Will help small institutions address the organization of their archives in a safe manner. In return, researchers will then be able to access these documents and unearth histories we haven't yet heard. Muse Step by step, Carmicheal discusses in clear, simple terms the purpose of records organization, its various levels ranging from the general (collection) to the specific (item or folder title), and the steps needed to achieve collection organization. Practical examples with exercises and answers help to illustrate concepts, and a bibliography including titles with more extensive information round out this concise and very useful resource.
