From original manuscripts and letters to sound recordings and birth
certificates, archival information plays an increasingly important
role in modern research. This definitive guide shows novice and
experienced researchers how to find archival information, and it
provides tips on how to use archival materials effectively and
efficiently. Topics covered include government archives, science
and technology collections, military archives, genealogical
records, business and corporate archives, performing arts archives,
and sports collections. This guide also provides an overview of the
world of archives: archival terminology, how to contact archives,
and archival etiquette.;Whether searching for a noted author's
original manuscripts, trying to locate presidential papers, or
tracking down a repository of oral histories, Archival Information
is an indispensable reference work. Although libraries and the
Internet have made finding information on a wide range of topics
faster and easier, not all information - particularly from primary
sources - is available at local library branches or online. Using
archival information can be challenging. Materials are often
located in many different places: public or academic libraries,
government agencies, historical societies, or museums. They are
usually kept in secured areas away from the public and cannot be
browsed. This guide helps make archival research less difficult and
overwhelming.
