Much of our nation's documentary heritage resides in small
historical societies, libraries, cultural organizations, houses of
worship, and museums. The preservation of this heritage often
depends on the dedicated efforts of people who, in their workaday
world, practice some profession other than archivist. For twenty
five years, Organizing Archival Records has equipped
non-professional archivists to tackle the challenging task of
arranging and describing archival materials. The latest edition
preserves the practical, easy-to-follow, step-by-step approach of
earlier editions while updating its content to reflect current
archival practices: *practical ways to arrange and describe digital
records; *simple tools you can use to manage and store your
descriptions, whatever the level of your computer skills; *how to
share your descriptions with others; *why provenance and original
order are foundational to arrangement and description; *how the
principles codified in SAA's Describing Archives: A Content
Standard can guide your arrangement and description process; *an
expanded discussion of related topics, including appraisal,
security, safe handling of records, storage conditions, and what to
do with all the records that were in your archives before you read
Organizing Archival Records.
