Archives in the Midwest: Assessments and Prospects

---

Abstract

In the past several years the archival profession has embarked on a range of activities which both signal and contribute to a new level of maturity. Issues such as standards of practice, control over eduction and training, and improved visibility for archives are being addressed at both the national and regional levels through committees, task forces, and funded studies. Archivists have recently joined with other professionals in pursuit of avowedly political goals—notably the defeat of attempts to slash funding for important federal programs, and the successful passage of legislation to reestablish the National Archives as an independent agency.
