Maher introduces the basic elements required for an archival program to meet the documentary needs of a college or university.
The 13 essays in this volume offer provocative commentary and analysis in the ways archivists might better document college and university campuses and serve users. Three intertwined themes run throughout the reader: the opportunities and challenges posed by ever-changing technology, the importance of cooperation and collaboration beyond the walls of the archives, and the necessity of a proactive approach in undertaking the academic archival enterprise. As the essays gathered here demonstrate, archivists can and must play an active role in documenting the character and history of their institutions by applying their talents to the challenges in this new century. -- Provided by publisher.

"The world has more than 6,000 languages, but those languages are written in fewer than 100 alphabets--more than a third of which are endangered. Oddly gnarly or staggeringly beautiful, all of them embody the history and intellectual achievements of their cultures. Some are now used only in ceremonial documents, some in magic spells, some in secret love letters. In this groundbreaking project, author Tim Brookes has carved thirteen of these endangered alphabets into stunning boards of Vermont maple, using as his text Article One of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: 'All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.' This book is both the catalogue for that exhibition and an essay on writing from a unique perspective--that of a writer who is discovering new forms of writing by carving them before they vanish."--cover, p.4
