Here is an informative new volume that celebrates the increasing
use and influence of the MARC format for Archives and Manuscript
Control (AMC). As the format and its companion, the online archival
catalog, gain acceptance among archivists, several major issues
evolve, including the adoption and adaptation of standards for
archival control data and the acceptance of archival control
techniques for use in library collections. This is an important
volume for library cataloguers, who in order to make use of the
archival control techniques embodied in the AMC format must be
familiar with basic techniques of archival collections management,
and archivists, who might need basic instruction in relevant
library cataloging techniques.Describing Archival Materials
presents the principles and techniques that describe the control of
both textual and non-textual materials. Each chapter, where
appropriate, contains examples of AMC records to illustrate various
techniques. In examining control of textual materials, the authors:
outline the requisite details of archival description, including
the construction of finding aids and the representation of archival
collections in catalogs according to the recognized standard, APPM
explain the concepts of intellectual responsibility and the basic
concepts of choice and formulation of access points, derived
directly from AACR2 provide an archival translation of basic
indexing concepts such as subject analysis and indexing depth, all
written within the context of LCSH explore the concepts of
authority control of both names and subjects consider design issues
that contributed to the construction of the format and focus on
appropriate methods of content designation for archival
descriptions discuss the development of archival information
systems, in particular focusing on archival management features and
problems inherent in attempts to design systems that integrate
archival and bibliographic recordsThree chapters also highlight
archival control of nontextual materials--visual images
(photographs and films), sound recordings, and cartographic
materials.
