    • Some archivists, especially those currently entering the field, seem well aware that their colleagues need to explore further the state-based framework of their profession, and understand more fully the ways even state archives may be grounded in societal values.

    • In October 1999, the "Public Interest Declassification Act" was introduced in the U.S. Congress to address this problem. It was sponsored by Senator Patrick Moynihan, who had been known as a supporter of broad declassification reform. This bill addressed only special searches around specific incidents, such as the records related to Pinochet, the American church women murdered in Central America, and the Kennedy assassination. The declassification authorized by this bill was only of selected documents, not entire record groups. It was strongly opposed by the Association of American Historians and the American Historical Association, which argued that it would not in any productive way "advance the imperative of agencies to declassify all but the most sensitive of their older records that are of historical significance."

    • This was the subject of an important suit brought against the U.S. Federal Government by the National Security Archive, a nongovernmental, nonprofit research institute and library of federal documents, with the support of the American Historical Association, among others. The director of the U.S. Presidential Library system had ruled that only electronic messages that had been printed out and retained by the White House could be considered "official records" and subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. National Archives. On August 6, 1996, a Federal Appeals Court reversed a lower court ruling favorable to the plaintiffs, and declared in a split decision that the U.S. National Security Agency, acting under the direction and direct supervision of the President, was not a federal agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act and did not have to manage its records in accordance with the Federal Records Act. See the authoritative but as yet unpublished Dissertation by David A. Wallace, "The Public's Use of Federal Record Keeping Statutes to Shape Federal Information Policy: A Study of the PROFS Case," (Ph.D. Diss., University of Pittsburgh, 1997).

    • In the Kennedy case, Evelyn Lincoln was charged with sifting through all sorts of Kennedy papers and memorabilia, but neither she nor anyone working directly with her had any archival training or background. See Robert M. Adler, "The Public Controversy over the Kennedy Memorial Project," unpublished paper presented at the Sawyer Seminar on Archives, Documentation and the Institutions of Social Memory, University of Michigan, March, 2001.

Among other virtues of this book is its detailed discussion of the celebrated case of the young American historian of Weimar Germany, David Abraham, whose use of archival sources was the object of a furious, and, in my view, grossly unjust critique by several senior historians holding views Abraham challenged. As a result, a decision to grant him tenure by Princeton University was reversed, and he was forced to leave the profession.

    • Since the opening of Soviet-period materials to Western scholars in the late 1980s, I have been distressed several times to find that archival documents referenced in prominent earlier monographs on the Bolshevik revolution said precisely the opposite of what had been argued, but this has been the case with Western historians whose citations I have checked as well.
