Greetings all,
For those of you interested in the Journal of the Society of Archivists article, but would rather hold on to your $38.34, a pre-print is available on the Paradigm website at http://www.paradigm.ac.uk/projectdocs/papers/paradigm-preprint.pdf.
I look forward to next week's conversation!
Jeremy

> In preparation, you are invited to have a look at the Paradigm

> the futureArch project
> http://www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/beam/projects/futurearc; and the
> Journal of the Society of Archivists article for those of you

> This article is available as a paid download for non-members at:

I am again reminded about how lucky we are that back issues of Archivaria are available free of charge through ACA but I am afraid that the JSA is a different scenario. Thank you too to Yvette for her suggestion of the Paradigm Project video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew0wq0I4n90.

> À bientôt,

> > Good morning,

> > Please join us for a SISPA dialogue Nov. 16-20th on the topic
> of the Paradigm (Personal Archives Accessible in Digital Media)
> project. Paradigm is a joint project between the
> Universities of Oxford and Manchester to "explore the issues
> involved in preserving digital private papers through gaining
> practical experience in accessioning and ingesting digital
> private papers into digital repositories, and processing these
> in line with archival and digital preservation requirements"
> (Paradigm website http://www.paradigm.ac.uk/).
> > You are invited to review the contents of the paradigm.ac.uk
> in preparation for the dialogue and to consider questions or
> discussion topics which relate to personal archives creators and
> digital records. This dialogue stands to be a very
> interesting counterpart to our earlier dialogue with Cathy
> Marshall. How can we take the theoretical discussion we
> had about personal archives creators and their reactions to the
> world of the digital and work with them in a structured archival
> environment?>
> > Susan Thomas is a digital archivist at the Bodleian Library,
> where she is responsible for developing the Library's capacity
> to curate, preserve and provide access to born-digital archives.
> She currently leads the futureArch project, an Andrew W Mellon
> Foundation-sponsored initiative to develop and embed a
> sustainable approach to the curation of born-digital archives at
> the Library. Previous projects include PARADIGM (2005-7), which
> explored digital preservation issues relevant to manuscript
> collections and collecting using the papers of politicians as
> sample collections. Susan is also a member of the Data Standards
> Group Committee of the UK Society of Archivists, and an Honorary
> Lecturer at the Centre for Archive and Information Studies at
> the University of Dundee, where she co-tutors a distance
> learning module in the management and preservation of digital records.
> >
> > Susan makes two additional suggestions for readings:
> > With regard to reading, perhaps it may be worth taking a look
> at the futureArch project blog and some of the basic information
> the project at http://www.ouls.ox.ac.uk/beam/projects/futurearch
> >
> > If anyone wants to explore that further (beyond the website),
> they may like to read the article I wrote with Janette Martin
> back in 2005: Susan Thomas and Janette Martin, 'Using the papers
> of contemporary British politicians as a test bed for the
> preservation of digital personal archives,' Journal of the
> Society of Archivists, Vol. 27 No. 1, April 2006, pp 29-56.>

> > Next SISPA dialogue:
> >
> > Our next SISPA dialogue in the Spring will draw upon an
> earlier suggestion: Personal Diaries. It would be interesting to
> invite Michael Piggott to chat with us during that week.
> Any other suggestions you have for a guest for this dialogue
> would be appreciated. Certainly, diaries are widely
> studied in the domains of archives, literary studies and
> biographical research, and the topic may lend itself to the two
> guests format.
