Teaching Macroappraisal: A View of the Literature

摘要

The author, who is Guest Reviews Editor for this special issue on macro-appraisal, introduces and provides context for four review articles, written by archival educators from Canada, the United States, and Australia, that discuss the most important works they use to teach macroappraisal and why these works are chosen. While each article demonstrates the unique characteristics of the archival education program in which the author is situated, they are united by a common theme - the need for educators to prepare students, as best they can, to take their places as practising professional archivists.
