Welcome to the ARTS Scheme Congratulations - by thinking about visiting an archive to obtain information, you have now reached a level of study where textbooks are no longer sufficient and primary source material has become an integral part of your work. This is a major step forward in your academic development, but can be a challenging and daunting proposition. About Archives An archive can mean either a collection of documents, or the place where those documents are stored. Either way, the traditional view of an archive is of inaccessible 'dusty old documents' presided over by dusty old men. In the modern archive, nothing could be further from the truth. There is a wealth of information contained in the documents stored at archives, and over the last ten years much has been done to improve their profile, accessibility and range of users. Nevertheless, the largest obstacle that prevents people from using these resources is their fear of this unknown world. |
