Preserving our heritage: perspectives from antiquity to the digital age

Carving out a line between academic tome and coffee-table book for those who love preservation, this publication is a collection of texts covering many perspectives on preservation from the worlds of archives, museums and libraries. For the student or professional working in any of these fields, this book presents readings that will stimulate discussion and thinking about concepts and new areas in the professions. For the casual reader, there is much to be gleaned broadly without the barriers of many academic works.
