Abstract:
This seminar provides an introduction to working with publishers’ archives covering the evolving standards for organizing and processing these unruly collections over the past few decades; an overview of strategies for managing and preserving the multiple formats publishers’ archives tend to include – from original artwork to digital assets; suggestions for how to adapt to new research approaches in our reference work, online interfaces, and cross-repository collaborations; and a review of the rights and permissions concerns. While focusing on the range of publishers’ archives held by many institutions, many of the principles discussed will apply to other large and complex archival collections.
