For volunteers or staff at small organizations, collections
management can be a daunting task. Archives 101 is a guidebook for
people who care for historical records, photographs, and
collections but do not have the appropriate professional training.
Lois Hamill provides practical, step-by-step guidance for managing
all facets of archival collections, from acquisition, arrangement,
and description to storage and security. The book also offers
advice on how to utilize PastPerfect software for collections
database management. Archives 101 is written for those who manage
cultural collections regardless of their professional education or
institution type. It has been recommended by archivists, public
historians, librarians and museum specialists, from the national to
local level, as a comprehensive and practical ready reference
handbook. Authoritative yet accessible to all readers, this volume
addresses all phases in the process of managing cultural
collections including use by researchers, for exhibits, work with
other specialists such as conservators or appraisers and more. This
handbook is unique in its comprehensiveness; practicality;
inclusion of low cost options for tight budgets; discussion of
questions to consider which enable the reader to adapt guidance to
their specific setting; step-by-step guidance based on accepted
theory; inclusion of specific instructions to perform tasks in
PastPerfect 5.0, a collection management software; readily
available free additional resources for each chapter; and an
appendix rich with templates and examples illustrating the text.
You'll find information on how to manage a basic digitization
project from beginning to end; delivery options for digital files;
incorporation of the DACS and Dublin Core descriptive standard(s)
resulting in an updated finding aid template; several additional
approaches to processing; and incorporation of considerations for
donor confidentiality and specific questions for donors of digital
records.
