我的 UCC图书馆 同事 艾玛·霍根(Emma Horgan) 上周对我们的Instagram帐户进行了“询问存档”会话。获得的作品是如此吸引人,我认为捕捉它会很好 故事 以更永久的方式-因此这篇文章...
1- What is the difference between an Archivist 和 a Librarian?
档案管理员主要处理独特的未出版材料,而图书管理员则主要处理存在多个副本的已出版材料。
Archivists 和 Librarians are both very concerned with preservation, but since Archivists often are keeping the ONLY original copy of something they are more focused on preservation. Preservation meaning long term access... both 档案保管员 和 图书馆员 are very much concerned about providing access 和 research assistance!
Because the material in archives is generally unique, 档案保管员 often have to spend a lot more time in processing / 编目 material than 图书馆员 do. Librarians can rely more on shared 编目 和 standardised processing by vendors to get things ready for the shelf.
Again, because the material in archives is generally unique, 档案保管员 usually can't permit the public to browse their shelves in person, or to check out materials. This has led 档案保管员 to be more personally involved in mediating between users 和 materials than 图书馆员 generally are. Librarians (and this is generally speaking - not true in every situation of course) mainly try to teach users to help themselves to sources as much as possible.
Librarians tend to do a lot more instruction 和 outreach activities than 档案保管员, teaching things like how to do specialised research, track citations, adhere to copyright 和 so on. Archivists are beginning to focus more on teaching 和 outreach than they used to. I personally teach undergrad 和 post grad classes in UCC图书馆 Special Collections, using material 从 the archival collections.
One more note: many people do not realise how diverse both the librarian 和 archivist fields really are. 的re are MANY varieties of 图书馆员 who specialise in all sorts of things... there are 图书馆员 who organise outreach for public libraries: science 图书馆员 who run institutional repositories for electronic articles; rare book 图书馆员 who catalogue unique printed works; academic subject specialists who administer collection development budgets 和 teach research skills; 和 so on. Archivists likewise might be specialists in research methods, acquisitions, born digital records, exhibit curation, or arrangement/description of paper archives. So, all of my comments won't apply to every situation.

2-社会为什么需要档案保管员?/ 您为什么认为档案管理员的工作很重要?
的 most important aspect of an Archivist's job is that we identify what documents 和 information should be kept 和 preserved for future generations to study. Once we make the decision not archive an item, it's gone forever.
3-我最喜欢的档案收藏是什么?
绝对是我在爱尔兰蒸馏厂档案馆中从事的Power's Distillery Collection。
4-我梦dream以求的档案收藏工作是什么?
I am a huge film buff, 和 fan of digital archiving, so my answer has to be the Walt Disney 封存.
5-我为什么/如何成为档案管理员?
我被说服了 Emer Twomey, UCC图书馆's long standing Archivist. Her passion 和 enthusiasm sold me. I also love learning new things 和 researching- a vital aspect of an Archivist's job.
6-对新手档案管理员有何建议?
Try 和 get as much work experience in the field as you can. Not only does it give you an idea if this job is for you, but it also enable you to build up your contacts in the archival world. Networking is important in all fields.
7-我觉得所有档案保管员都有什么特征吗?
我绝对会说我们所有人都有的一个特点是好奇心。
8-您希望更多的人知道什么收藏品?
的 伊丽莎白·弗里德兰德收藏. She was a german graphic designer, who fled Nazi Germany 和 was the first woman to ever design her own typeface- called "Elizabeth".
9- 您遇到的最奇怪的事情是什么?
I was working on a collection in the Irish Distillers 封存. I was opening boxes for the first time since they'd been filled in the 1930s, 和 found a really nice pair of gentleman's horn rimmed glasses. Had been swept into the box 从 his desk accidentally. 的y're on display in the archive now as an artefact.
10- 妈咪呢这是什么故事?
他被安全地存放在凯恩大楼的地下室。为长期死亡的埃及人安排护照非常困难,尤其是在这种情况下,但是他正在排队!
11- 您的档案中最神秘的作品是什么?
我们有很多东西,包括死亡面具!但实际上,这是伊丽莎白一世的牛皮纸文件, containing, we think, royal orders. But the document is entirely in Latin 和 we haven't been able to have it translated. Could be a shopping list!
12- 您曾经处理过的最酷的物品?
一瓶来自1782年的威士忌。
13- 人们如何着手编制档案?
if you are interested in compiling a family archive, get in contact 和 i can give you specific advice. If you want to preserve an item of national/historical significance, i would advise you get in contact with your nearest 封存, or the National 封存 of Ireland.
14- 您在档案中找到的梦想是什么?
的 secret to eating my bodyweight in chocolate 和 not gaining weight, ideally! But realistically i love finding items that change our perception of history, i discovered a long lost distillery!
15-您如何成为档案管理员? 🙂
To achieve your qualification you can either do the MA in 档案 in UCD, or the part time MAs available 从 UK universities. 的 UCD course is one year, 和 intensive, but it is an internationally recognised qualification, so i can work in Canada or New Zealand if i decided to.
16- 你最喜欢什么颜色?
紫色-版税 😁
17- 你喜欢哪个?书还是电影?
电影, 我是 一个巨大的恐怖迷。爱 Spanish, Korean and Scandinavian horror.
18-您最大的恐惧是什么?
的 unknown. I liken it to being in the ocean, 和 having no idea what could come up 从 the depths!
19-您到家最远的地方是?
最近,我走了整整500米,但有史以来最远的是马耳他,这是一个迷人的文化熔炉。希望能在澳大利亚度蜜月。
20- 您对未来几个月有何期待?
实际的人际交往!!! *清除 throat* Seeing my 同事s 和 friends again.
