THE THINGS WE KEEP: CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPRAISAL OF ARCHIVAL MATERIALS IN MUSIC LIBRARIES.
- Authors
CUERVO, ADRIANA P.
- Abstract
This article discusses appraisal in relationship to the documentary evidence of music making, and the principles behind acquisition decisions in an archival setting. It also explores the concept of enduring value as it applies to music materials, and formulates clear definitions of the distinct facets of archival appraisal. This is a crucial component to any archival management program that can contribute to the healthy growth of the institution and its collections. The author formulates foundational elements for archival practices that actively expand the scope of the documented musical heritage preserved in archives throughout the world, and outlines strategies for collecting a well-rounded and inclusive view of history.
