Reference and Access for Archives and Manuscripts. Archival Fundamentals Series III, Vol. 4. By Cheryl Oestreicher. [Review]

Author: Rory Grennan (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

Abstract

Reference and access are significant and enduring topics in archival practice and scholarship. It is fundamental to our common professional understanding of archives that “archival records exist to be used”1 and that archivists must “construct a robust system of access” to records in their care.2 Appropriately, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) has again included a monograph on reference and access in its Archival Fundamentals Series III, the latest iteration of its monograph series addressing several core aspects of archival practice.
