Whither Processing? An Incremental Approach to Archival Processing
- SLAC
The struggle to accomplish processing is shared, to a greater or lesser extent, by most archival repositories regardless of their size or subject matter. Many archives also, I suspect, employ similar coping strategies in their efforts to preserve the identity and integrity of the records in their care, while at the same time arranging and describing them in order to facilitate research. Making progress on processing is one of the most difficult tasks we face in the Archives and History Office of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and it is my hope that a discussion of our efforts in this area will prove useful to others both for the general issues it can illuminate and for the specific strategies it may suggest.
