Article - Hilary Jenkinson
[edit]The page seems well written and informed. I plan to add the following:
- Family relations - Spouse, parents, children
- Jenkinson was integral in preserving records during World War II, adding text to the career section to highlight this without sounding too bias.
- Legacy tidbits
Also, plan to tidy up and grammar issues and improve the flow of the article.
Career
[edit]Born in Streatham, London, Jenkinson was the son of William Wilberforce Jenkinson, a land agent and Alice Leigh Bedale.[1] He was educated at Dulwich College and Pembroke College, Cambridge, graduating with first class honours in Classics in 1904. In 1906 he joined the staff of the Public Record Office and worked on the classification of the records of the medieval Exchequer. In 1912 he was put in charge of the search room, which he reorganised. During the First World War, he joined the Royal Garrison Artillery, and served in France and Belgium from 1916 to 1918. He then worked at the War Office until 1920.[2]
Returning to the Public Record Office, he reorganised the repairing department and later the repository, to which he moved in 1929. He was appointed secretary and principal assistant keeper in 1938, then Deputy Keeper (chief executive officer) from 1947 until 1954, when he retired.[2]
In 1944–5 he paid several extended visits to Italy, Germany and Malta as War Office Adviser on Archives, attached to the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Subcommission, playing an important role in helping protect the archives of those countries from the worst of the depredations of war.[3][4][5] In 1947, Jenkinson, along with H.E. Bell, advocated for the protection and preservation of a country's archives even during times of war.[6]
He lectured on palaeography, diplomatic and archives in Cambridge, King's College London and University College London. He wrote a number of books on palaeography and diplomatic, and his Manual of Archive Administration (1922; revised edition 1937) became a highly influential work on archival practice in Britain and Ireland.
Early in his career Jenkinson served as Honorary Secretary of the Surrey Archaeological Society. He took a leading part in establishing its daughter organisation, the Surrey Record Society, in 1912; and thereafter, as secretary and general editor until 1950, in establishing its principles of editing and records publication.[7] He was a founder, Joint Honorary Secretary (1932–47) and Vice-President (1954–61) of the British Records Association; President of the Jewish Historical Society of England (1953–55); and President of the Society of Archivists (1955–61). He also played an important role in the setting up of the National Register of Archives in 1945.
Legacy
[edit]Jenkinson influenced the University of London to create an archives degree program. He would later present the first lecture in the archives degree program.[8] After his death, Oliver W. Holmes wrote in the American Archivist that Jenkinson's work became a reference source for all inexperienced staff.[9] Since 2007, the Department of Information Studies at University College London has hosted an annual Jenkinson Lecture named in honour of Sir Hilary. The series was established to mark the 60th anniversary of archival education at UCL.[10]

Article evaluation
[edit]Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
[edit]The article is well written and describes various methods of digital curation. It also contains a core principles section that I found useful. There where no distractions on the page.
Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
[edit]The article is neutral and even presents the challenges facing digital curation.
Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
[edit]The article seems well-balanced.
Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
[edit]Not all the references work. The second citation is over 12 years old and the PDF it is suppose to link to no longer exists. The last reference is also linking to a dead site.
Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
[edit]Since not all the links work, descriptions may not have proper references. The majority of the information comes from trade journals or other profession based publications.
Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
[edit]I believe that some of the Challenge section information can certainly be updated to reflect some of the more modern challenges face by information professionals.
Check out the Talk page of the article. What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
[edit]Much of the recent discussion is regarding reorganization of the article or updates to the external links.
How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
[edit]The article is rated C and is part of the following project: Libraries, Digital Preservation and Collections Care.
How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
[edit]Wiki treats digital curation as it should. It defines the topic clearly and for a wide ranging audience. Our class discusses what digital curation is on a much more detailed level.
