The Digital Archives Handbook is a great value to new professionals and experienced archivists alike. In ten chapters, leading practitioners share essential context, real-world experiences, and authoritative guidance on core archival functions, professional standards, and diverse content types. The clear and lucid explanation of the more technical aspects of digital archives will empower readers to tackle their own challenges. -- Michael Shallcross, digital preservation librarian, Indiana University A great donor and access-focused anthology on the fundamentals of managing digital materials, especially for those working in archives that collect from beyond their own institutions. The technical language is accessible and much of the content is scalable to archives of many sizes. -- Arlene Schmuland, head, University of Alaska Anchorage Archives & Special Collections
