Digital Archives: Management, Access and Use

Digital Humanities

Digital Archives: Management, Access and Use offers an overview of the constantly evolving technological changes and improvements in the world and how digital archiving is affected by this. This book provides insights from international experts who contribute information on the changes in archives and what these changes mean in the long run. These experts also weigh-in on building digital archives, offering solutions to obstacles in planning and curating an archive while discussing the tools needed to aid with changes in the digital humanities. The book is separated into two parts; the first part, titled “Drivers for Modern Digital Archives” covers the basics of digital archives, managing possible “turbulence” or overcoming computer-related obstacles, legal issues involving digital archives, and scientific information policies. The entire second part of the book, titled “Case Studies,” covers a case study between two oral histories. This book offers basic information about Digital Archiving, while delving deeper into the management of a digital archive. This book also offers a section that covers recent developments in the archive world, and even offers a “How to Read this Book” section that breaks down abbreviations and provides suggestions on the order to read the book (in the order they appear). This book offers an in-depth look at managing digital archives and is good for archivists and researchers alike.
