Records Redux: Enhancing Subject Access Through Redescription

Author
  • Joan Rabins (Wayne State University)

Abstract

One of the fundamental responsibilities of the archival profession lies in making historical records available for research. This is accomplished chiefly through description. To a great extent, the aptness and completeness of their description determines the research life of archival records. Historians and other researchers must be informed of the existence of documentation pertinent to their interests and directed to those items containing the information they require.
