With chapters from established and emerging scholars in the field
of archival studies, Disputed Archival Heritage extends and
enriches the conversation that started with the earlier volume,
Displaced Archives. Advancing novel theories and methods for
understanding disputes and claims over archives, the volume
includes chapters that focus on Indigenous records in settler
colonial states; literary and community archives; sub-national and
private sector displacements; successes in repatriating formerly
displaced archives; comparisons with cultural objects seized by
colonial powers; and the relationship between repatriation and
reparations. Analysing key concepts such as joint heritage and
provenance, the contributors unsettle Western understandings of
records, place and ownership. Disputed Archival Heritage speaks to
the growing interest in shared archival heritage, repatriation of
cultural artefacts and cultural diasporas. As such, it will be a
useful resource for academics, students and practitioners working
in the field of archives, records, and information management, as
well as cultural property and heritage management, peace and
conflict studies and international law.
Displaced archives have long been a problem and their existence
continues to trouble archivists, historians and government
officials. Displaced Archives brings together leading international
experts to comprehensively explore the current state of affairs for
the first time. Drawing on case studies from around the world, the
authors examine displaced archives as a consequence of conflict and
colonialism, analysing their impact on government administration,
nation building, human rights and justice. Renewed action is
advocated through considerations of the legal approaches to
repatriation, the role of the international archival community,
'shared heritage' approaches and other solutions. The volume offers
new theoretical, technical and political insights and will be
essential reading for practitioners, academics and students in the
field of archives, cultural property and heritage management, as
well as history, politics and international relations.

archives management as an essential basis for demonstrating
integrity in government, this excellent volume brings together
scholars and practicing archivists to discuss key issues around
records as evidence for accountability, transparency and the

importance of records management for effective governance and
digital records management and preservation in developing
countries. Case studies from across Africa enhance the theoretical
and practical perspectives taken by the authors. This book is
essential reading for scholars and students interested in records
management and good governance around the world.

young gopher, which the providence of Abram had provided. Meanwhile
the master-spirit who had raised the storm which even he could not
now allay, had he desired so to do, with bowed head, and face
cunningly hid in the folds of his hunting-shirt, that the people
might not see his exultation, slowly left the council-house, and
took his way, by one of the numerous cross trails intersecting the
plain, to a distant part of the town. CHAPTER III. ITUNWAII. A
Celebrated Seminole chief, discoursing upon the peculiarities of
his people, once quaintly said, " Indians are like fleas,?put your
finger on 'em, and they are not there." There is truth in the
remark, however we may understand -it. Nowhere in history do we
find accounts of such a remarkable race of savages, who talk so
wisely yet act so foolishly, whose movements are so capricious, and
whose character is such a singular mixture of good and evil,?the
heroic and the abject, the grotesque and the dignified. Not
destitute of virtues, the Indian is prone to the lowest vices. He
is patient, eloquent, and hospitable ; he has fortitude, courage,
and firmness ; but he will lie and steal, and drink to the worst
excess, is treacherous, cruel, and ungrateful, untamable as the
hyena, and implacable as the viper. 9 A species of land tortoise
found in the pine-barrens of Florida. Says Irving, in his Sketch
Book, " There is something in the character and habits of the North
American savage, taken in connection with the scenery over which he
is accustomed to range,?its vast lakes, boundless forests, majestic
rivers, and trackless plains,?that is, to my mind, wonderfully
striking and sublime. He is formed for the wilderness, as the Arab
is for the desert. His nature is stern, simple, and enduring;
fitted to grapple with difficultie...
