I highly suggest that folks read the following blog post. Lawrence has written about how records and archives are a key factor in this case. lots of good links in the story peterk Finding Jimmy Savile: the Shaw report haunts England’s Archives | Politics, Statesmanship, Philosophy Shaw is a name well known to archivists because he looked at the record keeping in Scottish Children’s homes. For most people, the surface connection is the theme of exploited children. The deeper connection, though, is the role of archives and its power to shape our collective memory. Like the Hillsborough report<http://hillsborough.independent.gov.uk/repository/report/HIP_report.pdf>, the Savile case will likely lead to recommended changes in archival practices. Before we consider the future of archives, though, we need to consider the evidence. http://bit.ly/RwWrLP Source: http://lawrenceserewicz.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/finding-jimmy-savile-the-shaw-report-haunts-englands-archives/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/RwWrLP+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=archives-nra
