ABOUT THIS BOOK
Appraisal and Acquisition Strategies is another installment in the series Trends in Archives Practice and consists of the following three modules: Module 14: Appraising Digital Records
by Geof Huth; Module 15: Collecting Digital Manuscripts and Archives by Megan Barnard and Gabriela Redwine; and Module 16: Accessioning Digital Archives by Erin Faulder. As Michael Shallcross of the Bentley Historical Library notes in the introduction, "an essential point in each module is the continuity of practice between the acquisition of traditional materials and digital content. The differences lie in the skills, knowledge, and tools required to identify potential preservation and access issues." These modules cover that and more.
