Archives, Recordkeeping, and Social Justice expands the burgeoning literature on archival social justice and impact. Illuminating how diverse factors shape the relationship between archives, recordkeeping systems, and recordkeepers, this book depicts struggles for different social justice objectives.Discussions and debates about social justice are playing out across many disciplines, fields of practice, societal sectors, and governments, and yet one dimension cross-cutting these actors and engagement spaces has remained unexplored: the role of recordkeeping and archiving. To clarify and elaborate this connection, this volume provides a rigorous account of the engagement of archives and records—and their keepers—in struggles for social justice. Drawing upon multidisciplinary praxis and scholarship, contributors to the volume examine social justice from historical and contemporary perspectives and promote impact methodologies that align with culturally responsive, democratic, Indigenous, and transformative assessment. Underscoring the multiplicity of transformative social justice impacts influenced by recordmaking, recordkeeping, and archiving, the book presents nine case studies from around the world that link the past to the present and offer pathways towards a more just future.Archives, Recordkeeping, and Social Justice will be an essential reading for researchers and students engaged in the study of archives, truth and reconciliation processes, social justice, and human rights. It should also be of great interest to archivists, records managers, and information professionals.

Open space in urban regions is fast disappearing, but it can still be saved by coordinating man's design with the processes of nature. The authors demonstrate here methods that permit better and more profitable economic and industrial development, while raising the quality of life and saving the environment.The problem is all around us, David Wallace observes: "As metropolitan areas grow and Megalopolis takes shape before our eyes, nearby open space where nature predominates seems doomed. Forces apparently beyond our control eliminate all traces of an untouched countryside, and replace it with thousands and thousands and thousands of houses. The pattern of ultimate suburban development finally removes the last vestiges of woods, streams, thickets, and wildlife with the filling of vacant lots carelessly left over from the first great surge of growth. The individual houses that result art perhaps pleasant enough in the micro-scale. But unrelievedly continuous urbanization-even in the case where the individual parts are attractive-appalls, bores, and numbs the senses. . . . Must it be this way?"This study, based on research at the Institute of Environmental Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, suggests how the process of indiscriminate exploitation of open space can be reversed through understanding and application of natural processes in the environment. When these natural processes are understood, planners can discriminate among land that should be retained as open space in a natural state, land that can stand limited development, and land that can be fully developed without significantly affecting natural processes.Contributors: William G. Grigsby, Ian McHarg, William H. Roberts, Ann Louise Strong, Nohad A. Toulan, and David A. Wallace.

This volume widens the perspective of the roles that records play in society. As opposed to most writings in the discipline of archives and records management which view records from cultural, historical, and economical efficiency dimensions, this volume highlights that one of the most salient features of records is the role they play as sources of accountability—a component that often brings them into daily headlines and into courtrooms. Struggles over control, access, preservation, destruction, authenticity, accuracy, and other issues demonstrate time and again that records are not mute observers and recordings of activity. Rather, they are frequently struggled over as objects of memory formation and erasure.The 14 powerful case studies focus around four closely related themes—explanation, secrecy, memory, and trust. They demonstrate how records compel, shape, distort, and recover social interactions across space and time. The diverse range of case studies includes the ownership of the Martin Luther King, Jr. papers, the destruction of records on Nazi war criminals in Canada, the politics of documents in the Iran-Contra affair, the failure of records management in the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the publication of tobacco company documents on the World Wide Web, access to records associated with the U.S. government's infamous Tuskegee syphilis study, the role of the U.S. National Archives in identifying assets looted by the Nazis in the wake of the Holocaust, the destruction of public records by the South African government during apartheid's final years, the construction of foreign relations of the U.S. documentary histories, the forgery corrupting recordkeeping systems, and the collapse of foreign indigenous commercial banks.

Sustain the Fight transforms military logistics from administrative support into strategic warfare. This combat-focused manual shatters the dangerous illusion that logistics officers are “support personnel” operating safely in rear areas, revealing instead their proper role as lethality enablers whose decisions determine victory or defeat in modern warfare.Through four intensive phases, the book addresses the most critical vulnerability in American military preparedness. While logistics officers studied peacetime procedures, adversaries spent decades analyzing U.S. supply dependencies to weaponize them for strategic advantage. Enemy forces now target logistics networks with the same precision previously reserved for capitals, conducting cyberattacks, space-based surveillance, and precision strikes against fuel depots, ammunition storage, and digital systems.The manual develops “logistics warriors” capable of sustaining multi-domain operations when everything goes wrong simultaneously—when cyberattacks corrupt every digital system, when GPS is jammed, when supply routes are interdicted, and when enemy forces specifically hunt logistics personnel for elimination. Each chapter opens with high-intensity combat scenarios, integrates mathematical frameworks for tactical decision-making, and provides immediately applicable Standard Operating Procedures.Key transformations include mastering mission command when communications fail, fighting and winning in cyberspace while sustaining physical operations, building teams that can operate under direct fire, and conducting offensive logistics operations that turn enemy advantages into friendly opportunities. The book prepares officers for warfare spanning from cyberspace to the edge of space against threats involving artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biological warfare. This is logistics warfare for the 21st century, where warriors sustain the fight regardless of what enemies deploy against them.
