Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

En fondant ses arguments sur plus de vingt-cinq ans d'exprience avec les archives visuelles, l'auteur analyse la question des liens entre les archives visuelles et l'criture de l'histoire canadienne dans les trois dernires dcennies.Il passe en revue l'usage fait par les chercheurs universitaires, dans les publications du dernier quart de sicle, des images tires des archives et principalement des fonds d'art et de photographies des Archives nationales du Canada.L'article dmontre comment certains spcialistes actuels dans les domaines de l'histoire de l'art, de la gographie et des sciences sociales ou de l'environnement, entre autres, utilisent une telle imagerie visuelle dans leur recherche et leur analyse.Un relev de la littrature disponible relative aux archives visuelles suit.L'auteur poursuit avec un examen du dialogue qui devrait se dvelopper entre les archivistes et les autres professionnels afin que les archives visuelles, et particulirement les photographies, deviennent une partie intgrante de la cration d'interprtations significatives de notre histoire et de notre mmoire collective.ABSTRACT Basing his arguments on more than twenty-five years of experience with visual archives, the author focuses on issues relating to visual archives and the writing of Canadian history over the past three decades.A review is undertaken of the use made by academic researchers of images from visual archives -primarily from the art and photography holdings of the National Archives of Canada -in historical publications over the past quarter century; and of how some current practitioners in such fields as art history, geography, and the social and environmental sciences, among others, are using such visual imagery as part of their research and analysis.A survey of available literature relating to visual archives is included.These sections are followed by a discussion of the dialogue which must develop between archivists and other professions in order to make such visual imagery, particularly photography, an integral part of the creation of meaningful interpretations of our history and our public memory.This paper will focus on two major issues relating to visual archives and the writing of Canadian history over the past three decades. 1In the first instance, I

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
