“…The 'Economic and Social History of the War' was published and funded by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. 85 The funding of Jenkinson's manual also signifies another, albeit smaller, area of overlap between Jenkinson and Schomburg. As noted earlier, the purchase of Schomburg's collection was facilitated through the Carnegie Corporation.…”

Focusing on the inter-war period, this article examines the context of the publication of Sir Hilary Jenkinson's Manual of Archive Administration alongside the less well-known contemporary publication of Arthur Schomburg's 'The Negro Digs up his Past'. By placing these publications together, this article raises questions about the production and reproduction of the professional canon, as well as highlighting Schomburg's contribution to key archival questions on the nature of collecting. This work discusses Schomburg's articulation of the purpose of archival collecting which offers a radically different conception of the value and use of archives, one that focuses on the concepts of recovery and transformation. This article also places Schomburg within the wider emergence of the Pan-African movement and situates his work within the developing Pan-African ideologies and the networks in which he operated, and argues that Schomburg's legacy can be found in the development of Black-led archives in London.

“…U.S. work in this vein has included comparisons of civilians' and soldiers' morbidity, mortality, and employment status, finding that being a veteran could be detrimental to health but beneficial to social and economic standing (Doetsch 2012;Laschever 2013;Smith et al 2015). These studies were not the first to quantitatively address World War I's demographic and socioeconomic effects (Rietzler 2017); however, twentieth-century research was arguably hindered by scholarly disinterest in these topics and methods after World War II, as well as by data limitations so severe as to call some studies' conclusions into question (Offer 1989;Harris 1993;Voth 1995). In contrast, the cited twenty-first-century studies show that using ample sets of located, longitudinal, individual data helps scholars avoid apples-to-oranges comparisons between different cohorts (who might have lived in very different historical and geographical contexts) and obviates the need to rely solely on preaggregated data that might obscure variations of interest.…”

This article analyses international scholarship of the early twentieth century by focusing on scholarly networks and the uncomfortable interplay between their claims to universalism and the realities of an international war with global dimensions. Academics, books, and ideas had traversed the world with relative ease and regularity from the mid nineteenth century. The consequences were the creation of a hierarchical and Euro-American dominated ‘academic world’ where mobility and the transnational transmission of knowledge were key features. The rupture of the First World War tested the durability of these connections but the Paris Peace Conference showed that scholarly connections – through shared disciplinary interests, alumni groupings, or mutual acquaintance – were not only durable but sometimes crucial to the recasting of the world envisaged by the peacemakers. While the scholars present at the Paris Peace Conference were there as representatives of their respective nations, they also demonstrated strong allegiance to disciplines and institutions.
