Charlie Arp’s manual is an excellent addition to the existing literature aimed at those working with archives without formal education or training. The Practical Manual sets out the professional best practice for managing all aspects of archives but it allows for situations which are less than ideal, recognizing that doing better can be good enough for the moment to ensure that archives are preserved and accessible now and in the future. It offers clear guidance and advice, providing an excellent introduction to the functions and activities that make up managing archives. * Archives and Records: The Journal of the Archives and Records Association *
