“All Shook Up”: The Archival Legacy of Terry Cook. Edited by Tom Nesmith, Greg Bak, and Joan M. Schwartz. [Review]

---

Abstract

Most readers of this journal, myself included, were likely assigned one or more articles by Terry Cook during their graduate education, or perhaps are even poring over one now. This volume, edited by Tom Nesmith, Greg Bak, and Joan M. Schwartz, contains 13 of his articles and speeches published between 1979 and 2013, before his untimely death. These works, arranged chronologically, are paired with companion reflections by fellow archival scholars, friends, and colleagues who were deeply impacted by Cook’s work and saddened by the loss of a dear friend. While Cook’s prolific output extends far beyond the works included in this volume, the editors have chosen 13 significant pieces that “shook” the field, and the companion reflections from contributors discuss the historical context of the works and how they influenced both the archival profession and the contributors’ personal careers.
