| Abstract | "Today, we operate in an environment of records abundance, with far more documentation created than can reasonably be kept. Thoughtful selection and appraisal is both a balancing act and a vital skill for modern archivists. Selecting and Appraising Archives and Manuscripts is a concise introduction to the theory and practice of archival selection and appraisal, offering practical tools for principled work." -- Back cover. |
