Sometimes history is handled with white cotton gloves.
Museum and Collections Manager Steven Spiller slips on the gloves when showing off some of the fragile scrapbooks and documents being rediscovered by
archivists at the Mission Inn Museum in downtown Riverside.
Among them is the original 1908 patent Mission Inn founder Frank Miller obtained for his Rain Cross. The logo has become a popular symbol in the Riverside
area.

Edward F. Stancheski walks in, turns on the lights, and puts his
straw hat and sunglasses on his desk.
There are no other people, no clicking of keyboards or whirring of printers, not
much sunlight and only the toot of an occasional train horn outside to break the
silence.
Just files.

Pittsburgh Tribune Review
Assistant curator sees work as mission
By Mary Pickels
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Sunday, July 4, 2004
Nearly three years ago, Roxanne Sullivan laid on the living room floor of
her Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, home and cried. Outside,
emergency personnel ran helter-skelter, searching for a downed plane,
looking for survivors. Overhead, helicopters -- police and media --
roared.
"The noise was unbearable," she recalled.

Special to the Observer
There is something sacred about a researcher seeing a hand-written entry to a church register naming his
or her ancestor and the dates of a birth and baptism, thereby documenting the ancestor's location in time
and space, that is unparalleled in all bibliographical research.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Wondering how much your neighbor's house is worth? Or if he's given any money to a political candidate? Perhaps
you'd like to know whether he's ever spent a night in jail, or the real reason behind his divorce.
Questions like these at your next neighborhood barbecue could get you a fat lip.

A Declaration Signed by The Founders As Well as The Centuries
By Joel Achenbach
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, July 4, 2004; Page D01
The Declaration of Independence bears the rhetorical handprint of a generation of
Americans who were determined to throw off the yoke of royal tyranny. It also bears a
handprint, literally.
It's in the lower left corner. There's no two ways about it:
It's someone's sloppy paw print, smack dab on the
document that founded the nation.

Not Worth It
Hoarding records is a losing proposition
Whispering Pines can have a good and durable resolution of its dispute over public
records just as soon as it lets go of the idea that local ordinances trump state law.
It will not get such results with displays of bad manners like those during
Wednesday's public meeting. Insulting people and raising the decibel level to drown
out dissent can only give the Moore County village an image its people do not want
for it.

Diebold and the dutiful
From the electioneering you've seen so far this year, you might not think anyone's testing for logic or
accuracy.
But in fact four guys spent last week doing just that -- on about 400 of Columbus' touch-screen voting
machines.
One guy worked for Columbus' elections office. The other three worked for voting-machine maker
Diebold, which is pronounced "dee-bold," like in a soap opera ("Diebold and the Beautiful").

E-voting: Nightmare or nirvana?
June 30, 2004
By Paul Festa
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
If electronic voting were to face an
international referendum, it would almost
certainly lose.
Once the province of a small group of
election officials and equipment sellers, evoting
has exploded into the popular
consciousness because of a spreading
controversy over security and verifiability.
Thanks to a concerted effort by opponents
and to the missteps of voting machine
vendor Diebold Election Systems, most of
the news has been bad.

E-records no ‘fail proof system’- Monday 05, July-2004

As businesses switch from paper to electronic record keeping, an expert in the field of
information management has warned that there are several risks and challenges associated
with the move.
Sharon Alexander-Gooding, an assistant registrar at the Cave Hill Campus of the
University of the West Indies, noted that while e-records may provide improved access to
information, many of the programmes were complex and did not have the functionality to
support record keeping over a long time.
