Despite three decades of activity, few archival institutions have developed programs to administer and preserve these special records. This study is an effort to understand why American archivists seem to have fared so poorly in the administration of electronic records by re-examining two major aspects of the archival profession: its institutional forms and structures (position descriptions and advertisements) and its educational foundations (graduate and continuing education programs). The primary research question being scrutinized in this study is this: Is the archival profession prepared to carry out its mission in the modern electronic information technology environment? |
