'Are We There Yet?' Professionalism and the Development of an Archival Core Curriculum in the United States

摘要

This study of graduate-level archival education identifies core curricula and evaluates these programs in Library/Information Schools as well as in history departments. It uses the Society of American Archivists Guidelines for a Graduate Program in Archival Studies to construct a mapping of courses and an analysis of the intensity of topic coverage in syllabi in order to address the issues of core curricula and professional identity. By focusing on core topics as well as core courses it also examines differences among programs and measures the breadth and intensity of core offerings.
