Management: Innovative Practices for Archives and Special Collections explores the kinds of challenges that managers of archival programs face today and how those challenges can be met to achieve optimal results while working within existing resources. The book features thirteen case studies that demonstrate solutions to both traditional management concerns as well as new issues and opportunities presented by changes in technology and organizational environments. The featured case studies are: 1) “We’ll Never Let You Retire!”: Creating a Culture of Knowledge Transfer 2) Raising Cash and Building Connections: Using Kickstarter to Fund and Promote a Cultural Heritage Project 3) A Winning Combination: Internships and High-Impact Learning in Archives 4) A Thief in Our Midst: Special Collections, Archives and Insider Theft 5) Tackling the Backlog: Conducting a Collections Assessment on a Shoestring 6) A Platform for Innovation: Creating the Labs Environment at the National Archives of Australia 7) Setting Our Own Agenda: Managing the Merger of Archives and Special Collections 8) Taking Control: Managing Organizational Change in Archives 9) Implementing Pre-Custodial Processing: Engaging Organizations to Invest Resources in their Records 10) Building Effective Leaders: Redesigning the Archives Leadership Institute 11) From Evaluation to Implementation: Selecting Archival Management Software 12) More Bang for the Buck: Sharing Personnel and Resources Across Institutions 13) “Make a New Plan, Stan”: Useful and Painless Strategic Planning The collected case studies present pragmatic approaches to challenges and opportunities that are common to organizations of all sizes and types. Their common focus is on building stronger archival programs by making effective use of people, technology, and resources while working within organizational requirements and constraints. The volume will be useful to those working in archives and special collections as well as other cultural heritage organizations, and provides ideas ranging from the aspirational to the immediately implementable. It also provides students and educators in archives, library, and public history graduate programs a resource for understanding the issues facing managers in the field today and the kinds of strategies archivists are using to meet these new challenges.

This accessible how-to guide to extensible processing will show you how to reduce your processing backlog, maintain control of the stream of archival materials flowing into your collection, describe large aggregations of archival materials and improve user experience. A recent OCLC Research study found that an Internet accessible finding aid existed for only 44 percent of archival collections. With the strain of processing backlogs, many collections go undescribed and are essentially hidden from your users. Extensible processing offers an alternative: establish a baseline level of access to all your holdings, then conduct additional processing based on user demand and ongoing assessment. This flexible approach emphasizes decision-making, prioritization, and adherence to archival principles and standards. The goal is to give you the tools, confidence, and freedom to improve user experience. Author Daniel Santamaria provides an accessible how-to guide to extensible processing, including the following: the six key principles of extensible processing; international case studies, ranging from one-person shops to large universities: learn from examples of processes, systems, software, and metadata that were used successfully by others; eight steps in an extensible workflow process; how-to-use collection assessment surveys to reduce backlogs; and systematic step-by-step approach to reducing accessioning. Readers will learn how to use Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) and Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and be up-to-date on recent developments in digitization of archives and alternative strategies such as low-resolution scanning and repurposing existing metadata to ensure that baseline descriptions of all collection materials held by your archive or library are available online as quickly as possible.
