A specialist on archives, Dow (library and information science, Louisiana State U.-Baton Rouge) writes for lone archivists who find that the material arriving these days includes floppy disks for computers that are extinct or that cannot be identified, digital disks with hundreds of unidentified photographs on them, home videos, and other electronic sources. As an academic, she says, it is her job to wade through the books, articles, online course, and other references offering advice on how to deal with such material. She here summarizes what she has learned for librarians who do not have the time, staff, or access to do so themselves. Among her chapters are archival concepts and grand strategies, what exactly the problem is with digital materials, long-term retention and access, working with donors, and what digital collections mean for the future of curators and archivists.
