- Summary:
-
"No Innocent Deposits, which borrows its title from a description of archives by an oral historian, suggests that archives do not just happen but are consciously shaped (and sometimes distorted) by archivists, the creators of records, and other individuals and institutions. In this series of essays, Cox offers archivists rare insight into the fundamentals of appraisal and provides historians and other users of archives with the opportunity to appreciate the collections they all too often take for granted."--BOOK JACKET.
