Beskrivning

Emerging Trends in Archival Science provides readers with an excellent overview of the variety and scope of current scholarly thinking in archival science. A new generation of thinkers is making the case for the importance of archives for addressing grand societal challenges such as peace and security, human rights, and adaptation to technological change in the information society. These emergent archival scholars are bringing fresh insights about the nature of the archival endeavor and the role of archives in preserving evidence of an increasingly complex and diverse society. They are thinking about how people create, manage, and interact with records and how the next generation of archivists can best be equipped to handle the recordkeeping challenges of the twenty-first century.

Recensioner i media

Emerging Trends in Archival Science offers an impressive and compelling body of scholarship concerning future directions in archival studies and pedagogy, particularly with respect to the subjects of human rights, collection development, advocacy, and appraisal. The volume’s six chapters are exceptionally well written and meticulously researched and, through the adroit incorporation of innovative ideas and interdisciplinary connections, they offer truly fresh perspectives on both established and emergent concepts in archival studies packed with a staggering amount of complexity and nuance given their relatively short page lengths.
