Re: setting up an archives



Dear Burt:

There have been various efforts in the past to help Protestant
Evangelical institutions start archives that included outlining basic
steps. Some of the information in these guidelines may be helpful to
you.   A couple of sites you can look at are:
http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/eac/eactoc.html, especially the report of
Group A: Guidelines and Minimum Standards for Preserving Evangelical Archival Records.

Another set of guidelines for mission agencies (soon to be revised) is
at: http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/consult/guidelines.htm

There is a list of various books, online information, etc for church and
synagogue archivists at:
http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/caw.html    Some of these
might also be helpful for you.
