false 6234836 1 From Polders to Postmodernism is a broad ranging history of the conception and development of the theories that have guided archivists in their work from the late 19th through the early 21st centuries. Narrated through the controversial thread of archival appraisal theory, the book examines how archivists have engaged with theory through the tension between keeping records that reflect objective history "as it happened" and subjective decision making in the archive. Through an interpretive reading of archival theory, distinct periods emerge, with each paradigm contributing unique responses to difficult archival, historical, and theoretical contexts. 6417504 1 2 2009 From Polders to Postmodernism: A Concise History of Archival Theory total:5|5:4|4:0|3:0|2:1|1:0| 5 22 10 1 2 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 07:57:33 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 12:59:22 -0700 2009 this post for details.
