Forwarded on behalf of Kim Eberhard, Presdient, Australian Society of 
Archivists, Inc:


The Australian Society of Archivists Inc. (ASA) is proud to present its
flagship publication, Keeping Archives, 3rd Edition [KA3].

KA3 builds upon the foundations of its legendary predecessors by providing
practical guidance for addressing many of the real-life challenges faced
when working with archival records. KA3's balance of practical information
and recordkeeping theory and concepts will assist archivists new to the
profession and others with responsibility for managing archival records. It
will also provide a handy resource for professional archivists working in
specialist areas where they have little experience or for those simply
seeking to update their professional knowledge.

KA3 provides information, guidance and skills to professionally manage
legacy collections and backlogs while also facing the challenge of
proactively working across the records continuum. It demystifies the myriad
of archival standards, methodologies, theories and concepts using a number
of case studies and real-life scenarios. Topics covered in KA3 include:

.         Introducing Archives and Archivists

.         Getting Started

.         Buildings & Storage

.         Appraisal & Disposal

.         Advocacy & Outreach

.         Digital Recordkeeping and

.         Managing More than Paper: Maps & Plans, Photographs, Objects, and

KA3 has been prepared by an editorial team comprising of Jackie Bettington,
Kim Eberhard, Rowena Loo and Clive Smith. Each chapter has been written by
