Organizing Archival Records, 4th Edition, is a textbook that introduces the fundamentals of arranging and describing historical materials. Prepared especially for non-professional archivists who manage collections as part of other duties, the guide provides practical, step-by-step methods for establishing order among historical records.
The volume explains foundational archival concepts, focusing on provenance, original order, and levels of arrangement. For the 2018 edition, coverage expanded to address digital records as well as broader repository responsibilities, including appraisal decisions and safe storage conditions.
