Electronic files, search engines, video sites, and media player libraries make the concepts of "archival" and "retrieval" practically synonymous with the experience of interconnected computing. Archives today are the center of much attention but few agendas. Can archives inform the redistribution of power and resources when the concept of the public library as an institution makes knowledge and culture accessible to all members of society regardless of social or economic status? This book sets out to show that archives need our active support and continuing engagement. This volume offers three distinct perspectives on the present status of archives that are at once in disagreement and solidarity with each other, from contributors whose backgrounds cut across the theory-practice divide. Is the increasing digital storage of knowledge pushing us toward a turning point in its democratization? Can archives fulfill their paradoxical potential as utopian sites in which the analog and the digital, the past and future, and remembrance and forgetting commingle? Is there a downside to the present-day impulse toward total preservation? 410 0$aIn search of media. 606 $aArchival materials 606 $aDigital libraries 615 0$aArchival materials. 615 0$aDigital libraries. 676 $a025.00285 700 $aLison$b Andrew$01278742 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367734203321 996 $aArchives$93013825 997 $aUNINA
