Michael Moss on Archives brings together selected outputs from an
internationally renowned archival scholar, who explored the theory
and practice of archives and records management. Comprising a
selection of 11 of Moss’ most significant archival writings, the
book demonstrates the development of his thinking in archival
theory and practice over the past 20 years. Michael Moss was a
towering figure in modern archival writing and was able to push the
boundaries of the discipline, notably with his analysis of how
modern governments create records and his speculations about the
future of the archive in the digital world. Bringing together in
one place Moss’ most significant writings, alongside a
comprehensive bibliography, this book documents a significant
contribution to British and international archival theory and
practice. Each essay is preceded by a critical introduction,
written by a leading archival scholar, assessing the piece and
setting it in a wider archival or historical context, while an
overall introduction by the editors provides biographical
information and describes the development of Michael’s archival
thinking. Michael Moss on Archives will be of interest to scholars
and students engaged in the study of archival science, library and
information science, history, digital humanities, and media
studies. It should also be of interest to professionals who work in
archives and records management.
Written by world-leading experts, this book draws together a number
of important strands in contemporary approaches to the
philosophical and scientific questions that emerge when dealing
with the issues of computing, information, cognition and the
conceptual issues that arise at their intersections. It discovers
and develops the connections at the borders and in the interstices
of disciplines and debates. This volume presents a range of essays
that deal with the currently vigorous concerns of the philosophy of
information, ontology creation and control, bioinformation and
biosemiotics, computational and post-computation approaches to the
philosophy of cognitive science, computational linguistics, ethics,
and education."
