0456390TraweekThis award supports the participation of American researchers in a U.S.-Japan joint seminar on developing digital archives and oral histories with Japan's KEK High Energy Accelerator Research Organization to be held in Tsukuba, Japan. The co-organizers are Professor Sharon Traweek at the University of California, Los Angeles and Dr. Yoshinobu Takaiwa at the KEK High Energy Accelerator Research Organization in Japan. The purposes of the meeting are to: 1) gather and evaluate the specific methods and practices used for developing digital archives and for collecting cohort oral histories; 2) develop detailed strategies for achieving these goals; and 3) developing the collaboration to conduct this work. Collecting oral histories of cohorts who have worked together on specific projects or who have been members of an active network of colleagues will provide a significant contribution to the understanding of such cohorts and networks, especially how they have participated in the development of this distributed complexly structured international community of scientists. The methods of conducting these cohort oral histories are an important contribution to the anthropology and history of science and technology. The development of fully digital archives at KEK will provide an important opportunity for understanding how archives with materials in multiple languages and scripts should be designed. Initiating the design of an interactive digital portal for the archive while the archive is still in the formative stages will provide a model of how to establish an archive with open access. The resources of this digital archive will be available to all users worldwide, including other archives. Further, this trans-disciplinary, trans-national project can provide a model for how to bring together researchers from across the spectrum to work together on an important intellectual project of immediate and enduring interest and it can also be a model to other research institutes on how to design such projects for other archives. The co-organizers have complementary scientific expertise in the field. This enables them to evaluate and attract the best researchers to participate. The seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve postdocs and graduate students as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in the field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. Following the seminar the organizers plan to widely disseminate the knowledge base and strategies via a website.

0456390 Traweek该奖项支持美国研究人员参与美国-与日本KEK高能加速器研究组织在日本筑波举行关于发展数字档案和口述历史的日本联合研讨会。 共同组织者是加州大学洛杉矶分校的Sharon Traweek教授和日本KEK高能加速器研究组织的Yoshinobu Takaiwa博士。会议的目的是：1）收集和评估用于开发数字档案和收集队列口述历史的具体方法和做法; 2）制定实现这些目标的详细战略; 3）发展合作以开展这项工作。 收集曾在特定项目上共同工作或曾是活跃的同事网络成员的群体的口述历史，将大大有助于了解这些群体和网络，特别是他们如何参与这一分布广泛、结构复杂的国际科学家群体的发展。 这些群体口述历史的方法是对人类学和科学技术史的重要贡献。 科索沃能源公司完全数字化档案的开发将提供一个重要机会，使人们了解应如何设计具有多种语言和文字材料的档案。 在档案馆仍处于形成阶段时着手设计档案馆的互动数字门户，将为如何建立开放存取的档案馆提供一个模式。 这一数字档案的资源将提供给全世界所有用户，包括其他档案。 此外，这个跨学科、跨国家的项目可以提供一个模型，说明如何将各个领域的研究人员聚集在一起，共同致力于一个具有直接和持久利益的重要智力项目，它也可以成为其他研究机构如何为其他档案馆设计此类项目的模型。 共同组织者在该领域具有互补的科学专门知识。 这使他们能够评估和吸引最好的研究人员参与。 研讨会的组织者作出了特别努力，让博士后和研究生作为与会者和观察员参加。 与该领域的日本专家交流想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。 研讨会之后，组织者计划通过一个网站广泛传播知识库和战略。
