Praktische Archivkunde

The clear compendium on questions of archival theory and practice is geared to the special job profile of the specialist employee for media and information services (FaMI) in the field of archives. The guide is based on the experience of the LWL Archive Office for Westphalia in municipal archive care and is intended as a handbook for the training and later work of the specialist employees. At the same time, it offers historians and aspiring archivists a proven introduction to archival work: Archival activities from records management and preservation to new information technologies, data protection and public relations are presented in detail, as are auxiliary sciences. The book concludes with sample templates, legal texts and references to helpful addresses and further literature.
