| Popis: | This paper examines ways to improve traditional archival descriptive tools in order to provide access to “hidden groups” such as blacks, women, ethnic and cultural minorities, aboriginal, poor, and working people. It argues that traditional provenance-based retrieval tools in archives do not provide adequate access to these groups and that the only way to retrieve information on them is through formalized subject access systems. The author argues that archivists also need to expand their traditional view of subject access to include function/occupation and type of material, in addition to topic and name. |
