Construction of the book on collecting that I\u2019m writing with Peter Tolmie, is now well underway. However, this Personal Document Management section of the OFC website doesn\u2019t seem an appropriate place to report on the development of such a wide-ranging text. Instead, I shall record details of our progress in the Order from Chaos section of this blog.<\/p>\n

This journey on Personal Document Management has nearly run it’s 40 year+ course. I summarised my findings on that extended trial in some entries a few years ago<\/a>; and there is only one remaining aspect that I am actively investigating \u2013 to find a permanent repository for the PAWDOC collection. Its going to be challenging: despite contacting several possible institutions over the last seven years, and publicising my goal in various forums, I\u2019ve had no success so far. Just to be clear, this is what I\u2019m offering:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The PAWDOC digital collection of 31,000 documents dating mainly from 1972 to the present day, fully labelled, and documented in 17,300 index entries; and all of them in Windows folders under the control of an established Digital Preservation maintenance regime.
    \n    \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Two archive boxes of some 330 PAWDOC items that were judged worthy of keeping in hardcopy form, and for which the reasons for keeping were recorded in a spreadsheet and described in the unpublished journal paper ‘IV in PIM: The applicability of Intrinsic Value in Personal Information Management’<\/a>.
    \n    \"\"
    \n<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. A few other associated documents that could be included with the collection, such as a leather-bound volume of 63 reports of visits to UK, European and US organisations during the period 1979 -1982;\u00a0 a bound copy of the organisational documents, proceedings of, and delegates to, the first European CSCW conference in 1989; a bound copy of reports on, proceedings of, and delegates to, the first US CSCW conference in 1986; a signed and bound copy of \u2018The Network Nation\u2019 by Hiltz & Turoff annotated with notes for the 1983 book \u2018Introducing the Electronic Mailbox\u2019; and copies of the books \u2018Sorties into the IT Hurricane\u2019 and \u2018Meteor: a story of stamp collecting in the eye of the IT hurricane\u2019.
