This is a guidebook for archival assistants and new librarians. It is broken down into simple, clear, concise concepts, illustrated in line drawing, cartoon-style. Its generic nature explains the how and why of archival work with only a few sentences; and the illustrations match the concepts. Each section has the same format: introduction and definition, examples, and fill-in-the-blank review-tests for each section and each chapter. The concise five page summary at the end covers the entire book, without the pictures, and substitutes for no index. A one-page bibliography completes the book. I recommend it for large libraries with a large staff." Tim Loud, graduate student, Texas Woman's University The combination of simple statements, with images that illustrate one or two related points in an interesting way, has much to recommend it, particularly to volunteers working in the archive environment who may not have the background, or the opportunity, to digest the contents of a complex manual."
