This is something ALL of us need on our office bookshelf! **************************************************************************** ********* MUSEUM ARCHIVES: AN INTRODUCTION 2nd ed. SAA Museum Archives Section Deborah Wythe, editor This new edition of "Museum Archives: An Introduction" offers a comprehensive overview of archival work in a museum setting. Skillfully written and lavishly illustrated by a team of museum-based archivists, this beautifully designed volume draws on decades of experience in applying fundamental archival principles and practices to the specific circumstances of museums. Footnotes, sidebars, and a concluding resource guide point readers to a vast range of additional information and assistance. "Museum Archives" also introduces readers to the institutional cultures, functions, and records of the museum setting and to issues of particular bearing to museums, including Nazi-looted art and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). "In the 20 years since the first edition of 'Museum Archives', the museum community has come to recognize the importance of caring for the records of its institutions, and archival programs within museums are no longer anomalies. At the same time, developments in information technology have stimulated archivists, librarians, and museum professionals to seek common ground in meeting the challenges and opportunities of the digital world. This volume should be on every museum's bookshelf and in the hands of every archivist who works in or with museums." -John A.
