Thank You David B. Gracy, II

Like many archivists, I was saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. David B. Gracy, II. I met Dr. Gracy many times and always enjoyed our conversations.

Indirectly, it is because of Dr. Gracy that I became interested in publishing. He founded the journal Georgia Archive, now Provenance, which is where I first started as a peer-reviewer and then editor. When I started as Editor, I learned that for several years many advocated to put all the back issues online. Working with many people, this was finally accomplished. Though I heard from many people how appreciative they were for the resource, Dr. Gracy’s note to me is always my most treasured: “I could not be more pleased, and fulfilled for the role of the journal in contributing to advancement of the archival enterprise.” Of course, the credit goes more to Dr. Gracy for starting the journal.

Thank you Dr. Gracy for your unending dedication to archives and for being an inspiration to us all.

Special New Issue: Provenance

When I was still Provenance Editor, I started the process of a special audiovisual issue. From the start, then Associate Editor and now Editor Heather Oswald took the reigns. I’m excited to see it is now available!

What makes this issue different is that some of the content is audiovisual “articles.” The goal was to not have a print/text only issue, but experiment with AV as content. I hope to see more of this not just in Provenance but other journals as well!
