| description | Abstract
Archival leadership and the role of the archivist during the
1800s have been studied by examining two of the leaders of the Norwegian
National Archives at that time. Documents from Henrik Wergeland
were chosen as he was the first in the position. Michael Birkeland's material
was studied because he was in the chair for the longest period.
Both of them have made important contributions theoretically and
practically to the development of public archives in Norway.
The findings show that the professional challenges met 170 years
ago are quite similar to those faced today, even though the medium
then was paper, and the hot topic today is digitally transmitted
material. The core questions were: What to keep? How to get an overview over
the material? How to store it? Who is going to take care of it?
How to communicate the information to the users?
The archival description is an important instrument for opening
the archives to future users. These descriptions are written by
archivists. For the purpose of source criticism, we need to know
the role and competence of these authors at different times. Development
of archival practice is a leadership task. This task is regrettably
little studied. |
