Lost and Found in the Archives from Adam Falk on Vimeo.
"Jenny Lukomski knows her calling. After talking to an archivist for five minutes at a career fair, Lukomski says she knew what she was meant to do. In January 2011, Lukomski was laid off from her position as assistant director for collections after 14 years at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection in Columbia, Mo. The layoff left her without a plan. Now, she’s dealing with the complications of job loss.(Video by Adam Falk, Andrew Feiler, Michelle Flandreau) "

New legislation is currently under review by City Council that will change the administrative structure of the New York City Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS), the department that is responsible for the NYC Municipal Archives, City Hall Library, and records programs. The proposal will merge DORIS into the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS). The proposal must be brought before the City Council and approved by its members before it can be enacted.
On Wednesday April 13, 2011, the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York, Inc. (ART) submitted to City Council’s Committee on Governmental Operations a list of concerns and recommendations regarding the proposed legislation. The list of concerns and recommendations is available on our website (direct link to list: https://bit.ly/e1hkIw ).

We have been working on extracting references from all SSRN papers for 5 years as part of the CiteReader™ project that SSRN has undertaken with our development firm, ITX Corp. We have created a system to extract references and footnotes from PDF files on SSRN and to have that extracted data proofread by human beings. While this project is not yet complete, we are now announcing the release of over 6.7 million references extracted from the reference sections of over 182,000 papers on the SSRN site as well as over 4.2 million citations that we have linked to SSRN papers.
– The references from each SSRN paper (where we have been able to extract them) can be found on the REFERENCES tab on the public abstract page for each paper.
– The citations we have matched to each SSRN paper are available on the CITATIONS tab on the public abstract page for the paper.
– These reference links provide an excellent way for any reader to go back in the literature in any area, and the citation links provide an excellent way to go forward in the literature.
Data on the Current State of SSRN's CiteReader™ Project
– Papers with Resolved References: 182,645 out of the 270,179 full text papers on SSRN
– Total References Resolved: 6,689,847
– SSRN Papers with Resolved Citations: 180,339
– Total Citation Links between the Cited and the Citing Paper: 4,277,354
– Papers with Resolved Footnotes: 60,721 (we are giving footnote extraction priority to papers with no reference section)
– Total Extracted Footnotes: 6,899,585
NOTE: References in those papers on SSRN that do not have a Reference section have not been fully extracted as yet. We are working on this. These papers (primarily law papers) have their references in footnotes. This means that citations from law papers are currently dramatically undercounted in SSRN citation statistics.
SSRN is now extracting footnotes from all papers while giving processing priority to those papers with no reference section. We have extracted over 6.9 million footnotes from over 60,000 papers with no Reference sections thus far. These footnotes and the references we extract from them will also be appearing in tabs on SSRN's abstract pages. SSRN is now perfecting the algorithms for extracting references from these footnotes. The undercounting of citations from and to law papers will be resolved over the next year as our algorithms are perfected and references from papers with no reference section are extracted from footnotes and linked to the papers being cited.

https://www.filaha.org
The purpose of the Filāḥa Texts Project is to publicise and elucidate the written works collectively known as the Kutub al-Filāḥa or ‘Books of Husbandry’ compiled by Arab, especially Andalusi, agronomists mainly between the 10th and 14th centuries (see Authors & Works). These systematic and detailed manuals of agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry have been sadly neglected and remain largely unknown in the Anglophone world - apart from some of the Yemeni works they have never been translated into English. They not only provide primary source material for the understanding of what has been called the ‘Islamic Green Revolution’ but constitute a rich body of knowledge concerning a traditional system of husbandry which is as valid today as it was a thousand years ago and has much relevance to future sustainable agriculture. See Introduction.
The Filāḥa texts are preserved in some 240 manuscripts scattered in libraries and institutions in 40 different cities, mainly in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. See Map of Holding Institutions.
The objectives of the Filāḥa Texts Project are:
To bring to a worldwide English-speaking readership the current state of knowledge on the Filāḥa texts and their authors, especially the findings of Spanish scholars J.M. Carabaza Bravo and E. García Sánchez who have worked in this field for the past twenty-five years. To them we owe a huge debt of gratitude. See Bibliography.
To gather together a corpus of digitized manuscript facsimiles, along with their Arabic editions where they exist, and provide an online collaborative translation platform to facilitate translation of these into English. See Community.
To present for the first time in English a series of digitized, searchable and cross-referenced Filāḥa texts. See Texts & Translations.
To provide a variety of scholarly online resources such as glossaries, bibliographies, published articles, links, etc. See Articles & Resources.
To encourage interest and research in the field, and provide a locus for the publication of scholarly and more popular articles on the Filāḥa manuals and traditional farming in Arab and Islamic lands in general.
To provide a forum for discussion and the exchange of ideas among scholars engaged in the field. Register to join the Forum here.
The Filāḥa Texts Project is a collaborative project co-ordinated by Simon Fitzwilliam-Hall, Senior Researcher at the Golden Web Foundation. Contact: sfitzwilliam-hall@goldenweb.org
We encourage all those interested in the field to join the FTP community. Members will be able to contribute content, join the discussion forum, and participate in the collaborative translation programme.

Sandwell Council - along with neighbouring councils - is looking for help to boost its online access to the areas historic records and museum services.
Along with other local authorities in the Black Country, the council is opening up its archives by placing items and information online.
Over the last three years, almost 140,000 items have been put on the web.
Now it is holding a Hack Day to team up with programmers and designers who can come up with new ways of making access easier and quicker.
Sandwell borough archivist Sarah Chubb said: "The Hack Day is being held this Saturday (April16) at The Public in West Bromwich, from 10am, and we are hoping that there will be a really good turn out."
Project manager Linda Ellis said: "We are really excited about working with local web enthusiasts and are looking forward to hearing their ideas of how we can work together to make our data more accessible, interesting and useful.
"We hope that developers who are interested in using our data will come along to our Museums Hack Day.
"With a number of digital creatives already signed up for the event and an inspiring venue, this promises to be a fun, creative and productive day."
Over the last 12 months museums and archive services in the Black Country have been working together to make its collections information available online via the Black Country History website.
Hack Days are seen as exciting, collaborative events that bring people, data and ideas together to create new things and make connections.
The recent Culture Hack Day held at the Royal Opera House in London, attracted 69 developers and saw some fascinating applications being built.
