Reviews

'There is plenty of discussion about future access to archives, their access and availability and the role of archive staff as intermediaries between collection and public, which may or may not disappear...Thirteen authors contributed to the book, including well-known names such as Luciana Duranti, Geoffrey Yeo, Barbara Reed and Frank Upward.' -- Wouter van Dijk * Hereditas Nexus * 'I would recommend that everyone read this very timely book because only through collective understandings of the issues can the profession consider its proactive and positive responses to the challenges it identifies.' -- Caroline Williams * Taylor & Francis Online * In Archival Futures, Professor Brown draws upon her years of experience and expertise as well as the contributions of a range of international experts to consider the current archival landscape and imagine the archive of the future. Firmly rooted in current professional debate and scholarship, Archival Futures offers thought provoking and accessible chapters that aim to challenge and inspire archivists globally and to encourage debate about their futures.- Midwest Book Review * Midwest Book Review *
