Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course Archival Science I is to provide students with elementary principles of archival theory and methodology in perspective of European and historical context. Its goal is also to inform about history of development of archives since the period of Middle Ages and their current organization. Special attention is paid to specialized archival legislation in its historical development comparing to legislation in other European countries. Emphasis is placed on changed paradigms of the discipline with respect to massive use of e-documents and information technologies in general. They are bringing new possibilities in registering and copying of archival records but at the same time certain problems with providing safe and long-term deposition of digital documents.
Students are able to characterize the essence of archiving and the purpose of archives. Students have a comprehensive understanding of the historical development of archives and archiving, not only in a global context, but especially with regard to their history in the Bohemian lands. Students are able to characterize the changes in archiving in the Bohemian lands and explain the context and essence of changes in the organization of archiving in the Czech Republic. They are also able to provide an overview of our current network of archives and its current tasks. Students also have a command of the basic characteristics of sources stored in archives (especially written sources).
