Rosemary K. J. Davis (Yale University) reviews Arranging and Describing Archives and Manuscripts by Dennis Meissner in Rare Books and Manuscripts. She writes, “As archivists, we are constantly attempting to balance our professional identities, our conceptions of the profession’s purpose, and the intense volume of labor required to perform our duties. Meissner is taking care to remind us that our decisions to acquire and describe materials have noticeable repercussions.” She goes on to say that, although there continue to be areas that deserve further exploration, this book provides a detailed and foundational look at arrangement and description.
