As many ARCAN-L subscribers are aware, Archivaria: The
Journal of the Association of Canadian Archivists, plans to digitize and make
available on-line electronic versions of its back issues in partnership with
Simon Fraser University Library.
We ask Archivaria's authors who are willing to see
their work(s) made available in digital form to email the ACA office (at [log in to unmask]) granting their
permission. This lessens considerably the administrative burden faced by
the ACA in locating and approaching authors individually.
The goal is to share widely the range of archival
thinking found in the pages of Archivaria. To achieve this goal,
Archivaria requires support from its authors, who hold exclusive copyright for
their contributions in the journal up to issue 58.
The current objective is that the contents of issues
1-48 will be freely available through the Association's Web site (www.archivists.ca) within the next six
months. But because we intend to continue to add to the number of
digitized back issues, we request permission from ALL authors up to issue 58.
Emails to the office should indicate clearly your
name, the title of the work(s) in question, and the issue(s) in which they were
published. They should also state clearly that you grant permission to
Archivaria and the ACA to reproduce their works in a digitized version of
Archivaria.
An example of such an email follows.
"I, Robert McIntosh,
give permission to Archivaria and the ACA to include my works as listed below
in digitized reproductions of the Archivaria issues in which these works first
appeared. These works are:
a. "The Great
War, Archives, and Modern Memory", no. 46 (Fall 1998).
b. Review of Ronald
Rudin, Founding Fathers: The Celebration of Champlain and Laval in the Streets
of
c. Review of
Michael J. Childs, Labour's Apprentices: Working-Class Lads in Late Victorian
and Edwardian
We appreciate very much your cooperation in this
project. Please take a few minutes in the next few weeks to send your
email.
Sincerely,
Duncan Grant
Executive Director
Association of Canadian Archivists
