“Managing Business Archives effectively guides corporate archivists in understanding archival principles and determining when to pragmatically diverge from them. Business and non-business archivists alike will benefit from learning about the unique role the business archivist plays in the profession.” —Michael Bullington, McDonald’s Corporation
“Managing Business Archives covers a lot of ground in a meaningful way. It thoughtfully, and pragmatically, discusses how archival theory and standards can be applied in a corporate setting. The authors clearly and succinctly walk through the many different responsibilities that corporate archivists hold and synthesize trends in both archives and business to help business archivists succeed.” —Dr. J. Gordon Daines III, Brigham Young University
“Managing Business Archives would have been a good resource to have as I transitioned out of library school and an academic environment to the realities of how ‘best practices’ aren’t always attainable or feasible in a business setting.” —Amanda Garfunkel, Mid-Atlantic Archivist
“Both the editor and its expert contributors have created a book that has the potential of becoming a modern classic in the world of information professionals. Placing an emphasis on practicality and real-world situations that will be useful to archivists in any field, business or otherwise, the book offers an incredibly resourceful and comprehensive look at the ways a wide variety of business and organizational archivists tackle both day-to-day issues and long-term (or legacy) problems with creative, pragmatic strategies and solutions.” —Erin M. Louthen, Journal of Western Archives
