“…As part of the shift towards a sustainable long-term management of digital resources, the development of digital curation as a discipline emerged in 1990 (Kouper, 2016). Digital curation is a multidisciplinary field, drawing upon the knowledge of many disciplines including archival, information, library, and computer sciences (Dobreva & Duff, 2015). The digital curation process involves the archiving of data of which its content, context, and structure have been filtered into fields (Dobreva & Duff, 2015).…”

<p>Users lacked the space to provide their own perspective on their health, or share their results and comments with their health care providers within health applications. The motivation behind this research was to create useful and user-friendly annotation functionality for a health application, called MyHealthMyRecord (MHMR), where users could annotate short personal videos created to document their health concerns, activities, and commentary. The main research question was: What annotation functionality would be usable and useful for MHMR? To evaluate the usability and usefulness of MHMR-Ann, a user study was carried out with 15 participants. A thematic analysis of the audio/video recordings of participants using MHMR-Ann produced five themes.<br> </p>

“…Historically, the level of access for researchers at the Braun has varied according to staff expertise, perceptions, and resources, as opposed to defined policies, and seemed to be set within an informal structure based on networks of interpersonal relationships between staff and researchers. This was not a sustainable approach, especially as research demand increased sharply with the emergence and increased use and development of “online discovery tools,” such as online library catalogues and digital image libraries (Dobreva and Duff 2015; Tourney 2003).…”

In 2003, the Autry Museum of the American West merged with the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, which housed the second largest collection of Native American objects in the country. Included within this collection is the Braun Research Library Collection, which consists of works of art on paper, rare books, scholarly publications, manuscripts, photographs, correspondences, maps and sound recordings, and other archival materials, many of which relate to the early development of the disciplines of archaeology and anthropology in the United States. For over a century, both national and international researchers have used the museum's collections and archival materials with a relative open access. However, due to the culturally sensitive nature of many of these collections and the growth of how information can be made accessible, the Autry institution is currently developing procedures that affect access, especially for those researchers who wish to study archaeological archives. Staff from multiple departments are collaborating on addressing these concerns, including developing new policies while improving access to Native American tribes, communities, and researchers in preparation for the new off-site Autry Resources Center and storage facility where the collection will be housed in the future.

“…The work of archivists, in the form of collections processing, bears striking resemblance to the work archaeologists do in the field and the lab. This work, however, has been greatly affected by the digital age (Averett et al 2016; Dobreva and Duff 2015; Eiteljorg 1998; Huggett 2015; McKemmish 2001; Poole 2015; Roosevelt et al 2015; Tourney 2003).…”

ON THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD AND ARCHIVAL RECORDSArchaeologists are not often trained in archival research techniques, but archaeological training can serve archaeologists quite well when they are conducting archival research thanks to the parallels between the archaeological and archival records. Archivists, like archaeologists, focus on the past. While archaeologists work to carefully undo the archaeological record, archivists compile the archival record. By nature, each record is a nonrenewable cultural resource that is vast, fragmentary, fragile, interpretive, and political (Danielson 2010;Eastwood and MacNeil 2017;Foucault 1972;Ketelaar 2002;Thomassen 2001;Williams 2006). The work of archivists, in the form of collections processing, bears striking resemblance to the work archaeologists do in the field and the lab. This work, however, has been greatly affected by the digital age (Averett et al.The building blocks of both disciplines are similar in concepts like context, provenience (or provenance), and stratigraphic sequenc-ABSTRACT Due to various factors, physical archives of archaeological significance are inconsistent in terms of level of organization and ability to access. In addition, while well-versed in archaeological theory and method, archaeologists are seldom trained in archival theory and method. These factors make it challenging for archaeologists to utilize archival records. Given some unique parallels between archival records and the archaeological record, the authors suggest that archaeological field training can, in fact, serve archaeologists quite well when conducting archival research. While this article focuses mainly on primary sources in physical archives, some discussion of digital archives is included here as well.Debido a diversos factores, los archivos físicos de importancia arqueológica son inconsistentes en cuanto de su nivel de organización y capacidad de acceso. Aunque tienen conocimientos en la teoría y el método arqueológicos, los arqueólogos no son entrenados típicamente en teoría y método de archivo. Dados algunos similitudes únicos entre los registros de archivo y el registro arqueológico, los autores sugieren que el entrenamiento arqueológico en el campo puede, de hecho, servir a los arqueólogos bien de realizar investigaciones archivísticas. Aunque este artículo se centra principalmente en fuentes primarias en archivos físicos, también se incluye una discusión de archivos digitales.
