Beginning in 2006, renamed Libraries & the Cultural Record, the journal will explore the history of the institutions, professions, and disciplines that are finding common ground in their stewardship of the cultural record.

 

With its new compass, Libraries & the Cultural Record invites for consideration for publication scholarly contributions that explore the related domains, individually and in concert, of libraries and librarianship, archival and records enterprise, preservation and conservation, museums and museum administration, and the antecedents of the emerging field of information.

 

We seek submissions highlighting the drama of those creating, organizing, preserving, and facilitating access to the cultural record—recorded knowledge of human discovery, creativity, and achievement. We especially welcome articles that highlight the interplay of historical forces, issues, people, and ideas.
