An effort has been made to include all writings that have contributed to, or illustrate the development of, archival principles and techniques in the U.S. The major part of the guide is organized according to archival functions, rather than according to types of archival agencies. However, writings dealing exclusively with one type of records and archives--government, business, college and university, church--are listed under the appropriate chapter. The guide includes the most relevant writings published through June 1969. (Author/MF)
