Community Archives: The Shaping of Memory

摘要

It is interesting to note how the sciences of records management and associated archive work have developed so strongly over the years. One might have imagined that the web and new technology would have weakened records management and archive work, but that does not appear to be the case. This well written book from Facet Publishing offers a range of international perspectives on archives and communities of many varieties: aboriginal, victims, gay, refugee and so on. These 14 essays cover a wide spectrum from a wide and well-chosen range of authoritative writers.
