ABOUT THIS BOOK
TRENDS IN ARCHIVES PRACTICE, a new, open-ended series of modules by the Society of American Archivists, features authoritative treatments written and edited by top-level professionals that fill significant gaps in archival literature.
Module 2 in the series, PROCESSING DIGITAL RECORDS AND MANUSCRIPTS, builds on familiar terminology and models to show how any repository can take practical steps to process born-digital materials and to make them accessible to users.
TRENDS IN ARCHIVES PRACTICE includes two other modules: STANDARDS FOR ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION and DESIGNING DESCRIPTIVE AND ACCESS SYSTEMS. Each module can be purchased separately, or you can purchase the bundle, ARCHIVAL ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION, which features all three modules.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
J. Gordon Daines III is the university archivist and assistant department chair, manuscripts, in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Brigham Young University.
