This is a critical period, which can be regarded as the formation and transformation of archival science in modern China. My research aims to learn from history in order to promote academic innovation. I have used literature review and content analysis, oral history and textual research, and synchronic and diachronic approach methods to explore and understand the origins and development of archival science in modern China, and improve the interpretation of social functions and theoretical values of archival profession.</p> 2017-07-31T00:00:00-07:00 Copyright (c) 2017 Jing Yan https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/seealso/article/view/188841 The preservation of digital signatures on the blockchain 2019-06-24T16:23:55-07:00 Stephen Thompson tommotom73@gmail.com The blockchain is a distributed network that records digital transactions on a publicly-accessible ledger.<strong> </strong>This paper explores<strong> </strong>whether blockchain technology is a suitable platform for the preservation of digital signatures and key pairs (public and private keys). Conventional infrastructures use digital certificates, issued by certification authorities, to declare the authentication of key pairs and digital signatures. However, this paper suggests that the blockchain’s hash functions can replace those certificates on the grounds of better privacy, that the nature of the network removes the problem of a single point of failure and that hashing is a form of authentication that does not require trust in a third-party authority.

As a result, the social media ecosystem has come to support a diversity of social media platforms to meet various user needs. A unique user need that has recently emerged is the desire for visual communication that is typified by social media platforms such as Pinterest. This briefing examines the emergence of Pinterest as a specific example of a visual social network. The briefing then proposes a framework to develop a social media plan for Pinterest from literature on the use of Pinterest in academic libraries.</p> 2017-08-01T00:00:00-07:00 Copyright (c) 2017 Logan Bingle https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/seealso/article/view/188940 When Reconciliation Meets Conflict: Exploring Indigenous Archives 2019-06-24T16:23:50-07:00 Samuel Mickelson samuel.mickelson@alumni.ubc.ca This article proposes a framework of Indigenous archives that encompasses repositories housed in Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous repositories that care for records by and about Indigenous peoples. The author contends that a discourse of Indigenous archives can help archivists reform their theories and methodologies in ways that support Indigenous sovereignty and ways of knowing. The author makes the case for a discourse of Indigenous archives by using two case studies and reviewing key policy documents such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 2017-08-01T00:00:00-07:00 Copyright (c) 2017 Samuel Mickelson https://ojs.library.ubc.ca/index.php/seealso/article/view/189017 Archival History – Middle Ages 2019-06-24T16:23:53-07:00 Caitlin Lindsay caitlin.lindsay@alumni.ubc.ca This annotated bibliography examines sources which give insight into the history of archives and recordkeeping during the Middle Ages. Because the history of archives is Eurocentric, this bibliography attempts to include archival perspectives outside of Europe, and aims to examine a number of different archival repositories. The bibliography touches on ecclesiastical archives, civic archives, university archives and private archives. Within the sources, themes of power and the importance of social memory are investigated, and organizational change within a variety of different archives is examined. 2017-07-31T00:00:00-07:00 Copyright (c) 2017 Caitlin Lindsay
