Reviews

'Comprised of ten impressively informative articles by experts on their subjects, Do Archives Have Value? discusses the various valuation methods available, including contingent valuation, willingness to pay and value chain, and assesses their suitability for use by archives and special collections...A unique, seminal, and expressly organized and presented work of collective scholarship, Do Archives Have Value? will prove to be an essential, core addition to professional, college, and university Library Science & Technology collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.' -- James A. Cox * Midwest Book Review * 'The question the editors of this collection of essays ask seems beguilingly simple: do archives have indeed value? But as Moss and Thomas point out in their introduction to the diverse contributions from across the world, the answer is not as straightforward as it seems.' -- Danielle Westerhof * InforPro *
