The Society of American Archivists has announced the publication of a new title that looks great: Privacy and Confidentiality Perspectives: Archivists and Archival Records. The editors, Menzi L. Behrnd-Klodt and Peter J. Wosh, are two highly-respected archivists, and Menzi is also a lawyer. According to Nadine Strossen,
President of the ACLU, the essays in the book "explore the legal, ethical, administrative, and institutional considerations that shape archival debates concerning the administration of access to records containing personal information. It is essential reading for archivists, records managers, archival educators and students who wish to gain a deeper understanding of this difficult archival issue-and it is bound to stimulate broader reflection and debate."
Ordering information is available here. I can't wait to get my copy.
