Archival and Special Collections Facilities
Guidelines
Michele Pacifico
Society of American Archivists, 2009
Archival facilities are a critical element in preserving and making accessible our nation’s cultural heritage. This SAA-approved standard provides guidance on site evaluation, construction, environmental systems, fire protection, security, lighting, materials and finishes, equipment, and the functional spaces for an archival facility that meets the needs of staff and researchers and ensures the preservation of collections. It is required reading for archivists, librarians, and the building professions planning a new or remodeled archival facility. Archival and Special Collections Facilities: Guidelines for Archivists, Librarians, Architects, and Engineers were officially adopted as a standard by the Council of the Society of American Archivists in February 2009, following review by the SAA Standards Committee and the general archival community.

Process-Tracing Methods
Foundations and Guidelines
Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen
University of Michigan Press, 2019
Process-tracing in social science is a method for studying causal mechanisms linking causes with outcomes. This enables the researcher to make strong inferences about how a cause (or set of causes) contributes to producing an outcome. In this extensively revised and updated edition, Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen introduce a refined definition of process-tracing, differentiating it into four distinct variants and explaining the applications and limitations of each. The authors develop the underlying logic of process-tracing, including how one should understand causal mechanisms and how Bayesian logic enables strong within-case inferences. They provide instructions for identifying the variant of process-tracing most appropriate for the research question at hand and a set of guidelines for each stage of the research process.
