This study concerns the contracting of digital archives for Swedish municipalities and the needs and requirements that govern this. Since the early 2000s, the Swedish government has been interested in expanding the utilization of digital information management. In order to preserve “born digital” official documentation, digital archives are increasingly becoming a necessity for Swedish municipalities. This study considers what the requirements and requests are explicated in formal requirement specifications for such systems. Tobias Edvardssons framework from the book chapter “Kommersiella IT-avtal” (commercial IT-contracts)  in the book “Rättsinformatik” edited by Cecilia Magnusson Sjöberg, as well as grounded theory, is used to discern pertinent categories of requirements. The study finds that the main areas of interest while negotiating a new digital archive can be divided into functional-, qualitative-, governing-, and economic requirements (in accordance with Edvardsson). Archival specifications and technical considerations are also central, as per findings using grounded theory with the support of such models as OAIS and Records Continuum Model.  The study concludes that there still are considerable steps to take before reaching an e-archive solution that can be used on a broad scale to accommodate many different needs and restrictions. However, at the same time, the development of long-term preservation systems for digital records would benefit from more standardized guidelines on a national scale.

The statistics analysis scheme was employed to evaluate the learning performance of learners who perform project-based learning supported by different digital resources based on learning processes, project-based learning outcomes, and questionnaire investigation. Based on the research outcomes, the study confirms the value of digital archives in terms of supporting the project-based learning, and further indicates the role-playing of digital archives in supporting e-learning. The study obtains the following conclusions: 1. The learning performance of the experimental group learners who perform project-based learning processes supported by digital archive resources is superior to the control group learners who perform project-based learning processes supported by search engine resources; 2. The learning satisfactory degree of the experimental group learners who perform project-based learning processes supported by digital archive resources surpasses the control group learners who perform project-based learning processes supported by search engine resources; 3. Compared to the search engine resources, the digital archive resources obviously provide benefit in the action procedure in the proposed project-based learning mode with three learning procedures; 4. Compared to Google search engine resources, performing project-based learning supported by digital archive resources should enhance search performance to promote the user’s willingness while using digital archive to support e-learning.

檔案是政府知識及人類文化紀錄的寶庫，不論對國家社會，乃至個人都有極為重要之意義。檔案應用服務扮演著重要的角色，必須提供便捷的檢索工具與服務，讓使用者容易查詢，進而得以調閱應用檔案，方能充分發揮檔案存在之價值與功能。 參考服務是讀者服務中最重要的一環，是檔案館對外服務工作的門面，對檔案館的聲譽有舉足輕重的影響力。參考服務品質的良窳會影響到檔案典藏單位的形象，使用者對參考服務的滿意度，往往等於是對整個檔案館的滿意度。檔案參考服務的方式，隨著科技與網路的興盛，以及重視個人服務的潮流，除了繼續提供傳統的參考服務方式外，數位方式的線上參考服務主要目的在於能藉助網際網路與通訊的技術達到不限空間、不限時間的理想，提供使用者在遠端進行查詢與檢索。 本研究使用「文獻分析法」、「深度訪談法」及網站內容分析進行檔案參考服務的實施歷程與現況、館員應有之態度與因應、規劃建立之個人資訊化服務及檔案使用者期盼之線上參考服務之趨勢等，以質性研究之方式深入探討並作歸納比較。 本研究以國內四所檔案典藏單位－檔案管理局、國史館、國史館臺灣文獻館、中央研究院近代史研究所檔案館為研究個案，訪談對象為各檔案應用單位之主管或實際負責參考服務之館員及具有多年使用檔案經驗之使用者，分別就檔案參考服務及線上參考服務之現況、觀感及願景等題出建議與看法，以期提供檔案典藏單位參酌實施。 歸納研究結果重點如下： 一、檔案參考服務工作亟待強化，參考服務內容應多元而豐富。 二、參考服務政策與實施程序亟待制定，建立標準化作業規範，俾參考館員與使用者有所依循。 三、逐漸走向線上參考服務的趨勢，強調資料的即時取得性與正確性，並掌握使用者之資訊需求和資訊使用行為。 四、加強訓練館員評估需求和利用網路資訊的能力，注重館員的服務態度與參考問題回答能力等基本素養和核心能力。 五、提升服務品質，落實為讀者服務理念，加強推廣服務的廣度與深度。 六、檔案數位化對參考服務的衝擊。 根據研究結果，本研究提出八項建議如下： 一、整合全國檔案資源與館際合作，應利用數位資源與資訊技術，來統籌全國檔案資源的管理與運用。 二、從使用者觀點建構服務觀，參考服務人員必須理解每位使用者特殊需求的訊息。 三、制定檔案參考服務的作業程序與相關規定，因應檔案館的規模、組織、館藏資料、設館目的與服務對象不同而異。 四、培訓檔案參考服務人員，隨著外在環境的變遷、網路科技的進步，館方要規劃完整的在職教育和參考人員的再學習機制。 五、重視參考服務並規劃多元而豐富的服務事項，儘可能地滿足研究者的研究需求，以建立知識為導向的檔案應用環境。 六、建立遠距即時數位參考諮詢服務，協助讀者搜尋資訊。 七、提供使用者意見回饋管道，儘可能滿足使用者的研究需求。 八、加強推廣與行銷，培養對檔案的認識與素養，促進各界廣泛應用檔案。 關鍵字：檔案參考服務、線上參考服務、檔案應用、數位檔案應用 / Archive is a treasury of government knowledge and humankind culture record. It has a significant meaning for every level from individual to entire nation and society. Archive application plays an essential role, and it is required to provide the convenient tool for searching, therefore enables users to search easily, so that the archive’s value of existing and function can be manifested. Reference service is the most important part in reader service. It represents the image of external service, and has a significant influence on Archives’ reputation as well. The quality of reference service influences the image of Archival Repositories. The reference service satisfaction of a user is oftentimes equivalent to his satisfaction toward the entire Archives. Accompanied with the prosperity of the network technology and the emphasis of personalized service trend, archive reference service not only continues to provide traditional reference service but also has formed up in digital online reference service, with the ideal purpose of reaching without time and space limitations, providing users to inquire and access in a far distance. The research adopts “Documentary analysis”, “In-depth interview”, and Website content analysis methods to analyze the practice of the reference service in the past and present, the attitude and respond of archive personnel to the reference service, the scheme of establishing personalized information service, and the trend of archive users looking forward to the online reference service. The research is based on the qualitative methodology. The four cases studied in this research paper are National Archives Administration, Academia Historica, Taiwan Historica and the Archives of Institute of Modern History of Academia Sinica Interviewees are the super visors, archivists who are in charge of reference service and users who use archival materials frequently. They expressed suggestions on textual reference service and online reference service, their viewpoints,and their visions in the hope of sharing with the archival institutions. The research has six findings concluded as follow： 1. Archive reference service needs to be improved urgently, and its content should aim to be multi-dimensional and abundant. 2. Reference services policy, practical procedure, and standardized practice protocol need to be formed up urgently for the staff and users to follow. 3. It has a gradual tendency toward the online reference service, emphasizing on its imminence and accuracy, and having a good sense of user’s informational need and behavior. 4.

Western archival institutions have both silenced and misrepresented Indigenous peoples in Canada for more than a century. These actions have in turn assisted in the colonization and subjectification of a myriad of Indigenous communities within the colonial construct of Canada. This institutional complicity in the colonization process has recently come under fire. Questions have arisen about how these institutions can be decolonized and how they can be used in partnership with Indigenous peoples to strengthen the Indigenous voices they once silenced. The institutional decolonization of archives becomes especially important when the archival institution in question has been given the responsibility to care for records that relate to gross human rights abuses perpetrated against Indigenous peoples. This is the case for the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at the University of Manitoba, which has a mandate to preserve and share the truths of Residential School Survivors. / May 2017

This thesis addresses the complexity of digitalization and humanities research practices, with a specific focus on digital archives and film history research. I propose the term “Frankenstein Complex” to highlight and contextualize the epistemological collision and empirical challenges humanities scholars encounter when utilizing digital resources with digital methods. A particular aim of this thesis is to scrutinize digital archiving practices when using the Media History Digital Library (MHDL) as a case for a themed meta-inquiry on the preservation of and access to classic horror cinema in this particular digital venue. The project found conventional research methods, such as the close reading of classical cinema history, to be limiting. Instead, the project tried out a distant reading technique throughout the meta-inquiry to better interrogate with the massive volume of data generated by MHDL. Besides a general reassessment of debates in the digital humanities and themes relating to horror film culture, this thesis strives for a reflection on classic horror spectatorship through the lens of sexual identity, inspired by Sara Ahmed’s perspective on queer phenomenology. This original reading of horror history is facilitated by an empirical study of the digital corpus at hand, which in turn gives insights into the entangled relation between subjective identities and the appointed research contexts.

數位影像，尤以數位影片和動畫為目前數位典藏授權模式之主流，惟我國數位典藏計畫執行至今，仍係在「典藏」文物，未達到「推廣」典藏文物之層次。於是，本研究參酌國外教育影音網站之推廣模式，如iTunes U和YouTube EDU等，探討如何利用免費分享的模式，達到有效宣傳影音內容之目的，進而創造出有利的經營模式。 本研究以個案訪談的方式，選擇頑石創意公司和格林文化公司作為探討之對象。研究發現，目前數位影像典藏產業中加值廠商的經營模式，已不再以數位動畫資源作為主要營利來源，改變既有之經營模式才是重點所在，改以數位動畫資源為互補性資源，透過經營模式之改造而使價值網上之參與者的轉變。 研究顯示，頑石創意公司未來之經營模式為舉辦數位文創巡迴展，從原本動畫製造商角色，轉變為文化創意產業發展的整合角色。相對地，格林文化公司則以Telly Bear電子閱讀器做為未來發展的經營模式，惟初期的成功仍會受到後來競爭者模仿、封閉式硬體和軟體等挑戰。 最後的結論與建議，本研究主要針對政府和產業加值廠商方面，自之前的研究論述之中發現的，思考現存的問題。 / This research aims to focus on digital video, because it will be the mainstream of the digital archive in the future. With respect to the lack of promotion of digital archives in Taiwan, this research will examine the promotion model from well-known educational video websites, for example iTunes U and YouTube EDU, and research how free-sharing model works and how to achieve the goal of promotion, and further create a profitable business model. This research will take Bright Ideas Design and Grimm Press as case study companies. The survey reveals that the business models for digital video archives in the industry have changed from digital video based to digital video as complementary asset for the business model. By transforming the business model, it can also transform the participants in the value net of the company. According to the above surveys, the new business model for Bright Ideas Design would be hosting a Digital Creative and Cultural Exhibition Tour, which instead of being an animation producer the company could become an integrator of the creative and cultural industry. In the final part of conclusion and suggestion, this research aims at government and the participants in the industry and provides solutions towards existing problems regarding previously found issues and referred cases.
