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.

Excerpt from book: 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...
