For other uses of the word "Archive", see Archive (disambiguation)

Archives refers to a collection of records, and also refers to the location in which these records are kept. Archives are made up of records which have been created during the course of an individual or organisation's life. In general an archive consists of records which have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation. Records, which may be in any media, are normally unpublished, unlike books and other publications. Archives may also be generated by large organizations such as corporations and governments. The highest level of organization of records in an archive is known as the fonds. Archives are distinct from libraries insofar as archives hold records which are unique. Archives can be described as holding information "by-products" of activities, while libraries hold specifically authored information "products". The word 'archives' is the correct terminology, whereas 'archive' as a noun or a verb is related to computer science. *

Etymology


The word archives (pronounced Ar-kives) is derived from the Greek arkhé meaning government or order (compare an-archy, mon-archy). The word originally developed from the Greek "arkheion" which refers to the home or dwelling of the Archon, in which important official state documents were filed and interpreted under the authority of the Archon.

Mathematical Logic
George Tourlakis Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000
  Mathematical Logic presents mathematical or "symbolic" logic as a reliable tool for deductive reasoning. It trains the student in both the established "Hilbert" style of writing proofs in mathematics, as well as in the emerging "equational" style that finds fruitful application in computer science curricula, especially in the areas of software engineering and program correctness. There are extensive sets of examples, Read More...
Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering
Gordon A. Fenton, D. V. Griffiths Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000
  The increasing sophistication of buildings and bridges demand new analytical techniques. Reliability-based design is a well established technique in the structural and mechanical engineering communities that is now gaining momentum among geotechnical engineers. This book introduces an innovative reliability-based method for risk assessment in geotechnical engineering that allows engineers to create a better model for analyzing the properties and possible Read More...
