Product Description
This comprehensive manual of operations for managing local history material within the administrative framework of a library covers issues of administration, acquisitions, access, and use of all formats of material. Information on continually changing areas such as preservation, copyright and other legal concerns, computer applications, and national databases is also addressed, along with public relations roles and outreach activities for local history collections. Guidelines for administration of nontraditional library material (e.g., manuscripts) will be especially helpful to librarians. Archivists will value the manual as one of continuing practical education and theoretical development as exemplified by the Society of American Archivists' Basic Manual Series and Archival Fundamental Series. Manuscript curators, students, and administrators will also benefit from this book.

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Citing the developments in technology, changes in the description and arrangement of materials, and the advancements in preservation, the author offers this comprehensive manual on local history collections. Well written and organized, the book covers collection development, access, preservation, new technologies, users, publicity, and administration. The questions raised in each section also provide a basis for more reflection on the topic. Sample forms are represented throughout the book and there is an extensive bibliography at the end. Recommended for any library with a local history collection.
