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 $aArchives$xAcquisitions 606 $aAppraisal of archival materials 606 $aRecords retention 615 0$aArchives$xAcquisitions. 615 0$aAppraisal of archival materials. 615 0$aRecords retention. 676 $a025.2/814 700 $aThomas$b David$f1950-$01595729 702 $aFowler$b Simon 702 $aJohnson$b Valerie 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812794303321 996 $aThe silence of the archive$93916789 997 $aUNINA
