Preserving Archives and Manuscripts, 2nd ed

摘要

Preserving Archives and Manuscripts is the last volume in the Archival Fundamentals Series II (AFS II) of the Society of American Archivists (SAA). Author Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler has forty years experience in the field as an archival educator and conservator, the last twenty-five years at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). She also wrote an earlier version, published in 1983 entitled Archives and Manuscripts: Conservation, and revised it under the current title in 1993. Each iteration updates and expands the previous content and places greater emphasis on management considerations. While there are other useful and valuable archival preservation resources with smaller scopes, this volume remains the most comprehensive monograph within contemporary archival literature.
