This work aims to discuss how photographic document's specificity needs particular attention when those materials are integrated into an archive. For that, we propose to initially discuss the primary aspects that define an archival document to further on typify contemporary archives and how photographic materials began to be integrated by those institutions. That issue requires a reflection about the relations between photographic image representation and archival documentary authenticity; and between photographic image representation and the alleged "veracity" of the photographic information. The clarification of the problems posed by that discussion achieves the existent contrast between the two main organization models for photographic pictures in archives: by issue topics (of librarian inspiration and greater use) and by context (more adequate to archives). The archival contextualization arises, many times, as the only alternative for the comprehension of dubious images, images with illusion effects, or with extremely generic information. Finally, we present examples of archival organization for the three types of archival photographic materials occurrences: photographic pictures integrated to other documents (e.g. in a dossier); isolated photographic pictures as a final result of an action (e.g. pictures of a public agency’s communication office); as well as photographic pictures gathered as a collection, without any organic relation to an administrative producer. We conclude that archival principles, mainly in the case of photographic picture in archives, are most of the times the only guarantee to a correct comprehension of documents’ meaning.

There is consensus in Turkey that the archiving studies started in the second half of the XIXth century. The historical signs of these studies go back to beginning of the XVth century. It is seen that there is necessity for modern archiving since the documents preserved in sealed sacks and chests in rolls has died out because of negligence and bad conditions. These studies had been continued only with a view to preservation-protection with various attempts until the declaration of Turkish Republic. In this period; the most important attempt in Turkish archiving was founding Hazine-i Evrak in 1846 and collecting the governmental documents there. In Turkish Republic period; the Turkish National Assembly protected the documents of Bab-ı Ali Hazine-i Evrakı, important ministries and institutions after the abolition of Ottoman Sultanate on November 1, 1922. On March 1, 1923, “Mahzen-i Evrak Mümeyyizliği”, which was attached to the Office of the Executive Assistant of Turkish National Assembly Cabinet of Government Ministers, was founded. This situation formed the core of today’s General Directorate of State Archives. The documents taken over from the Ottoman Empire and the documents produced by the institutions of Turkish Republic had been passed through various cleaning and destruction methods until 1931. The most important one of this is; the sale of nearly 1,5 million documents, most of which belonging to the Ministry of Finance, 30-50 tons in weight, to Bulgaria in May 1931 and the developments after this event. This event was experienced due to “negligence and indifference” and “deficiency of regulations” which had caused loss of many documents before. After this distressing event, legal precautions for not destructing of the state documents were taken, but the private archives were not included in the frame of these precautions. In order not to experience such events, controlling important – unimportant governmental documents of private persons and institutions and taking necessary legal precautions for using them against to the government are necessary. In this study, suggestions about these precautions will be presented and evaluations on the subject will be made.

The universe is an artifact, the work of the cosmic architect. Culture is also an artifact, the product of human nature and thought. Items of cultural heritage include the ecosystem, the conditioned natural resources, its inhabitants, their creations like text, image, sound, performing arts, sculptures, buildings, ornaments, utensils and the like and well as the knowledge related to them. Most of them are built up or created from the sweat and blood of the common people. So the heritage items are the common property of the whole population the region. It is the greedy and wealthy minority who in the name of industrialization and development, which is beneficial only to them, are destroying the heritage and from this what the majority will get is only one time return as employment for a short period. But the majority is selling the wealth of all their future generations, their life support systems. So heritage conservation is a common man’s requirement. The paper examines how ICT can be utilized to document, watch and manage, and create awareness on heritage items including natural resource, knowledge, text and a wide varieties of artifacts of great value that help to sustain life.

Records systems are one of the most important component of e-government applications. Reliable permanent and shareable data tranfer among institutions by records systems formed in government institutions requires to select data systems and data structures among solutions depending on open standarts.

V.N. de Famalicão (Portugal) is indebted to Vasco de Carvalho(1888-1961).

This paper presents several case studies and focuses on good practices concerning the creation of digital content. The technical, methodological and economic elements of the digitization projects, which the University of Cyprus Library undertook in co-operation with other academic libraries and counterparts, are also presented. The projects concern the digitization and documentation of archives and collections of printed and audiovisual material, which aim at the preservation of cultural heritage and simultaneously in setting the infrastructure for knowledge management. Through the digitization practices, problems and solutions are demonstrated in three complementary levels. a) The technical level (choice, convertibility of formats and metadata, complementarity of management tools). b) The methodological level (followed procedures and standard) and c) The organisational level of co-ordinating the libraries collaboration (ensuring continuation in the development and the availability of digital content, avoiding repetitions and overlaps, accumulation of efforts, saving resources). Through the presentation of the technological and methodological choices followed for the digitization projects of the University of Cyprus Library useful practices are demonstrated and the needs are identified concerning Academic Libraries collaboration in their new fields of activities.

The aim of this document ("The public library as a determinant factor for the people's utilization (use, usefulness N.Tr.)of the laws of transparency and access to public information") is to present a proposal that allows to assess the participation of public libraries as a determinant factor for the people's utilization (use, usefulness, N.Tr.) of the laws of transparency and access to the public information in Mexico. The results of more than three years of experience on the subject are presented and a main area of opportunity is detected: the marginalization of the potential users of those laws because they lack of Internet access. From this proposal it is stated the attention to harmonise the functions of the public library with the services potential users require from the laws of transparencey and access to public government information. The electronic systems of public information requests are highlighted as central elements of the positive results that have been obtained in the federal government as for the access to public information, and they are shown as a suitable opportunity to make easy the utilization (use, usefulness, N.Tr.) of this right to those who have not exercised it due to the their lack of guidance and the resources to make it.
