A Modern Archives Reader brings together, in a single volume, classic essays of archival literature that outline and define the basic theories of archives administration and recent articles that reexamine basic concepts and demonstrate the practical application of archival principles.
Included are essays on subject guides and archival terminology, reprints of several hard-to-obtain staff information papers from NARA, a glossary of archival terms, and suggestions for further reading.
The Reader is both a valuable reference tool for the working archivist and a textbook for students of archival administration.
