The Role of Evidence in Establishing Trust in Repositories
No full textThis article arises from work by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Working Group examining mechanisms to roll out audit and certification services for digital repositories in the United Kingdom. Our attempt to develop a program for applying audit and certification processes and tools took as its starting point the RLG-NARA Audit Checklist for Certifying Digital Repositories. Our intention was to appraise critically the checklist and conceive a means of applying its mechanics within a diverse range of repository environments. We were struck by the realization that while a great deal of effort has been invested in determining the characteristics of a 'trusted digital repository', far less effort has concentrated on the ways in which the presence of the attributes can be demonstrated and their qualities measured. With this in mind we sought to explore the role of evidence within the certification process, and to identify examples of the types of evidence (e.g., documentary, observational, and testimonial) that might be desirable during the course of a repository audit.

Doughty Donald Ross - fighter for cleared Highlanders: Donald Ross [1813-1882], critic of the Highland Clearances and contemporary of Hugh Miller
No full textMuch has already been written about the Highland Clearances, then and since, foremost among them
Hugh Miller in the Editor’s chair at The Witness, with such still famous leading articles as “Sutherland as it was and is” (1843), and by Donald Macleod and other eyewitnesses, to the savage cruelties of many proprietors.
We are honoured in this edition to bring to public notice the story of another fighter, and recorder of the evictions, Donald Ross, a native of Sutherland, who was simultaneously a successful fundraiser to help
the landless victims.
The author is Donald’s four times great nephew Dr Andrew Ross, Principal Curator of Palæobiology at the National Museums Scotland (NMS), whose very extensive researches enable Andrew here to present Donald’s evidence of atrocities, and his sterling endeavours for the starving evicted tenants.
Andrew has also turned up several important connections with Hugh Miller that he made during these campaigns.
We wish him well in seeking a publisher for a full biography of this fascinating, worthy, but flawed man

She attended Western Teachers College, gaining a Diploma of Infant Teaching, and then graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Diploma in Arts and Education in 1968. Elizabeth came to the Territory with the Commonwealth Teaching Service in 1972 and taught at Gillen primary School, Katherine Area School and Wagaman Primary School.
In 1974 Elizabeth, at the age of 26, was elected to the Legislative Assembly as the Member for Sanderson. This was the Northern Territory's first fully elected Legislative Assembly and Elizabeth was one of the original seven members appointed to executive positions. Elizabeth is the youngest woman to have been elected to the Legislative Assembly to date.
Following her political career, Elizabeth returned to teaching at Howard Springs and Parap Primary Schools before being appointed Administrator of the Northern Territory Arts Council in 1980.
Elizabeth left the Territory in 1986 to accompany her second husband, Patrick Oates, to his naval posting to Canberra. Elizabeth was diagnosed with Ross River fever in 1989 and then with cancer later that year, succumbing to the disease on 12 April 1993. She is survived by her husband Patrick, daughter Edwina, and Stephen, a son by her first marriage.

“Stop the Boats”
No full textIn the lead-up to the 2013 Australian general election, the Liberal/National Party Coalition emphasized a policy surrounding asylum-seekers attempting to arrive in Australia via boat using the slogan of “Stop the Boats”, which was implemented after achieving election victory. The policy received strong criticism for a perceived lack of empathy, evident in many contexts, including the new media phenomenon of Internet memes. As memes are most often used to mock, deride or criticize the target and are seen by many through various social media platforms on which they appear, they have become a successful tool of delegitimization (see Ross & Rivers, 2017a; Ross & Rivers, 2017b). This chapter presents a small selection of memes from the multitude that emerged providing commentary on the “Stop the Boats” policy rhetoric. The memes will be analyzed in accordance with Mackay’s (2015) framework for legitimization by multimodal means from the perspective of delegitimization to demonstrate how memes served to delegitimize the government’s policy rhetoric on asylum-seekers. The chapter will help to unlock the nuances involved in this contemporary form of communication and participation as well as highlight the power residing in Internet memes to make a statement and potentially have an influence on the members of the participatory digital cultures within which they appear
