Waldo Gif f ord Leland and the Origins of the American Archival Profession

摘要

This is an embarrassing confession to make: after ten years in the archival and records management profession, despite extensive exposure to the American Archival scene, my knowledge of Waldo Gifford Leland was scant. I knew the name but had very little context other than that he had been involved in developing the American Archives tradition. This knowledge was pulled from reading the likes of Jameson and Norton in graduate school.
