Archivists have long discussed the problem of standardizing qualifications for entry into the field. Some contend that extensive primary research experience and seminar-level training in history is a necessary prerequisite, that an MA in history is a minimal entry criterion, and a PhD in history is a must for "advanced" administrative positions. Others argue that archives is primarily a service field, hence training in library science with special emphasis on archival courses should be required includinq an MA in library science.
