Summary

Part II of this book puts into action the principles, theories and concepts introduced in Part I. The following topics are addressed: how does the archivist manage the institution, or understand how it is managed if she is not the decision maker? How should archival materials be preserved so that they remain stable, authentic and reliable over decades and centuries? What issues need to be considered when acquiring archives, and how should those archives be arranged and described? Finally, how should the archivist make those materials available for use: what is involved in providing equitable reference services and in engaging actively with the research community and the wider public? These questions are considered in the following chapters:

Chapter 8: Managing the institution

Chapter 9: Preserving archives

Chapter 10: Acquiring archives

Chapter 11: Arranging and describing archives

Chapter 12: Making archives available.
