Download or read book Archival Basics written by Charlie Arp and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archival Basics for Historic Record Collections is an introduction to the concepts, policies, infrastructure and tasks needed to collect, preserve and make archival collections available to researchers. The book is based on content presented in workshops by the Council of State Archivists and presented in an on-line course by the American Association of State and Local History since 2003. Arp focuses on the discreet tasks necessary to manage archival collections. This is a practical, how-to book on managing archival collections designed for those who have responsibility for such collections but lack formal archival training. The book begins by defining historic records, archival collections and the differences between archives, libraries and museums while identifying the steps needed to manage archival collections. It then looks at collecting archival items including creating a collections policy, documenting the acquisition of archival items and the steps needed to bring those items into an archives. It discusses arranging, preserving and describing archival collections so researchers can find the information they seek. Next, it goes over what is needed to store, protect, and make archival collections available to researchers. The last chapters contemplates the policies, skills and infrastructure needed to successfully manage digital records and looks at creating digital copies of analog records to promote their use. The book provides templates, questionnaires and examples to enable the reader to create customized archival policies and procedures that accommodate the particular circumstances they find themselves in. The book also contains exercises and quizzes designed to reinforce the retention and understanding of critical concepts. In addition to examples it has lists of additional resources so those who want more detailed information on particular topics can find it. This book is not the only reference book needed by those doing archival work, but it should be the first book they need.
Download or read book Clifton Park written by John L. Scherer and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1996-11-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel through more than a century's worth of images and memories of Clifton Park, New York. Vivid and entrancing, the images of Clifton Park contained within this volume span more than a century of memories. Residents of the area, both natives and newcomers, will find a strong connection with the faces and places presented. Rare photographs of Clifton Park, many never before published, provide a glimpse of life from 1875 to 1950. We experience the area's gradual transition, from its agricultural roots through the era of the Erie Canal and the railroads to the early years of the automobile. Through pictures of local industries, shaded dirt roads, homes, and amusement parks, we learn how early Clifton Park residents worked and played. The book also features views of local taverns, general stores, churches, and schools--all the foundations of a changing, strong, and growing community.
Book Synopsis The Learned Blacksmith - The Letters and Journals of Elihu Burritt by : Merle Curti
Download or read book The Learned Blacksmith - The Letters and Journals of Elihu Burritt written by Merle Curti and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This antique book contains a collection of letters and journal entries, from Elihu Burritt. Elihu Burritt was a poor boy. Like other boys a hundred years ago, he gloried in the idea of self-improvement, and like many of his contemporaries he became a self-made man. But it was not worldly riches that he made. His lifelong ideal was to serve man kind, to promote human brotherhood, and he was never tempted to take another path. Unlike most Americans, he had no ambition to rise above the working class from which he came. This fascinating text will appeal to those with an interest in the early twentieth century, and will be of considerable value to collectors of such literature. The chapters of this book include: 'A Self-Made Man', 'The Crusade for World Peace', 'The Campaign for Ocean Penny Postage', 'Slavery and Civil War', and 'Assisted Emigration and Arbitration'. This volume was first published in 1937, and is proudly republished now for the enjoyment and edification of discerning readers.

Book excerpt: Below the surface of bustling National City lies the story of olive and citrus orchards, grand Victorian homes, great wealth, and the coming of the first railroad. Founded in 1868 by Frank Kimball, National City is credited with multiple distinguished firsts. On the county level, the San Diego County Fair originated here, the first novel published was by a National City pioneer, the first free kindergarten opened here, the first automobile was built here, and the first railroad terminus was located here. On the state level, the first woman to serve as an elected member of a school board lived in National City. Today the city is home to 61,000 residents; and as an accessible and diverse community, all eyes now look upon National City as it begins to experience a renaissance of growth and commerce.

Book Synopsis Endangered Alphabets by : Tim Brookes
Download or read book Endangered Alphabets written by Tim Brookes and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The world has more than 6,000 languages, but those languages are written in fewer than 100 alphabets--more than a third of which are endangered. Oddly gnarly or staggeringly beautiful, all of them embody the history and intellectual achievements of their cultures. Some are now used only in ceremonial documents, some in magic spells, some in secret love letters. In this groundbreaking project, author Tim Brookes has carved thirteen of these endangered alphabets into stunning boards of Vermont maple, using as his text Article One of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.' This book is both the catalogue for that exhibition and an essay on writing from a unique perspective--that of a writer who is discovering new forms of writing by carving them before they vanish."--cover, p.4
