Preserving Archives and Manuscripts

Preserving Archives and Manuscripts

Pedagogy

This series of books was created to envelope the basic core functions created by the SAA’s Guidelines for Archival Education. Throughout the Volumes, principles underlining the practice, functions and activities of archiving are expressed. Be it archives, manuscripts, or historical collections this series works towards integrating the ideas of preservation through archival management, storage, handling and other issues. Being the second edition many chapters have needed to be reworked as the field is constantly evolving and with the curriculum must too evolve. This is one of the major challenges when it comes to creating material on archiving. Since the work takes place in a digital field, it is bound to become outdated. Every ten or so years this will become true with technology constantly moving forward and the ways of storing data do as well. By touching up some chapters and ideas in this series, the author strives to make sure that this book will always be the best option for those trying to broaden their experience with archives and manuscripts. This book actively blends both conservations and preservation traditions that have changed the way that archival development flows over the years. This series works towards creating a proper learning curriculum for practitioners and prepares them for the extreme change that comes with the archival profession.
