Library Journal and other review journals raved about the first edition of this now-standard guide. This new
edition has been completely updated and expanded to include crucial new information on digital records, encoded
archival description (EAD), copyright issues, post-9/11 security concerns, and international perspectives on these
issues--content that makes this manual essential for archivists of all backgrounds. Setting up archives, appraisal
and accessioning, acquisition strategies and policies, arrangement description, reference and access, preservation,
and electronic records are just some of the topics covered in both theory and practice in this clear, comprehensive,
and practical guide.
