While the term “archive” conventionally evokes storage of physical materials and documents, scholars such as Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Ann Laura Stoler have called attention to archive’s subjective qualities. Contrary a definition that encompasses institutional collections preservation, may be better understood production knowledge, meaning, memory exposes processes transcultural negoti...

As the volume and complexity of data sets archived at NCBI grow rapidly, so does the need to gather and organize the associated metadata. Although metadata has been collected for some archival databases, previously, there was no centralized approach at NCBI for collecting this information and using it across databases. The BioProject database was recently established to facilitate organization ...

What we present here is a conceptual model to manage a complete information system related to the archival material. The model is divided into two sections: the first for the archivistic heritage descriptions, the second for the archivistic heritage management. The two sections are physically and logically separated but they are linked together so that the same records can be described in two d...

This research aimed at identifying natural organisms and their properties in the technological samples of contemporary architecture. The main questionswere: "Which properties of natural organisms are effective on the technological works of contemporary architecture?" and "How much do they affect?"This descriptive-analytic research was conducted using archival method to access the theoretical...

High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis is a novel tool for analysis of promoter methylation. The aim of the present study was to establish and validate HRM analysis for detection of promoter methylation on archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from colorectal cancer patients. We first evaluated HRM assays for O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and adenomatous polyposis ...

This paper looks at some of the domain specific preservation challenges faced by the Archaeology Data Service and how we work with these in order to maximise the re-use potential of the data that we archive. It looks in particular at one of the mandatory responsibilities of an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and how we try to ensure that the data that we present to our designated commun...

The field of women’s history emerged and developed through the joint efforts of scholars, librarians, and archivists. When the field emerged in the early 1970s, the combined labor of individuals in these academic disciplines unearthed otherwise obscure archival evidence, shaped a new framework for research, and fueled dynamic inquiry into the historic experiences and modern understandings of wo...

AIMS To analyse the immunophenotype of a large number of non-endemic Burkitt's lymphomas to determine whether a B cell phenotype is consistently recognisable using formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded archival material and a standard panel of commercially available antibodies. METHODS Archival material was obtained from 30 cases of childhood Burkitt's lymphoma registered with the West Midlan...
