摘要

《地图与地理图书馆杂志》这期特刊文章的共同主题是“出处”。虽然地图图书馆界的一些人可能认为这是一个档案术语,因此与之无关,但我们编辑罗纳德·格里姆和瑞安·摩尔,他们的职业生涯始于档案环境,后来在美国国会图书馆地理与地图处工作,尽管在不同的时间,提出出处对地图馆员非常有用。忘记了与假设相关的风险,我们通过美国档案学家协会的方式定义了“来源是一个基本原则,指的是创造或接收藏品的个人、家庭或组织。来源原则或对基金会的尊重要求不同来源的记录应分开保存,以保存其背景。”。“当然,档案管理员检查信息组并保持共同线索的完整性是有意义的,从而突出整体的目的,对组成部分进行不同程度的描述。然而,我们认为地图管理员在适用的情况下采用这种方法来增强描述是值得的。换句话说,一个制图项目的总体历史和目的描述得越好,一个项目或一组项目就越有研究价值。例如,合著者Moore指出,美国国会图书馆地理和地图处如何对一套大不列颠地图进行编目,并将其概括为德国总参谋部对1941年大不列颠的描绘。经过审查,确定这些地图实际上是德国跨海峡入侵军事可行性研究的一部分!摩尔与杰出的编目员查尔斯·彼得森分享了这一信息,他现在已经退休,读德语和摩尔一样。彼得森随后开发了一个包含出处的更丰富的记录。出于类似的目的,这本特别版的五篇文章由北美和欧洲的地图管理员撰写,探讨了出处的作用。所有人都讨论了图书馆环境中的地图或图集收藏,重点是特定制图材料的起源,研究了诸如谁创造或首先拥有这些材料、如何使用或消费这些材料以及图书馆如何获得这些材料等问题。文章中提到了对地图进行编目和数字化的建议,此外,在这些记录中还包括有关出处的信息。我们从合著者格林的一篇文章开始探索出处,该文章认为,无论是收购邮票、手写笔记还是收购文件,都不应忽视任何线索。他研究了波士顿公共图书馆在19世纪后半叶和20世纪初获得的一小部分但不同寻常的注释地图集。这些注释和改动,以及已发表的收购报告和家谱记录,证明了https://doi.org/10.1080/15420353.2021.1926848

Editorial
The common theme for the articles in this special issue of the Journal of Map and Geography Libraries is “provenance.” While some in map librarianship may consider this an archival term and thusly not germane, we the editors, Ronald Grim and Ryan Moore, who started our careers in archival settings and moved on to work for the Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division, though at separate times, propose that provenance is very useful for map librarians. Forgoing the risks associated with assumptions, we define the term, by way of the Society of American Archivists, “provenance is a fundamental principal, referring to the individual, family, or organization that created or received the items in a collection. The principle of provenance or the respect des fonds dictates that records of different origins be kept separate to preserve their context.” Of course, it makes sense for archivists to examine groups of information and to keep common threads intact, thereby highlighting the purpose of the whole, with varying levels of description for the constituent parts. However, we think it is worthwhile for map librarians to adopt this approach, where applicable, to enhance description. In other words, the better a cartographic item’s total history and purpose are described, the more valuable an item or a group of items is for research. Case in point, coeditor Moore notes how the Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division cataloged a set of maps of Great Britain, generically describing them as depictions of Great Britain in 1941 by the German General Staff. Upon examination, it was determined that these maps were, in fact, part of a German military feasibility study for a cross-channel invasion! Moore shared this information with cataloger extraordinaire, Charles Peterson, now retired, who reads German like Moore. Peterson then developed a richer record that incorporated provenance. To similar ends, this special edition’s five articles, written by map librarians in North America and Europe, explore the role of provenance. All discuss map or atlas collections within library settings with a focus on the origins of specific cartographic materials, examining such concerns as who created or first owned them, how they were used or consumed, and how they were acquired by the library.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
