下一代记录保存和档案专业人士正在进行的高质量学术研究。特邀编辑都是澳大利亚、加拿大和美国的记录和档案教育工作者，他们希望为“新兴学者”提供一个论坛:新专业人士可能写过论文或论文，但可能从未在专业期刊上发表过。为了支持最新的新学者，我们围绕“新兴学者”的概念设定了明确的界限。我们欢迎来自澳大利亚或世界各地的档案、记录或信息研究项目的本科生、研究生或研究生或应届毕业生提交。我们对“近期”的定义很严格:毕业生应该在过去两年内完成学业，无论是作为从业者还是作为教育工作者，都有类似的时间限制。然而，可供考虑的主题实际上是无限的:鼓励作者就记录、档案和信息概念、理论和原则的任何和所有方面进行写作;从历史研究到数字保存分析;讨论来自研究项目的理论和案例研究。尽管我们的目标人群很精确——在校学生、应届毕业生和“新”学者，而不是长期从业人员——但我们还是很高兴地收到了来自世界各地的73份申请:从澳大利亚到加拿大、美国、非洲、欧洲、印度尼西亚等。这些建议很吸引人。制定一个候选名单的挑战是艰巨的。许多文件都与当今政治气候下档案和记录管理员面临的挑战产生了共鸣，不仅在澳大利亚，而且在国际上。在评审过程中，我们一直把重点放在新兴学者身上。一些作者是经验丰富的专业人士，不太符合“新兴学者”的定义;我们鼓励他们考虑向另一期的《档案与手稿》提交他们的提案。一些作者正在进行非常复杂的研究，通常依赖于案例研究、计算机分析和其他没有人能保证能快速完成的任务。当我们觉得作者可能无法在特刊的时间框架内完成分析时，我们会敦促他们在项目完成后再次投稿。我们希望他们能做到!其他的建议虽然很吸引人，但都集中在有限的区域或制度问题上。我们认为研究的范围需要是ARCHIVES AND manuscript 2018, VOL. 46, NO. 5。3,251 - 254 https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2019.1563467

ABSTRACT The 2004 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that investigated human rights abuses in Morocco under King Hassan II cited the ‘deplorable state of national archives’ as a major obstacle to its work. In 2013, in accordance with the findings of the TRC, the National Archives of Morocco opened with a colonial fonds, primarily holding records from the period of French colonisation (1912–56). This article seeks to understand the late establishment of a national archives, positing that part of the delay was caused by the focus of Moroccan nationalists on the location of indigenous records and their rejection of colonial archives and historiography.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article was to investigate whether public archives in South Africa’s educational programs serve as an interactive tool for public engagement. The study adopted a quantitative research approach involving all 10 public archival institutions in South Africa. Data was collected using survey questionnaires, analysis of the legislation on archives, and the national Department of Arts and Culture (DAC) and relevant provincial departments’ annual reports from the 2012–13 to 2014–15 financial years according to the relevant themes of the study. In South Africa, public archival institutions fall under and report to the DAC. The purpose of data triangulation was to collect as much, and as diverse, data as possible to help generate the best possible insight. The study revealed that the public archives’ educational activities were not effectively designed and implemented to bring potential users to archives. The study recommends that public archives engage with educators and curriculum developers to support the South African Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS). This will enable archivists and public archival institutions to identify and incorporate developmental and topically relevant archival material into CAPS for use by educators and learners in a classroom environment.

In August 2016, a piece of graffiti appeared on the wall of the University of Melbourne Archives repository saying ‘Selected Archive Lies’. That it appeared on the day after I had talked to a large class of third-year history students seemed more than coincidental. After reading Michelle Caswell’s observation that historical scholars rarely understand the intellectual work of archivists, I had talked to the students on the themes of their course, weaving in archival ideas and mentioning appraisal and selection.1 Although I finished by explaining how to find material in our catalogue, it seems the idea of selection struck more of a chord and, I assume, resulted in the graffiti – much to the amusement of my colleagues. Nevertheless, I understand where the shaky graffiti protester was coming from. In recent strands of historical and archival discourse influenced by postmodernism, archives stand for the place where the powerful subvert the cultural narrative to exclude the powerless: the place where what is selected – lies. In Alana Kumbier’s book on queering the archive she says:

Abstract The revised International Standard ISO 15489:2016 Part 1: Principles and Concepts establishes a framework and a set of techniques with which today’s recordkeeping professionals can implement appropriate and digital-ready strategies for recordkeeping. Moving away from conventions that remained tied to the paper world, the Standard establishes a set of principles to guide any approach, regardless of technologies and formats, and explains the fundamentally important work of appraisal. It also describes the essential elements of controls for records, to assist with access, retention and more. In this reflection, the author describes the genesis of the revised standard and argues that, unless recordkeeping professionals embrace the contingent and fluid nature of their work, and adhere to principles such as those described in the Standard, they will not produce solutions to accountability, access and memory challenges that meet the needs of the connected world.
