Hugh A. Taylor is one of the most important thinkers in the
English-speaking world of archives. A retired civil servant and
archival educator, he was named to the prestigious Order of Canada,
his nation's highest civilian award. The fifteen essays in this
volume are presented in chronological order so that readers may
appreciate the broadening evolution and rich interconnections in
Taylor's thought as these occurred over more than three decades.
These essays link archives to social life and contemporary ideas.
Long before postmodern scholars' recent fascination with 'the
archive,' Taylor was intent on constructing archives anew,
imagining them as places where archivists connect their records
with social issues, with new media and technologies, with the
historical tradition of archives, with the earth's ecological
systems, and with broader spiritual meaning. Also included are two
original essays by editors Terry Cook and Gordon Dodds.
