History Of Migration

The Kenya National Archives in Nairobi hosts a large collection of photos of British refugee camps taken during the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. This brief overview of the collection does not endeavour to analyse this little-known aspect of Ethiopian history but to introduce the photo collection as a possible tool to assess the history of migration and refuge in this part of the world.

The introduction describes the broad landscape of translation of Virgil from both the theoretical and the practical perspectives. It then explains the genesis of the volume and indicates how the individual chapters, each one of which is summarized, fit into the complex tapestry of Virgilian translation activity through the centuries and across the world. The volume editors indicate points of connection between the chapters in order to render the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Braund and Torlone emphasize that a project such as this could look like a (rather large) collection of case studies; they therefore consider it important to extrapolate larger phenomena from the specifics presented here

Gain Access

The national archives of Denmark and Sweden have engaged Soviet archives in extensive and probably unique exchanges of copied materials. These two archives consequently hold substantial quantities of Soviet archival records, records sometimes of extraordinary value, which in some cases are scarcely accessible in any other part of the world, including the Soviet Union. Approximately 40 percent of the holdings of Soviet documents in the Danish National Archive come from the Arkhiv vneshnei politiki Rossii. The fact that it is very difficult to gain access to this institution considerably enhances their importance. The Swedish holdings are similar.The Russian documents in both archives were acquired in two phases, and phase one was common to both. In 1928, archivists and historians from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden formed a joint Scandinavian committee for the exploration of the Russian state archives (Den Nordiske Faelleskomite for Udforskning af de russiske Statsarkiver).

History Of Migration

International migration has flowed and ebbed in two long waves over the last two hundred years. The major determinants of international migration have been the economy and the state. The economic forces impinging on migration are demography, technology, the level of wages, and geographical proximity, transportation, and communications. The state is the confluence of social and political forces within countries which define, encourage or curtail, and regulate movement across borders. The lesson of the nineteenth-century migration system is that states created it or allowed it to happen. They also always had the power to end it, and they eventually did. The huge break in the history of migration which accompanied the era of the world wars points to the decisive power of the state to control migration and, by extension, the direction of economic development itself. The present article reviews the major phases of the history of modern migration in order to put the present crossroads in perspective.

Forced Eviction

The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group in Rakhine, are considered among the most persecuted, vulnerable, and oppressed minorities in the world. Recently, the persecution on the Rohingya Muslims has increased due to Buddhist nationalism in Myanmar. The Rohingya continue to suffer from several forms of restrictions and human rights violations in Myanmar due to them being denied Myanmar citizenship. They are victims of various forms of oppression, such as arbitrary taxation, land confiscation, destruction of mosques, torture and ill-treatment, extrajudicial executions, restrictions on movements, forced eviction and house destruction, forced laborers on roads and at military camps, and financial restrictions on marriage. Since the 1970s, a number of crackdowns on the Rohingya in Rakhine have forced them to flee to neighboring countries. More than one million Rohingyas have migrated to refugee camps in the Bangladeshi district of Cox’s Bazar. This article deals with the origin of the Rohingya, the form of their citizenship, and recent oppression in the Rakhine State of Myanmar.

The Voice

Przekształcenia własnościowe przełomu lat 80. i 90. XX w. sprawiły, że w Polsce nastąpił rozkwit działalności gospodarczej, prowadzonej przez prywatne podmioty. Konkurencja sprawiła jednak, że część z nich zakończyła działalność, a wytworzona przez nie dokumentacja niearchiwalna została przekazana na czasowe przechowywanie m.in. do archiwów państwowych. Zgodnie z obowiązującymi przepisami akta te są brakowane, a zgodę wydaje archiwum państwowe miejsca przechowywania dokumentacji. Natomiast archiwum państwowego miejsca wytworzenia akt wypowiada się tylko odnośnie do brakowania dokumentacji przedsiębiorstw państwowych i samorządowych. Ponieważ jednak dla dziejów gospodarczych Polski po 1989 r. istotne znacznie mają podmioty prywatne, warto, by głos archiwistów posiadających najlepszą wiedzę na temat kompletności źródeł do dziejów gospodarczych danego regionu (tj. miejsca wytworzenia akt), był obligatoryjny także dla brakowania akt podmiotów niepaństwowych i niesamorządowych. Disposal of non-archival stored documentation. A view in the discussion on the shape of national archival collection Ownership transformation in the late 1980s/early 1990s led to economic prosperity for private enterprises. However, due to competition, some of them closed down and their non-archival documentation was transferred to be temporarily stored e.g. in national archives. According to the provisions in force, those files are disposed of, and the permission to do so is issued by the national archive for the region where the documents are stored. The national archive for the region where the files were produced only has its say in matters regarding the disposal of documents from state- or local government-owned enterprises. However, since private entities are of major importance for the economic history of Poland after 1989, it seems justified that the voice of archivists, who have the most extensive knowledge on the completeness of sources on the economic history of a given region (i.e. the place where the files had been created), be also required when disposing of files from private enterprises, i.e. ones not owned by the state or local government.

This article examines the privatization of telegraphy in the British Empire from the perspective of Gibraltar, an overseas territory in the Mediterranean. While the history of international telegraphy is typically written from a world-systems perspective, this article presents a key methodological critique of the use of collections spread across many institutions and colonies: archival satellites are not simply reducible to parts of a scattered whole, as archival collections are themselves curations of socially-positioned understandings of Empire. This is especially true of the “girdle round the world” that was British telegraphy. At a meta-historical level, individual archival collections of the global British telegraphy system can be read as histories of colonial administrators’ geographically- and socially- situated perspectives on Empire—namely through what archives have, and have not, preserved. I demonstrate how the documents about telegraphy collected and maintained in the Gibraltar National Archives reflect pre- and post-World War I English, anti-Liberal colonial administrators’ and military officials’ fear that privatization was an opening salvo against the democratic web that held the last vestiges of Empire together.
