"Here is the first-ever comprehensive guide to archival concepts, principles and practices. Encyclopedia of Archival Science features 154 entries that address every aspect of archival professional knowledge. Entries range from traditional ideas (like appraisal and provenance) to today's challenges (digitization and digital preservation). They present the thoughts of leading luminaries like Ernst Posner, Margaret Cross-Norton, and Philip Brooks, as well as those of contemporary authors and rising scholars. Historical and ethical components of practice are infused throughout the work"--Provided by publisher
