> 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."
