description: The 13 essays in this volume offer provocative commentary and analysis regarding the ways in which archivists best document college and university campuses and serve users. Three intertwined themes run through this reader: the opportunities and challenges posed by ever-changing technology, the importance of cooperation and collaboration beyond the walls of the archives, and the necessity for a proactive approach in undertaking the academic archival enterprise. As the essays gathered here demonstrate, archivists can and must play an active role in documenting the character and history of their institutions by applying their talents to the challenges of this new century.
