Correo electronico: astoler@umich.edu It is an enormous pleasure and privilege to give this year’s lecture in honor of Eric Ketelaar, such an inspired and creative figure for those of us whose work is shaped by the practices and perceptions of archives and by the challenge of how best to respect and register the provenance of documents and the rich possibilities for the future they serve and store. Professor Ketelaar has long been an archivist ahead of his time, one committed to the complex sedimentations of historical process, a scholar willing to question openly how archivists might entreat historians to treat documents as part of a ‘transactional process’, only as important as ‘the fabric of relationships and contexts’ in which they are embedded and we as historians can bring to the fore (Ketelaar 1997).
