Underlying Processes

This study explored the underlying processes associated with the policy of increasing qualified physical education teachers (QPETs) in Singapore primary schools. Data were collected from the National Archives of Singapore, Newslink, NewpaperSG and documents. An ‘archaeological analysis’ by Foucault (1972) was used to trace the discursive conditions which enabled and facilitated the policy. Three distinct elements were borrowed from ‘The Archaeology of Knowledge and the Discourse on Language’, namely: the status – as reflected in the positions of individuals influencing the PE policies and initiatives; the institutional sites – as in the locations of the decisions being exercised, and; the situation – identified by the key events leading to the decision to increase QPETs in primary schools. The conclusions based on the analysis of these elements offer a clearer understanding of the various contributions to the adoption of the policy and serve to provide an insightful lens to policymakers who might seek to redesign the future shape of Physical Education.

The National Archives is developing a range of practical solutions to the active preservation of electronic records, using an extensible service-oriented architecture and a central technical registry (PRONOM). This paper describes TNA’s methodologies for characterisation, preservation planning, and preservation action, the technologies being adopted to implement them, and the role of PRONOM in supporting these services. It describes how this approach fits with international research programmes, and the types of preservation service which TNA may be able to provide externally in the future.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is considered the official record keeper of the United States of America. In existence for over 75 years, NARA is responsible for a significant amount of records. With the changing times and technology, NARA has been faced with the challenge of becoming an organization focused on making these records available in a digital format. NARA has risen to the challenge in a multitude of ways. It continues to transform and discover new ways to meet the demands of its customer, the American people. This case study explores the major steps taken towards the digitization effort, and the biggest challenges faced. It covers the successes met thus far and expected plans for growth in the future.

This article marks the completion of an online database catalogue of the records of taxation of the medieval and early modern clergy of England and Wales in the ‘E 179’ clerical series at The National Archives. It has two parts: an overview of the history of clerical taxation based upon the database's register of tax grants and an analytical guide to the contents of the series, with references to all key documents. The intention is to stimulate research in this important area of study by providing a blueprint for the future exploitation of this rich seam of neglected records.

AbstractHistorically, conservation of maps included the application of silk facings, heavy cloth backings and use of inappropriate adhesives. This combination of papers, linings and adhesives often causes undulations, tenting and stiffness, hindering their use. Furthermore, silk yellows over time, which compromises the visual interpretation. The National Archives UK faced these problems when preparing Samuel Holland’s 1765 3×4 m map of St John’s Island for display. This paper outlines the complex conservation treatment of a large scale paper object, the creative and innovative techniques developed and the challenges of preparing such an object for display. All products from previous repairs in 1973 were removed using aqueous treatments, the distorted map was mended and realigned and in a major undertaking this large scale object was lined, using up to date techniques. This required building a bridge and a platform and forming a team of 12 colleagues to accomplish the complex and challenging multi-layered lining. A better understanding of treatments and materials available today enabled a successful conservation treatment, which left the map more accessible, visually engaging and flexible for the future, whilst changing protocols of future treatment of maps at The National Archives with application for the wider conservation community.

Archiwum Narodowe w Krakowie oprócz swoich statutowych zadań, polegających na kształtowaniu narodowego zasobu archiwalnego, przejmowaniu, przechowywaniu, opracowaniu, udostępnianiu i zabezpieczaniu matriałów archiwalnych, pełni także funkcję pomocniczą w zakresie informowania przyszłych emerytów na temat miejsc przechowywania dokumentacji osobowo-płacowej ze zlikwidowanych zakładów pracy. 244 Karolina Zięba Niniejszy artykuł omawia ogólne zasady, według których Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych przyznaje świadczenia emerytalne. Potwierdzenie okresu zatrudnienia oraz złożenie kompletu dokumentacji niezbędnej do obliczenia kapitału początkowego ma tu kluczowe znaczenie. Były pracodawca wystawia druk RP-7, który stanowi zaświadczenie o zatrudnieniu i wynagrodzeniu. Jeśli jest to z jakichś przyczyn niemożliwe, przyszły emeryt poszukuje dokumentacji potwierdzającej fakt zaistnienia stosunku pracy oraz wysokość składek na własną rękę. Najbardziej interesującym z punktu widzenia wnioskodawców zagadnieniem jest problem odnalezienia miejsca przechowywania akt osobowo-płacowych. W zależności od specyfiki zakładu pracy będzie to inna instytucja. Zaprezentowano kilka wskazówek, odnośnie tego, czym należy się kierować w poszukiwaniach dokumentacji kadrowej. Omówiono także, skrótowo, znajdujące się w zasobie Archiwum Narodowego w Krakowie zespoły archiwalne, zawierające tego typu dokumentację, obalając popularne przekonanie, że akta osobowo-płacowe z terenu całej Polski (bądź ich dublety) są w jego posiadaniu. Personnel documentation for retirement purposes. Tips concerning searches The National Archives in Krakow, in addition to its statutory tasks of developing the national archival resources, acquiring, storing, mapping, providing access to and safeguarding archival materials, also provides help to future pensioners by supplying them with information concerning the storage locations of personnel documentation from workplaces that have closed down. This article discusses the general principles according to which the Social Insurance Organisation (ZUS) awards pensions. Confirmation of employment periods and the submittal of all documentation necessary for calculation of the initial capital is of great importance here. Former employers issue the RP-7 form, which represents a certificate of employment with remuneration levels. If, for some reason, this is impossible, the future pensioner looks for documentation confirming that the employment took place and the level of contributions. The most interesting issue for applicants concerns searching for the storage location of personnel records. The relevant institution depends on the type of workplace. A few tips are presented, with reference to the most important factors while searching for personnel documentation. There is also a brief discussion regarding the archival units found in the National Archives in Krakow that contain this type of documentation, disproving the popular belief that personnel records from all of Poland (or their copies) are in its possession.
