Abstract

Continuing education has received little critical examination by archivists. This article categorizes the audiences that benefit from archival continuing education and priorities among those audiences. In attempting to comes to terms with questions regarding the type of continuing education needed by archivists the article also addresses a more basic question regarding the type of education archivists should receive prior to entering the profession, since what is offered through continuing education depends in part on what the recipients of that education already have learned. Finally, the article outlines a possible model structure for future archival continuing education.
