Reference and access are significant and enduring topics in archival practice and scholarship. It is fundamental to our common professional understanding of archives that “archival records exist to be used”1 and that archivists must “construct a robust system of access” to records in their care.2 Appropriately, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) has again included a monograph on reference and access in its Archival Fundamentals Series III, the latest iteration of its monograph series addressing several core aspects of archival practice.

Born out of author Gregory S. Hunter’s frustration as a young professor at being unable to identify a one-volume foundational text for use in the classroom that adequately summarizes American archival theory and practice, Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives: A How-To-Do-It Manual was first published in 1996. To this third edition, Hunter brings an additional 25 years of experiences, expertise, and insight to an ever-evolving profession. Hunter is a professor at Long Island University’s Palmer School of Library and Information Science where he has taught for more than three decades. The founding president of the Academy of Certified Archivists, Hunter was the principal archivist and records manager on the team that built the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) for the National Archives and Records Administration and also served as editor of American Archivist for six years.
作为一名年轻的教授，作者格雷戈里·s·亨特(Gregory S. Hunter)感到沮丧，因为他无法找到一份足以概括美国档案理论和实践的单卷基础文本用于课堂，《开发和维护实用档案:如何做手册》于1996年首次出版。在第三版中，亨特为不断发展的职业带来了额外的25年经验，专业知识和洞察力。亨特是长岛大学帕尔默图书馆与信息科学学院的教授，他在那里教了30多年书。亨特是注册档案工作者学会的创始主席，他是为美国国家档案和记录管理局建立电子档案档案(ERA)团队的首席档案保管员和记录经理，也曾担任《美国档案工作者》的编辑6年。

In their introduction to this volume, editors Jeannette Bastian and Elizabeth Yakel offer the thought that the maturity of a field of study may be marked by the recognition of its outstanding scholars. So far, few Festschriften honor archivists—a fact that attests to the still-recent maturing and professionalization of the discipline of archival science and its practitioners. During the career of Richard J. Cox, the honoree of this volume, archival science moved forward from many of its older practices and philosophies to become a modern, more mature, and better-defined profession. The growth of degree programs specifically offering archival education, along with the creation and adoption of archival standards and best practices at the national and international levels, continued that maturation. Cox’s career also saw the application of computer technology as a tool for both the creation and management of archival records, which introduced profound and rapid changes as the technology created an ever-increasing volume of digital materials to be added to archival repositories alongside their analog counterparts. Cox entered the field at the beginning of an era of expansive growth for the archival profession, and, when he retired 40 years later, the field had expanded and evolved considerably in response to technology and sociocultural motivators.
在他们的介绍，这一卷，编辑珍妮特·巴斯蒂安和伊丽莎白·雅克尔提供的思想，成熟的研究领域可能标志着其杰出学者的认可。到目前为止，很少有纪念档案工作者的节日——这一事实证明了档案科学学科及其从业人员的成熟和专业化。在Richard J. Cox的职业生涯中，本卷的获奖者，档案学从许多旧的实践和哲学中向前发展，成为一个现代的，更成熟的，更好定义的职业。专门提供档案教育的学位课程的增长，以及档案标准和最佳实践在国家和国际层面的创造和采用，继续了这种成熟。考克斯的职业生涯也见证了计算机技术作为档案记录创建和管理工具的应用，这带来了深刻而快速的变化，因为该技术创造了越来越多的数字材料，可以与模拟材料一起添加到档案库中。考克斯进入这一领域时，正值档案行业迅速发展的时期。40年后，当他退休时，这一领域已经在技术和社会文化的推动下得到了极大的扩展和发展。

This article explores the work of archivists and special collections librarians in teaching with primary sources (TPS) for K–12 and higher education audiences and argues that the resources created for this work have largely targeted either audience, but not both. Building on a trend in the TPS literature toward skills-based instruction efforts, this article introduces a crosswalk between skills-based standards typically used in higher education (the SAA/RBMS Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy) and K–12 education (Common Core State Standards). This crosswalk demonstrations how resources created with one audience in mind can be adapted for use with other audiences. Examples of this crosswalk’s application are provided, as well as a discussion of the pitfalls of standards-based learning and the potential of a standards-based crosswalk to open up communication and collaboration around the benefits of teaching with primary sources.

In Community Archives, Community Spaces, editors Jeanette A. Bastian and Andrew Flinn bring together three analytical essays and seven case studies to build upon and expand the theoretical framework for community archives established by other literature, including Bastian and Ben Alexander’s 2009 volume, Community Archives: The Shaping of Memory, while also examining interpretations of community archives and envisioning them as another step in the archival continuum.

Advancing Preservation for Archives and Manuscripts is the fifth of seven volumes in the Archival Fundamentals Series III, a series designed to “provide the core knowledge needed by archivists to work effectively with records/archives and papers/manuscripts— both analog and digital—in the twenty-first century.”1 This edition of the series seeks to update core archival principles and practices, especially with regard to digital materials. Joffrion and Cloonen’s volume “addresses digital challenges and focuses on such current issues as risk management, ethical considerations, and sustainability” (p. ix) as they pertain to preservation.

Theories of appraisal and their practice have been a central element of archival discourse for nearly a century. While the importance of a diverse and inclusive archival record has been stressed in recent decades, pornography and sexually explicit materials have been excluded from these conversations. Although pornographic materials present additional privacy and access challenges, they are important records of human sexuality and the experiences of diverse communities that might not be documented elsewhere. This article highlights ways in which pornography can help archivists diversify the archival record.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has done anything for libraries, archives, museums, and galleries (GLAMs), it has forced cultural heritage workers to be as efficient as possible in response to lack of funds, staffing, and other resources. Managers have been stretched to do more with less, and even as the pandemic begins to fade, new standards of higher efficiencies and slow return to normal staffing levels will continue to be a theme for years to come. This leads to a twofold challenge: to fully support all the old and new roles while ensuring that this work can be maintained.

Originally published as a special issue for Australian Feminist Studies (volume 32, March–June 2017), this collection of writings poses a direct and thoughtful response to emerging discourse on feminist archives. It emphasizes community-focused, distributed, decolonized, and postcustodial archival approaches for many interdisciplinary and community uses and for community self-representation. Editor Maryanne Dever spends little time recounting the basic tenets of feminism or of archives and instead brings the reader directly into the challenge of the moment—interrogating the how and why of disruptive feminist advocacy and of practices that could crack open archival futures. Presented as 12 chapters by 17 contributors, it reads first and foremost as a work targeted at an interdisciplinary scholarly audience newly engaging with archival theory. First published in 2017, the writings, of course, predate the pandemic, #MeToo, #BLM, and the broader 2020 movement for racial and social justice and so only indirectly call for antiracism, reparative practices, and digital access equity. Nevertheless, in many ways, they presage those clarion calls by insisting the larger academic world must better engage with archival theory for a more just, equitable, inclusive, feminist future.

This article fills a gap in the literature of item-by-item condition surveys intended for small or underfunded institutions and those staffed without extensive expertise in special collections. The Book Condition Survey (BCS) uses a simple, 15-question, web-based survey with images for volunteer library staff to easily note degrees of damage. The article discusses the training of lay staff, the implementation of the BCS, and the outcomes that draw on the data collected from the BCS, including grant funding for preservation and research.
