No documents, no history | Trinidad Express Newspaper | Commentaries Last week was Archives Awareness week in T&T. Our National Archives, sometimes called the nation’s best kept secret, organised several activities to raise public knowledge about, and interest in, the nation’s documentary heritage. As I used to tell my UWI students in the first-year course Introduction to History, “No documents, no history”. For most historians, documents—written materials—form the mainstream, the bulk, of their sources. And our National Archives conserve and manage the records created by the colonial and national governments—government or official records being the largest category of surviving documentary sources nearly everywhere. http://bit.ly/UUXARa Source: http://www.trinidadexpress.com/commentaries/No-documents-no-history-182316131.html See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/UUXARa+ 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 List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
