| Abstract | "The author rethinks the concept of the ethical archivist in the current era of profound change. She demonstrates how the daily decisions made by archivists connect to larger issues of social responsibility and the need to construct a balanced and accurate historic record. Danielson both analyzes real-life cases and poses theoretical questions to help working archivists better understand ethics as an applied practice"--P. [4] of cover. |
