Year: 1992

Abstract: The author reviews bibliographic analyses that have been conducted on American archival literature. She then reports the methodology and results of a citation analysis that she conducted on articles in six periodicals core to the professional reading of North American archivists. The analysis, which covers the lifespan of the periodicals, identifies key individuals and publications, as well as disciplinary influences and seminal writings in the area of archival automation and electronic records. The author speculates about the implications of these findings and also recommends citation analysis as a useful research approach for understanding the development of archival practice and education.
