Modern Special Collections: Embracing The Future While Taking Care Of The Past, Meredith Evans 2015 Washington University in St Louis

Modern Special Collections: Embracing The Future While Taking Care Of The Past, Meredith Evans

WashU Libraries Publications

As managers of special collections engage with evolving formats and technologies, it is imperative that these professionals remain well versed in papyrus, paper, and principles that inform archival work. The permanence of this content defines our past, informs our present, and shapes our future. However, a constricting interpretation of archival principles heavily focused on the “integrity” of recordkeeping drives collection managers further from the resources needed to do their jobs in this new age of archiving. Thinking in a non-traditional strategic manner can ensure continued collection development, access and relevance for the next generation.
