Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives: A How-To-Do-It Manual. 3rd ed. By Gregory S. Hunter. [Review]

---

Abstract

Born out of author Gregory S. Hunter’s frustration as a young professor at being unable to identify a one-volume foundational text for use in the classroom that adequately summarizes American archival theory and practice, Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives: A How-To-Do-It Manual was first published in 1996. To this third edition, Hunter brings an additional 25 years of experiences, expertise, and insight to an ever-evolving profession. Hunter is a professor at Long Island University’s Palmer School of Library and Information Science where he has taught for more than three decades. The founding president of the Academy of Certified Archivists, Hunter was the principal archivist and records manager on the team that built the Electronic Records Archives (ERA) for the National Archives and Records Administration and also served as editor of American Archivist for six years.
