      1INTRODUCTION

      "In the interest of knowledge, then, we have every reason to remember the past as fully as we can and to realize that its continued existence in mind is positively a determinant of present actions."

(Richard M. Weaver, Ideas Have Consequences1)

      "The conscious present is an awareness of the past."

(T. S. Eliot, "Tradition and the Individual Talent"2)

      "For history, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do."

(James Baldwin, "The White Man's Guilt"3)

      "Temporal bandwidth" is the width of your present, your now. It is the familiar "At" considered as a dependent variable. The more you dwell in the past and in the future, the thicker your bandwidth, the more solid your persona. But the narrower your sense of Now, the more tenuous you are.

(Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow4)

      "We are forgetting our past faster with each passing year."

(Jean-Baptiste Michel et al.5)

Historians, legal researchers, and others dependent on archives for information and knowledge have increasingly recognized the important role of archivists.СКАЧАТЬ
