Beyond the Walls and Changing the Space of Archive Through the Lens of The Adler Museum of Medicine in South Africa

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Drawing from the Adler Museum of Medicine in South Africa, this paper briefly provides an overview of the Center’s, functions and policies that governs the archives housed at the museum. The paper examines how archival practice through digitization strengthens or undermines provenance and original order. It analyses the migration to digitization of objects, the procedures, conditions, and reasons that influence the choice to include or exclude medical archives, and how they incorporate these insights into their digital archives’ design, functionality, and affordance. Based on oral history, archival sources, documentaries, and interviews in South Africa, this paper argues that since COVID-19, the medical museum archives are simultaneously trying to digitize their holdings and maintain the physical originals. However, there are ethical concerns on digitalization and concerns amongst Archives and Records Management (ARM) practitioners about a coming digital dark age: a phenomenon where a significant amount of crucial archival information is lost due to both rapid digitization of information and lack of reliable long-term preservation methods
