Detecting and characterising transmission from legacy collection catalogues
No full textCatalogue records underpin the audit, curatorial, and public access functions of collecting institutions. And they are relied upon by many humanities researchers, and increasingly those looking to analyse collection holdings at scale. However, far from being a neutral record of collection holdings, catalogues are the products of cataloguing labour, often spanning many decades, and so are subject to various biases and inequities. Understanding how collection catalogues are shaped by their histories is then crucial for addressing many of the contemporary challenges faced by cataloguing professionals and for enhancing their use in humanities research, as well as for opening up new directions for historical research. This paper contributes a computationally-based approach for generating new and important knowledge about catalogues, in particular for investigating how a catalogue is shaped by an earlier one. We contend that understanding at scale the transmission of records and style from one catalogue to another requires the use of computational techniques to detect and analyse the various ways in which transmission manifests across a catalogue. Our case study concerns the transmission of Mary Dorothy George’s voice through time, across space, and between mediums, from the 1930s to the late-twentieth century and beyond, from the British Museum in London to the Lewis Walpole Library in Farmington, Connecticut, from printed volumes to networked digital data. It aims to show how transmission happens, how it can be found, and how it can be characterised. Understanding transmission is important because cataloguers like George are the interlocuters between us and the pasts they described, legacy voices that refuse to stay in their historical place, and whose raced, sexed, and classed influence on the future should not go unchecked.Our contributions are relevant both for historical research into catalogues and cataloguing, knowledge organisation and infrastructure, and cultural organisations, and for cataloguing practitioners seeking to rationalise/review their catalogues to improve user experience, address systemic inequalities in object representation, and develop best practice for future work. Furthermore, in broad terms, by contributing to the generation of new knowledge about the biases/inequities of catalogues our work will enable new and better research into the collections that catalogues describe.<br/

"Strike them hard!" The Baker Massacre play
No full textviii, 126 leaves ; 28 cm. --The oral tradition of story-telling among the Blackfoot is still strong. However, in order
to keep the tradition alive for future generations, educators are beginning to step outside
the box to allow for innovative ways to bring the stories back to life for students. By
writing a play about the 1870 Baker Massacre, and staging it with Blackfoot students
from the Kainai Board of Education school system, I have successfully found another
way to engage First Nation students from Kindergarten through grade 12. This is the first
time the story of the Baker Massacre has been told from the perspective of Blackfoot
children. A good portion of the research was taken from oral accounts of actual
descendents of the survivors of the massacre. Most of the survivors were young children,
including my great-great grandmother, Holy Bear Woman. The Baker Massacre became
a forgotten and lost story. However, by performing this play to an audience of
approximately 1000 over the course of six performances, including a debut performance
in New York City, there is a good chance that this story will not fall into obscurity again.
The process of researching, writing and staging this play also had a major impact on my
own personal healing and well-being. I lost my oldest daughter to suicide in 2006. The
historical trauma of the Baker Massacre triggered my own personal trauma of my
daughter’s suicide. However, as painful as the process was, I gained a new-found strength
to continue on with my own healing journey. The personal narrative that accompanies
this play honours the process of playwriting, while the play celebrates the product. The
play is about the resiliency of the ancestors of the Blackfoot. By sharing their story, my
hope is that our Aboriginal children today will recognize that they come from a powerful
ancestry who never gave up
