The challenges facing archivists in the 21st century
UCLA professor of
information studies Anne Gilliland says that understanding the history
of archival science is critical to understanding where the field is
going. In her new book, "Conceptualizing 21st Century Archives,"
(Chicago: Society of American Archivists. 2014) Gilliland looks back at
practices of archives—often as instruments of economic or political
control. In doing so, she delineates the knowledge that today's
information professionals can glean from archival traditions spanning
thousands of years, and the use of that knowledge to advance technology
and sociocultural change in the field.
