 Massachusetts Divorce Record Information
Any financial information contained in the more contemporary records however, is available only to the two parties named in the divorce or to a designated legal representative.
Also, and this is very important, divorce records are generally filed in the county where the couple last lived as husband and wife - not necessarily where they last lived at the time of the divorce.
Records prior to 1786 and as early as 1639, were heard by a variety of courts within the state and in most cases, the originals are held by the Massachusetts Archives.

 Trusting Records in a Postmodern World
The contemporary diplomatic analysis of the components of a record is a process of abstraction and systematisation, the aim of which is to identify the essential or "ideal" attributes of a record and make them transportable to different contexts.
An electronic signature is a digital mark having the function of a signature in, attached to, or logically associated with a record, and that is used by a signatory to indicate her approval of the content of that record.
For electronic records, this means beginning with an analysis of the various features of individual electronic systems and record-keeping environments in their own terms, with all their particularities, variations, and anomalies; and, on the basis of that analysis begin to build a more general framework.

 CD review: "The Contemporary Records Story"
Contemporary Records was never a heavyweight jazz label the way, say,Blue Note, Atlantic or Verve were/are.
But given the level of talent that recorded for the label, the number of signature albums they released, and the sheer volume of top-notch jazz found here through the years, you'd have to put Contemporary in that mid-major group with Pablo, Riverside and Milestone.
Constructed around the twin pillars of artistic freedom for the musicians and technological excellence for the recording equipment, Koenig's L.A.-based Contemporary label gave jazz musicians the same four-star treatment that Blue Note was providing on the East Coast.

 SAA: Presidential Address (Duranti-8/28/99)
The first is that contemporary records represent a challenge for all archivists, irrespective of their working environment, thereby constituting an issue that unites us all and on which SAA can take leadership.
This does not mean that the archival role is changed anymore than the fact that librarians are entrusted with functions of record classification and scheduling, records managers with appraisal of records for permanent preservation, or historians with the writing of archival guides mean that their role as professions is changed.
I believe that records managers and archivists need the same body of knowledge to carry out all functions affecting the records, that is, all archival functions.

As with the birth/christening records, the marriage records are organized chronologically by the date of the marriage.

Labels such as Riverside, Contemporary, Pablo, Debut, Fantasy, and Prestige are a part of the Original Jazz Classics family and each is featured on their own unique sampler collection.

 CD reviews of Original Jazz Classics Samplers from Fantasy
While Fantasy Records itself is best-known as the label that handled (and ultimately alienated) Creedence Clearwater Revival, it was founded in the early 1950s as a vehicle for pianist Dave Brubeck to distribute his own recordings.
Among those who recorded for Fantasy in the 1950s heyday of West Coast Jazz were Vince Guaraldi (famed for his soundtracks to the animated "Peanuts" TV specials), Chet Baker, Stan Getz and Cal Tjader.
Riverside Records was founded by a couple of young jazzhounds in the early 1950s, and unaccountably grew into another one of the best jazz labels on the scene.

Sarah Vaughan was 47 in 1971 when famed impresario Norman Granz, whose Jazz At The Philharmonic series in the '40s and '50s gave bop gravitas and a new audience, recorded her appearance at the Monterey Jazz Festival.
It's been seven years since Telarc has introduced a new artist, so it's interesting that the label is now taking up the cause of pianist Simone Dinnerstein, who has bucked all kinds of conventions about what a classical artist must be, do, and have in order to build a solo career.

Electronic records rot much faster than paper ones, and NARA must either figure out how to save them permanently, or allow the nation to lose its grip on history.
Weinstein is a former professor of history at Smith College and Georgetown University and the author of Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case (1978) and coauthor of The Story of America (2002).

Recording engineers Roy DuNann and Howard Holzer set up shop in the back warehouse section of the Contemporary offices and by keeping things simple and straightforward they achieved a pure and lifelike reproduction of instruments that could arguably by rivaled only by Rudy Van Gelder.

 Claims for Additional Payment: The Importance of Keeping Contemporary Records
During the arbitration, the representative of the Falklands Government applied to the Supreme Court for a ruling on whether a witness statement could be introduced in evidence to supplement the contemporary records produced in compliance with Clause 53 of the FIDIC Conditions of Contract.
If it is discovered that some records are missing a few days after the event or if there is only time to make a rough contemporaneous note, it is not too late to remedy the situation by supplementing those records a few days or even weeks later.
Under English law, the requirement to keep contemporary records is a strict one, and arbitrators should not admit supplementary evidence to overcome a want of contemporary records except in the very narrowest of circumstances.

 Amazon.com: The Contemporary Records Story: Music: Various Artists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
From its inception in 1951, Contemporary Records was an important independent jazz label, a West Coast equivalent to New York's Blue Note, Prestige, or Riverside.
But Contemporary also reflected the dual nature of the Los Angeles jazz scene, which contrasted the largely white "cool school" (often played by Hollywood studio musicians) with the edgy and forceful hard bop practiced by the city's perennially unsung fl musicians.
As the label's story unfolds here in recordings from 1952 to 1977, Koenig's vision is consistently impressive, whether he was recording a witty date by visiting East Coast icon Sonny Rollins or early sessions by avant-garde figures Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor.

 Blind Pig Records
Their incredible performances and the enthusiasm of the audiences led to the notion of recording this memorable music and presenting it to fans beyond the confines of this legendary club.
From the very beginning, our belief in the creative abilities of the artists and their need to expand the limits of their art form took precedence over a strict adherence to any narrowly defined musical idiom.
This philosophy has earned Blind Pig a reputation for excellence not only through releases by some of the all-time greats, but also through recordings of the new generation of artists who are bringing these uniquely American art forms into the 21st century.
