Sir Charles Hilary Jenkinson (1 November 1882 – 5 March 1961)〔Johnson 2008.〕 was a British archivist and archival theorist. Writing in 1980, Roger Ellis and Peter Walne commented that "()o one man had more influence on the establishment of the profession of archivist in Great Britain than Sir Hilary Jenkinson".〔Ellis and Walne 1980, p. 9.〕 Terry Eastwood in 2003 called Jenkinson "one of the most influential archivists in the English-speaking world".〔Eastwood 2003, p. vii.〕 ==Career== Born in Streatham, London, Jenkinson was the son of a land agent. He was educated at Dulwich College and Pembroke College, Cambridge, graduating with first class honours in Classics in 1904. In 1906 he joined the staff of the Public Record Office and worked on the classification of the records of the medieval Exchequer. In 1912 he was put in charge of the search room, which he reorganised. During the First World War, he joined the Royal Garrison Artillery, and served in France and Belgium from 1916 to 1918. He then worked at the War Office until 1920.〔 Returning to the Public Record Office, he reorganised the repairing department and later the repository, to which he moved in 1929. He was appointed secretary and principal assistant keeper in 1938, then Deputy Keeper (chief executive officer) from 1947 until 1954, when he retired.〔 In 1944–5 he paid several extended visits to Italy, Germany and Malta as War Office Adviser on Archives, attached to the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Subcommission, playing an important role in helping protect the archives of those countries from the worst of the depredations of war.〔Bell 1962.〕〔Johnson 1957, p. xxvi.〕 He lectured on palaeography, diplomatic and archives in Cambridge, King's College London and University College London. He wrote a number of books on palaeography and diplomatic, and his ''Manual of Archive Administration'' (1922; revised edition 1937) became a highly influential work on archival practice in Britain and Ireland. Early in his career Jenkinson served as Honorary Secretary of the Surrey Archaeological Society. He took a leading part in establishing its daughter organisation, the Surrey Record Society, in 1912; and thereafter, as secretary and general editor until 1950, in establishing its principles of editing and records publication.〔Johnson 1957, pp. xv–xvii.〕 He was a founder, Joint Honorary Secretary (1932–47) and Vice-President (1954–61) of the British Records Association; President of the Jewish Historical Society of England (1953–55); and President of the Society of Archivists (1955–61). He also played an important role in the setting up of the National Register of Archives in 1945. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hilary Jenkinson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
