Boston City Archives. Giuliani Archives.
Our Boston city's archives have been managed incompetently so as to
intimidate people interested, concerned or affected by the
information. Archives of the City of Boston Public Library Department
itself as an institution with its own historical records are not
acquisitioned and accessioned in a manner to encourage their use.
The news about the Giuliani Archives reflects a lack of application
of the good principles of archival acquisition and accession.
Instead of being receptive to our public library users suggestions,
comments and questions, BPL Research Library's John Dorsey is
adamant. It goes to the curricula of our graduate schools in
related fields of archival studies, records management and library
and information studies. The schools for the most part indoctrinate
with too didactic curricula instead of a more creative open
intellectual approach
Problematically,
