Dear colleagues
We are in the process on building up a collection of archive texts in our library for those students who are interested in the theory and management of archives. While I have a good list of the usual suspects, it would be valuable to get some ideas from you all as to what should be included….? While we don’t teach any formal archive theory here, I run skills and introductory sessions on the concept of archives, what they are and what they can be used for. There is a growing interest in these conceptual issues, particularly as a point of stimulus for our arts students, and I am also keen to ensure that we cover practical issues such as handling, palaeography etc.
Any ideas gratefully received!
With best wishes
Sarah
