This review focuses on a monograph written by Jayne Persian, lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland (Australia). The work is the first complex study devoted to the adaptation of former “displaced persons” (more particularly, émigrés from the Soviet Union) in Australia between the 1940s and 1960s. The work refers to an extensive complex of documents from the National Archives of Australia, the National Archives (United Kingdom), the Noel Butlin Archives Centre, Australian National University, and interviews with former “displaced persons” residing in Australia. The study is very important because it provides new information on the second wave of Soviet emigration, which is seldom examined by contemporary Russian scholars. Persian demonstrates that political factors played an important role in how the Australian government granted immigration permission. Quite frequently, Australia preferred people who shared anti-communist positions. Therefore, many former collaborators of the World War II era came to Australia; this hindered cooperation between the USSR and Australia. Persian shows that “new Australians” had difficulty integrating into society. The government tried to assimilate them, which pushed the immigrants to seek isolation in their communities. This book helps us understand the controversial character of the state policy of historical memory, a problem that is also very important for contemporary Russia.

Access To Documents

The function of research and promotion is not unique only to museums and libraries, but also to archives, because these institutions’ activity is aimed to public needs. Nowadays greater importance is given to the archives communication. Communication with public is one of the components of the archive image. Archives cooperate to a much greater extent with public, informing people and making people aware of national documentary heritage. The archives cooperation with educational institutions and teachers is positively regarded. The important direction of the Latvian National Archives activity is the document digitization in order to expand access to documents. Therefore, with the possibilities of new information technologies, the archive becomes more open. Most recently the important role of archives activity was only documents accumulation for evaluation and preservation. Until 21st century there was not a wide access to the archival records, therefore archives pedagogy is a new branch in Latvia.

Shed Light

Two legal documents recently discovered among The National Archives at Kew in London provide new information about Henry Purcell's final years. The only known instances of the composer's involvement with the law, these rare archival finds shed light on his familial relations and financial circumstances at that point in his career when he was turning his attention to the London stage. The first case involves Purcell's sister-in-law Amy Howlett, who owed him £40; and the second concerns his unpaid bill at an exclusive West End retailer's. The new material confirms beyond doubt the identity of Purcell's in-laws, and shows that he was not just short of money in the 1690s, but that he was actually in debt at the time of his death. Other areas of enquiry include the élite social milieu in which the Purcells increasingly moved, and their possible place of residence in 1691–3. These aspects are discussed in relation to Purcell's enhanced public profile at that time, and within the wider context of the culture of consumption and credit in late seventeenth-century England. The two lawsuits are transcribed and translated in full, and their legal implications explicated.

Stated Purpose

In late October 1999 I visited the third annual Syrian National Documentation Festival in the Damascus fairgrounds. Syrian ministry employees and Ba'th Party officials have organized the ten-day long annual Documentation Festival since the mid-1990s. Its stated purpose is to preserve and celebrate the heritage of the nation. In 1999 the exhibition was separated into four large halls devoted to different documents and art. The most prominent hall was devoted to heroic paintings, photos, and videotaped speeches of then Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad. Other halls were devoted to popular art, family, local, and municipal histories and documents, and selections from the archives of various departments and ministries. The final hall contained the ministry of education, ministry of antiquities, including the national archives, the ministry of the interior including the departments of awqâf (sing, waqf), Damascus municipal police, and the ministry of agriculture.

Revolutionary Period

Legal historians have surmised that court records of the British province of East Florida (1763-1783) have been either lost or destroyed. This assumption was based on the poor conditions for survival of documents in Florida and statements made in the secondary literature on the province. Nonetheless, a significant number of documents related to the courts of British East Florida exist in the National Archives (Kew). These materials reveal an active legal culture using English law in a wide range of courts including (1) the Court of Common Pleas; (2) the Court of Chancery; (3) the Court of General Sessions of the Peace, Oyer et Terminer, Assize and General Gaol Delivery; (4) Special Courts of Oyer et Terminer; (5) the Court of Vice-Admiralty; (6) the Court of Ordinary; (7) the General Court; and (8) a District Court.
This article studies a portion of the documents related to the Court of Common Pleas to describe the nature of the court’s practice in civil litigation. It closely examines three cases for which sufficient extant pleadings permit the reconstruction of the general contours of recovery for breach of a sales contract through an action of trespass on the case, for contract enforcement through an action of covenant, and for recovery of a sum certain through an action of debt. The small window provided by these cases into the activities of this court reveals a heretofore unknown world of English common law in North America during and after the American Declaration of Independence. This new information supplements and challenges our established understanding of colonial law in North America in the revolutionary period and the use of law in the British Empire. This study illustrates the many opportunities these sources offer to legal historians of the period.

AbstractTwo King's Bench lawsuits in The National Archives of the UK contain new information about the activities of castrati working in mid-eighteenth-century London. Monticelli v. Sackville (1748) confirms Horace Walpole's testimony that singers employed by the Earl of Middlesex's opera company received enormous salaries. Manfredini v. Geminiani (1751) preserves details of a contract of employment between singer and impresario that went disastrously wrong for both parties. An account of the London careers of the main protagonists is supplied to contextualise the new information.

Resumo O uso das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) instaura aos processos infocomunicacionais contemporâneos inovações que, ao mesmo tempo em que acentuam a importância dos estudos da Ciência da Informação, apresentam à área grandes desafios, pois possibilitam a construção colaborativa de conteúdos e conhecimento em rede. Neste cenário de reordenamento de estruturas e novos comportamentos informacionais surge o paradigma Pós-custodial, propondo às instituições de Arquivo uma forma original de criar, armazenar e disseminar informação, facilitando o acesso aos seus documentos. Assim, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, este estudo reúne conceitos teóricos sobre o novo paradigma em questão e realiza nesse cenário um estudo de caso do website do “The National Archives”, do Reino Unido, para a partir da exploração desse site, identificar e retratar pontos e características que apresentam em conformidade com as premissas do Pós-custodial, especialmente no que diz respeito à disponibilização de documentos digitalizados para acesso online pelos usuários. Percebe-se que a consequente abertura dos Arquivos e seus documentos à rede digital traz um significativo ganho de visibilidade às Instituições arquivísticas, amplia seu espaço de atuação, aproxima-se do público e revigora-se na sua forma pós-custodial.Palavras-chave: Informação e Tecnologia; Pós-custodial; Web Colaborativa; The National Archives.Abstract The use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) introduces innovations to the contemporary infocommunicative process, which while stress the importance of Information Science studies, present major challenges to the area, as they allow for the collaborative construction of content and knowledge on the net. In this scenario, the reorganization of structures and new informational behaviors, Post-custodial paradigm emerges proposing to the institutions of Archives an original way to create, store and disseminate information, facilitating access to their documents. Thus, through a bibliographic research, this study brings theoretical concepts on the new paradigm and follows with a case study of the "The National Archives" from the UK. From the exploration of the website, we identify and portray characteristics that present, in accordance with the assumptions of post-custodial, especially with regard to the provision of online access to digitized documents to users. It is noticed that the consequent opening of Archives and documents to the digital environment brings a significant gain of visibility to archival institutions, expands its sphere of action, approaches to the public and invigorates on its post-custodial form.Keywords: Information & Technology; Post-custodial; Collaborative Web; The National Archives.

High resolution electron microscopy has been shown to give new information on defects(1) and phase transformations in solids (2,3). In a continuing program of lattice fringe imaging of alloys, we have applied this technique to the martensitic transformation in steels in order to characterize the atomic environments near twin, lath and αmartensite boundaries. This paper describes current progress in this program.Figures A and B show lattice image and conventional bright field image of the same area of a duplex Fe/2Si/0.1C steel described elsewhere(4). The microstructure consists of internally twinned martensite (M) embedded in a ferrite matrix (F). Use of the 2-beam tilted illumination technique incorporating a twin reflection produced {110} fringes across the microtwins.

Small Holes

Freeze-etched membranes usually appear as relatively smooth surfaces covered with numerous small particles and a few small holes (Fig. 1). In 1966 Branton (1“) suggested that these surfaces represent split inner mem¬brane faces and not true external membrane surfaces. His theory has now gained wide acceptance partly due to new information obtained from double replicas of freeze-cleaved specimens (2,3) and from freeze-etch experi¬ments with surface labeled membranes (4). While theses studies have fur¬ther substantiated the basic idea of membrane splitting and have shown clearly which membrane faces are complementary to each other, they have left the question open, why the replicated membrane faces usually exhibit con¬siderably fewer holes than particles. According to Branton's theory the number of holes should on the average equal the number of particles. The absence of these holes can be explained in either of two ways: a) it is possible that no holes are formed during the cleaving process e.g. due to plastic deformation (5); b) holes may arise during the cleaving process but remain undetected because of inadequate replication and microscope techniques.
