The State of Historical Records: A Summary

Establishing specific priorities for historical records is a difficult and time consuming task. Although the conference explored a wide range of archival issues, a great many others were not discussed. Walter Rundell and Herbert Finch reviewed the conference papers and discussed some of the archival topics not covered within the context of the conference. In order to gain a precise understanding of the views of those in attendance, the conference staff formally surveyed the participants to assess their opinions on general archival projects. The results of the survey conclude this report.
