As opposed to most writings in the discipline of archives and records management which view records from cultural, historical, and economical efficiency dimensions, this volume highlights that one of the most salient features of records is the role they play as sources of accountability-a component that often brings them into daily headlines and into courtrooms. Struggles over control, access, preservation, destruction, authenticity, accuracy, and other issues demonstrate time and again that records are not mute observers and recordings of activity. Rather, they are frequently struggled over as objects of memory formation and erasure. The 14 powerful case studies focus around four closely related themes-explanation, secrecy, memory, and trust. They demonstrate how records compel, shape, distort, and recover social interactions across space and time. The diverse range of case studies includes the ownership of the Martin Luther King, Jr. papers, the destruction of records on Nazi war criminals in Canada, the politics of documents in the Iran-Contra affair, the failure of records management in the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the publication of tobacco company documents on the World Wide Web, access to records associated with the U.S. government's infamous Tuskegee syphilis study, the role of the U.S. National Archives in identifying assets looted by the Nazis in the wake of the Holocaust, the destruction of public records by the South African government during apartheid's final years, the construction of foreign relations of the U.S. documentary histories, the forgery corrupting recordkeeping systems, and the collapse of foreign indigenous commercial banks. 606 $aArchives$xSocial aspects 606 $aArchives$xAdministration$vCase studies 606 $aRecords$xManagement$vCase studies 606 $aCommon good 606 $aPublic interest 606 $aResponsibility 615 0$aArchives$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aArchives$xAdministration 615 0$aRecords$xManagement 615 0$aCommon good. 615 0$aPublic interest. 615 0$aResponsibility. 676 $a027 701 $aCox$b Richard J$0104049 701 $aWallace$b David A.$f1961-$01812422 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967656903321 996 $aArchives and the public good$94364832 997 $aUNINA
