Reviews

The second edition of Currents of Archival Thinking should be considered a stand-alone book, rather than simply an updated version of a resource that is already in your bookcase. . . . Overall, there appears to be a sense of openness to users, communities, society, and social justice in nearly all the chapters. . . . Whether intentional or not, this shift in archival discourse, grounded solidly on 'traditional' archival theory, is more than welcome. - Archivaria Each chapter and essay is thoroughly researched and provides multiple statistics to back up claims. . . . This title is perfect for academic libraries (particularly library schools), special collections, and for those pursuing a career in archives and records management. - VOYA
