Abstract:
|
The preservation of ASA history constitutes an important investment in the Association's future. The Committee on ASA Archives and Historical Materials assists in the preservation, storage, and cataloging of the holdings of noncurrent institutional records of the ASA that are maintained at numerous repositories because of their historical importance and research value. This session will provide an overview of the diverse collection and the committee's recent work. It will focus on methodologies for placing the documentary heritage of the group into a national and international context by facilitating a dialog on increased technical, academic, and biographical use of these vital information assets.
