Abstract

The value and success of any archives or manuscripts repository rests on two interrelated bases: quality historical records collections and quality personnel to acquire, process, and service the col- lections. Yet these two aspects of any archival operation are so obvious and elemental that we often neglect them entirely. Neglect—or ignorance—is most often in evidence in the "front-end" of personnel work, the recruitment and hiring of staff.
