Archives, Documentation, And Institutions Of Social Memory: Essays From The Sawyer Seminar - Hardcover
Synopsis
In 2000-2001, the Advanced Studies Center of the International Institute of the University of Michigan held a year-long Sawyer Seminar to investigate from a range of disciplinary perspectives the relationships between archives, forms of documentation, and the ways societies remember their pasts. Of the nearly 100 presentations, 46 are published here, grouped into sections on archives and archiving; archives in the production of knowledge; archives and social memory; Canada, the Caribbean, Western Europe, Africa, and European colonial archives; and archives and social understanding in states undergoing rapid transition not only in eastern Europe but also China and postwar Japan and Greece. They are not indexed. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review
