Nounarchives
Verbarchives
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An archive is a collection of historical records, and the location in which the collection is kept. Archives contain records (primary source documents) which have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime. The archives of an individual may include letters, papers, photographs, computer files, scrapbooks, financial records or diaries created or collected by the individual – regardless of media or format. The archives of an organization (such as a corporation or government) tend to contain other types of records, such as administrative files, business records, memos, official correspondence and meeting minutes. In general, archives consist of records which have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation, due to their enduring research value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings. Archives are sometimes described as information generated as the "by-product" of normal human activities, while libraries hold specifically authored information "products". A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. Archivists tend to prefer the term 'archives' (with an S) as the correct terminology to serve as both the singular and plural, since 'archive,' as a noun or a verb, has meanings related to computer science.

Asked by unknown - Wed Jun 17 11:54:27 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. try www.loc.gov It's the Library of Congress, and they have everything about everything there. Photos, maps, oral histories, original documents. Once you get there, you'll have to search around for what you specifically want, but it's pretty easy to navigate. The only problem is, it leads you from one interesting thing to another and, if you're not careful, you can get caught up in all the research and spend all day there.

I need to find the date of a specific conversation that i had on another computer, so this is not in my archives and i dont think it is on the other computer either. Is there any way to view old conversations besides througth your archives? Asked by Courtney B - Wed Feb 21 22:21:04 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hmm, not that I know of. I believe the conversation is stored only on the computer you have it on. I have Messenger on my computer at home and also at work. None of my archieve from any conversations at home show up on my work Messenger and visa versa, but I use the exact same sin-in name. So as gfar as I know, no, sorry..

Q. i was part of a tragedy that happened in oklahoma on january 19,1982, which made several big headlines. i have been unable to find the news articles relating to this on the net and would like to find them. the daily oklahoman has a site for archives but they charge almost $10 dollars to see it for only 1 day. i no longer reside in oklahoma, if i did i would check the library newspaper archives. i did however find it mentioned in a couple of saftey sites as a reference but not the actual news stories. any ideas?
