Now in paperback! Documenting Localities is the first effort to
summarize the past decade of renewed discussion about archival
appraisal theory and methodology and to provide a practical guide
for the documentation of localities. This book discusses the
continuing importance of the locality in American historical
research and archival practice, traditional methods archivists have
used to document localities, and case studies in documenting
localities. These chapters draw on a wide range of writings from
archivists, historians, material culture specialists, historic
preservationists, librarians, and other professionals in
considering why we need to continue to stress the systematic
documentation of geographic regions. The heart of the book is the
presentation of a practical series of steps and tools archivists
and manuscript curators can use in documenting localities. The
final part of the book considers the need for the better education
of archivists and manuscript curators in appraisal theory and
methodology, with a description of the primary writings on new
macroappraisal approaches forming the crux of how archivists need
to consider documenting localities and regions. Useful to all
archivists and manuscript curators grappling with how to contend
with the increasing quantity and complexity of local records,
recordkeeping systems, and other documentary forms.
