Archival Outreach on the World Wide Web

---

Abstract

The World Wide Web offers archivists new opportunities for the dissemination of information about services and collections, and even digital facsimiles of items from collections. This review article provides some explanations of basic concepts and terminology associated with the Web, as well as pointers to information sources both on-line and in print. It also presents a few snapshot descriptions and discussions of representative archival repository Web sites. Finally, it discusses some broader issues for consideration as archivists prepare to exploit technological advances that allow for what amounts to a potential revolution in access to archival repositories by remote users.
