“…This is evident in the corpus of archival documents pertaining to personal archiving: most relevant documents included some piece related to appraisal (Anthony, 2003;Cox, 1996;Craig, 2001;Herrada, 2003;Hobbs, 2001;Hyry et al, 2002;Laver, 2003;McKemmish, 1996;Momryk, 2001;Southcott et al, 1996;Thomas and Martin, 2006;Williams et al, 2008). Most institutional archives address appraisal in some way in their collecting policies.…”

PurposeThe topic of personal archives has mainly been discussed by two research traditions in information science: archives and records management, and personal information management. The purpose of this paper is to compare a corpus of the archival literature written by the archival community with the concepts and challenges posed by Catherine Marshall, who exemplifies the personal information management approach. Many of the personal digital archiving challenges that Marshall identifies are related to discussions within the archival community.Design/methodology/approachIn order to demonstrate the similarities between Marshall's work with the archival discussion about personal archiving, Marshall's challenges, tasks and attributes of personal digital archiving were compared with a total of 33 articles from two library and information science databases.FindingsMany of the personal digital archiving challenges that Marshall identifies are related to discussions in the archival community. The author suggests that certain aspects of the archival literature may be utilized to address Marshall's identified challenges. Lastly, future collaborations between members of the archival community and members of the personal information management community may prove useful in addressing the challenges of personal digital archivingOriginality/valueThe paper demonstrates that two areas of information science share ideas about how to address the issues related to personal archives, but rarely consult one another when writing about personal digital archiving. The author highlights the archives and records management tradition in an attempt to introduce the literature to the broader discussion on personal digital archives being had by the personal information management tradition.

“…(ARTIÈRES, 1998, p. 11) Essas intenções que norteiam a seleção dos documentos constituintes de um arquivo pessoal infringem, segundo alguns autores (ARTIÈRES, 1998, HEYMANN, 2013FRAIZ, 1998;McKEMMISH, 1996), um caráter autobiográfico aos arquivos pessoais, já que, ainda que seu titular não tenha se dedicado a manter um diário ou mesmo apontamentos sobre sua vida, o processo de arquivamento pessoal, a intenção acumuladora presente nos critérios que o guiaram na eleição dos elementos que seriam importantes e representativos a tal ponto de serem preservados ou, pelo contrário, irrelevantes que pudessem ser descartados ou, ainda, dolorosos, traumáticos, perniciosos que precisassem ser silenciados, estariam relacionados a uma espécie de "testemunho de si" (McKEMMISH, 1996) ou a uma modalidade de "produção do eu" (FRAIZ, 1998 Brasil, e que essas inúmeras mudanças possam ter acarretado uma perda documental significativa aos seus papéis pessoais.…”

O presente trabalho é fruto da pesquisa desenvolvida no âmbito do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Memória Social e Patrimônio Cultural, da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, na qual pesquisa-se a trajetória profissional da professora Dr.ª Maria Judith Zuzarte Cortesão, a partir do seu arquivo pessoal, bem como busca-se analisar o processo de institucionalização desse acervo. Pretende-se, neste artigo, abordar os arquivos pessoais enquanto suporte da memória e de representação de seus titulares, nos mais diversos papéis sociais que estes tenham desempenhado ao longo de suas trajetórias de vida, além de buscar elucidar conceitos como de trajetória de vida, história de vida e biografia.

“…Not only have archivists of personal records demonstrated the value of collecting materials documenting individuals' social roles and their performance, they provide useful collecting schemas. 83 One such framework comes from Catherine Hobbs's directive to seek out "expression of character"-"the personal, the idiosyncratic, the singular views of people as they go about doing the things they do and commenting on them" as assurance that we document "complex humanity" rather than "surface activities." 84 Archivists of multicultural communities and groups have proven the value of participatory appraisal processes as a means of including multiple perspectives within the documentary record 85 and as a way of engaging with those perspectives more fully (i.e., to understand "the value of community records as the community understands them").…”

Joining interdisciplinary conversations within archival appraisal theory, this article asks 1) how does a cultural studies model of appraisal re-imagine the documentary record for institutional archives, and 2) what are the methodological implications of such an approach? In sketching the theoretical overlaps and divergences between archival studies and cultural studies to locate productive tensions between the two disciplines, this article offers a three-pronged approach to appraisal trained on everyday culture and experience. At stake in broadening current appraisal standards are the politics of institutional memory and the limits of archival responsibility. © Kit Hughes.
