The third edition of this comprehensive British guide to the theory and practice of listing archives will provide a basic tool for generalist repositories and any organization with archives to manage. This new edition provides a rewritten chapter on electronic archives, an updated dictionary of 1999 ICA definitions, and extensive updating of the sections covering audiovisual materials. The theory and practice of listing archives in all imaginable formats--including title deeds, letters, photographs, maps, plans, sound archives, film, video, and electronic--are discussed in exhaustive detail. Procter and Cook are the present and former University archivists at Liverpool University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Newly revised and updated to more thoroughly address our increasingly digital world, including integration of digital records and audiovisual records into each chapter, it remains the clearest and most comprehensive guide to the discipline.
