Summary:

In this collection of essays, twelve contributors, each of whom has been involved in NARA's development, discuss the application of archival theory and practice in the National Archives and Records Administration's development of these functions and trace how they evolved over time. The result is a fascinating and awesome amalgam of achievement, anecdote, and aspiration.
