In this concise but extremely thorough book, Lois Hamill, University Archivist at Northern Kentucky University, bridges the gap for individuals and smaller institutions that need to organize what may often be long neglected collections. In this era of resource constraint, Lois takes a methodical approach to the description of these items, relying heavily on the affordable Past Perfect Software which can generate museum quality records for the beginner, with the informed narrative from Ms. Hamill to lead the way. . . . If there was one ready reference work I would recommend to someone commencing an archival collection it would be the Archives for the Lay Person. Ms. Hamill has given us a roadmap, folded neatly. We need only drive.
