Recenzii
"From planning to funding to organizational structure, this title provides a sound basis for establishing, growing, and sustaining an archives preservation program within a larger organization or when the archives is a stand-alone entity."
—Jeanne Drewes, American Archivist
"In this book Joffrion and Cloonan have considered a range of current problems for archivists and others in charge of archives and records, have discussed problems of ensuring the continued accessibility of records, and offer a range of solutions which work under modern conditions in order to promote the continuation of content if not necessarily of format."
—Edward Reid-Smith, Journal of the Australian Library and Information Association
"[Joffrion and Cloonan] introduce the reader to various critical studies, standards, and guidelines that shape current preservation principles and practices, while excluding topics previously covered by Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler’s earlier work Preserving Archives & Manuscripts. Their call for a holistic approach (where digital resources should be part of a comprehensive preservation management plan) distinguishes it from previous books on archival preservation. It offers the reader a broad and heavily sourced framework for understanding the field of archival preservation."
—Michael Don Fraser, Journal of Western Archives
