An absolutely indispensable instructional guide and manual, Archives: Principles and Practices is unreservedly recommended for community, academic, governmental, and corporate Library Science collections and supplemental studies lists. * - Midwest Book Review * Archives is divided into theoretical and operational sections. Millar ably tackles topics such as the concept, nature, history, acquisition, preservation, and future of archives. Including a helpful list of resources for further reading and a glossary of archive-related terms, this is a well-rounded book. Infused with the right amount of humor, Millar has authored a highly readable text for those interested in an overview of the world of archives. -- Jim Frutchey * Booklist * 'Although differing goals and understandings of the archival profession are in many ways a sign of its vibrancy and strength, books such as Archives: Principles and Practices sound a welcome reminder to examine institutional traditions and to tie those traditions to the bedrock values that should unite all keepers of the cultural record. While the first edition succeeded to some extent, the second edition deserves recognition as one of the best introductory texts available today.' - Nathan Saunders, Associate Director for Library Specialized Collections, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Archival Issues * Archival Issues *
