Silences range from details of individuals' lives to records of state oppression or of intelligence operations. The book brings together ideas from a wide range of fields, from contemporary history through family history research to Shakespearian studies. It describes why there are these silences, what the impact of them is, how researchers have responded to them and what the silence of the archive means for researchers in the digital age. 410 0$aPrinciples and practice in records management and archives. 606 $aAppraisal of archival materials 606 $aArchives$xAcquisitions 606 $aRecords retention 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAppraisal of archival materials. 615 0$aArchives$xAcquisitions. 615 0$aRecords retention. 676 $a025.21 700 $aThomas$b David$0382009 702 $aFowler$b Simon 702 $aJohnson$b Valerie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511470503321 996 $aThe silence of the archive$92551652 997 $aUNINA
