According to Rowman & Littlefield's website, this is 'the first-ever comprehensive guide to archival concepts, principles, and practices'. With reservations, I would agree. It is certainly rich in A-list authors. Among others, there are entries by Terry Cook on total archives, Andrew Flinn on community archives, Larry Hackman on advocacy, Luciana Duranti on archival bond, Barbara Craig on appraisal, Richard Brown on textual records and Joan Schwartz on photographic records. Some leading Australians are there too: Chris Hurley, Kate Cumming, Frank Upward, Karen Anderson, Barbara Reed and Adrian Cunningham, who was also a member of the editorial advisory board.
