Some conceive of these institutions as old and staid, suggesting that archives are somehow trapped in the past. But archives are more than resources for professional scholars and interested individuals. With an increasing emphasis on transparency in government and public institutions, archives have become essential tools for accountability.Better Off Forgetting? offers a reappraisal of archives and a look at the challenges they face in a time when issues of freedom of information, privacy, technology, and digitization are increasingly important. The contributors argue that archives are essential to contemporary debates about public policy and make a case for more status, funding, and influence within public bureaucracies. While stimulating debate about our rapidly changing information environment, Better Off Forgetting? focuses on the continuing role of archives in gathering and preserving our collective memory. 606 $aArchives$zCanada 606 $aPublic records$zCanada$xManagement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArchives 615 0$aPublic records$xManagement. 676 $a025.17/140971 700 $aAvery$b Cheryl, $0909437 702 $aAvery$b Cheryl 702 $aHolmlund$b Mona 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457258803321 996 $aBetter off forgetting$92034815 997 $aUNINA
