Abstract:

On the basis of over 20-years' experience teaching in a master's level program of archival education in a North American university, the author reflects on the relationship between building knowledge of archives and the skills to carry out archival work. Using a report of the Society of American Archivists on the goals and priorities of the archival profession, he examines where and how skill building can become an integral part of archival education in the digital age. This article is little changed from the speech the author gave to open the Third Archival Educator's Forum held in Boston, Massachusetts on August 2, 2004.
