Thesis The significance Library and Archives Canada is the preservation of Canadian history. Introduction Without the protection of Library and Archives Canada, Vital documentation of Canadian History Act could be lost. The significance of the Library and Archives of Canada is that it holds every important document this country was built on and more including Constitutional laws and all the past and current amendments made. Library and Archives Canada also contains the Census of Canadian citizens
Preservation and Conservation Methods Preservation is a crucial element in the whole operation of a records programmed. The aim of archival preservation is to prolong the usable life of useful research information in two ways. First, preventive preservation seeks to reduce risks of damage and to slow down the rate of deterioration. This aim is usually accomplished by selecting good quality materials and by providing suitable storage environments and safe handling procedures. Secondly, prescriptive
management. 1.0 INTRODUCTION. At present very important information, an archive is another agency of information, agencies should deal of information in a systematic way. So now, we want to focus on the effective management of archival institutions Malaysia. Archival institutions can either term "archive" or "manuscript repositories" depending on the type of documentary material that contains and how it is obtained. "Archives" have their traditional institutions responsible for the care of long-term
The Olympic Games plays a significant role in the world. The relationship between it and host countries is important to investigate for comprehending cultural studies. According to Xu and Kirby (2008), the Olympic Games has a considerable impact on the expression of national identity. For example, London applied this approach to promote its national identity. This can be discovered from the BBC video called James Bond escorts The Queen to the opening ceremony in 2012 (2012): an amiable identity is
1.0 Introduction Digital information in China defined as information or records that are created in digital device and environment, also in digital format used device such as computer for access and process it (Liu, 2013). According to Voutssas (2012), digital preservation is the process of maintaining digital information using technology according to established policies and procedures as told by InterPARES (2006). National Archive of China and Latin America faced several problems in order to establish
value. Since the introduction of the computer, archivists have been concerned about its impact on their profession's mission. Based on report by the National Archives of Canada on machine-readable data stated that "if one were to take the traditional archival approach of waiting for whatever recorded information came out of the system, then the archivist in the electronic age will undoubtedly die of information starvation."23 Over the past decade archivists have tried to redefine their role in the modern
archives to the public in order to strengthen the management of audiovisual archives. NAM should give the exposure to the government agencies and public of their responsibilities in managing audiovisual archives to the national heritage. To improve archival work is a shared responsibility among the entire community. It should be supported by mass media and social networks since it is the concerned of the society in order to raise awareness to people especially with the interest on national heritage
Defining the research methodology to be used is fundamental for the researcher, since it guides and allows the most appropriate strategy planning to reach the objectives of the dissertation project. The research methodology can be seen as a set of multiple layers (Figure 9), starting with the research philosophies, followed by approaches, strategies, choices, time horizons, and techniques and procedures. Philosophies According to the authors, practical considerations influence the philosophy to adopt
fact that was known and generally accepted by the general public. In my essay I will discuss how the “old” knowledge was affected when there were new aspects of particular knowledge discovered. I will focus on two areas of knowledge: The natural sciences and the arts and I will ask myself: To what extend can new knowledge contributes to abundance of old, generally recognised facts? Today’s medicine fully understands how human blood circulation works. However in Ancient Greece people believed that
Research indicates that efforts to reconcile science and practice in psychology since the Boulder conference in 1949 have mostly failed (Hayes, 1999). The scientist-practitioner (SP) ideal claims that practitioners should consume new research, evaluate their own methods as well as research and share their findings with other practitioners and scientists (Hayes et al, 1999). The SP gap has implications in a managed-care system in that it can make professionals accountable, ensures research is relevant
In his paper Desire and the Human Good, Richard Kraut argues that the typical defense for pluralism, Desire Satisfaction Theory, is too weak; subsequently Kraut offers his own alternative. In this paper I will explain Desire Satisfaction Theory as Kraut opposes it, defend the objections made by Kraut against Desire Satisfaction Theory, and evaluate his alternative theory. In ancient greek philosophies such as platonic, aristotelian, stoic and epicurean, as well as in medieval christian philosophies
1. Interpretations Of The Technological Change A definition of Science is the knowledge of nature that can be replicated and tested because it is published. In addition it is usually applied in universities and some firms. It utilizes ceteris paribus and the findings can be generalized. On the other hand technology is the non-codified application of knowledge and therefore difficult to reproduce or imitate. Connections between science and technology (S&T henceforth) have baffled many historians and
1 Australopithecus afarensis who existed 3.5 million years ago and a 4.4 million year old skeleton of an Ardipithecus ramidus are the closest science has come to discovering the human lineage. Shattered Ancestry an article written by Katherine Harmon discusses the remains of two hominids found within Ethiopia. These skeletal remains have created a huge controversy within the topic of evolution questioning many assumptions that have been made referencing the human lineage. The skeleton of the Australopithecus
Therefore in the field of history, the knowledges always change. However in history knowledge is only “sometimes” discarded since the new theories might be built on old theories, which is done by making it better which then becomes the new theory. As for science when something is proven it is most probably right since tests have to be done.

knowledge in the fields of the natural sciences and history causes the discarding of older and previously held knowledge will be explored. It is important to understand that the definition of knowledge is justified, true, belief. The central knowledge issue that arises from this exploration, is that the discovery/ development of new knowledge cause things that were previously held as knowledge to be discarded. This knowledge issue will be explored across the natural sciences and history. Throughout this essay

Since the first seeds sowed, humanity has sought to change the world around them; with this desire, technological advances continue to alter the world around humans. Every advancement comes with the benefit and its drawback. These setbacks create new problems to solve, and new complications after the solution. Still, humanity desires constant improvement to their condition. The cyclical nature of this arrangement brought about humans from hunting and gathering to the moon and the internet. Feats
this day many companies continue to use animals for product and drug testing. Evidently, animal testing is a very controversial issue in the science and animal advocacy communities; as it serves as a safer and cost- efficient way to test new medicines and product lines. However, many will argue it is an unethical and inhumane way to treat animals, as science has made tremendous strides in evolution and can change their methods. With that being said, which argument holds more weight, cost and safety
that knowledge which was accepted as justified true belief can sometimes be discarded tomorrow because knowledge claims can be improved or replaced by new ones. Thus, in this essay, I will explore the extent to which this claim appertains to natural science, history and ethics. I will also consider how the dynamics of these disciplines are affected by external factors. First of all, the "once" "accepted" might have had errors or replaced by new theories. However, on the other hand it would also mean
What was society like before the discovery of technology ? Technology shapes our society in many different ways. Before the invention of the Internet, people would have to use typewriters to write what is known today as an email. Delivery mail would be by a man on a horse instead of by a mail carrier in a mail truck. Before television, children would have to play outside with one another. Technology not only made people lazy, but also increased the obesity rate in young children. How is technology
