Education for Archivists: Hard Choices And Hard Work

Abstract

In contrast with the view in the preceding article, a different description of the audience for continuing archival education is presented. Archival appointments include many part-time assignments, and many archivists will not take graduate programs. There is a large and varied audience for continuing education programs that do not presume pre-appointment education. The model for education offerings will include two main types of archivists-those with and those without extensive pre-appointment education. Scarce resources can and must be stretched to meet a wide variety of needs.
