Educating Archivists in Library and Information Science Schools

Abstract

The development of graduate level archival education has been slow. In the past ten years, however, this process has accelerated, and firmer foundations have been created in universities throughout North America. The strength of these graduate-level archival education programs can be seen in the diversification and increased visibility of archival programs; greater numbers of full-time and tenure-track faculty; a broader array of course offerings specifically in the archives and records area; and the nascent development of degrees acknowledging the archives and records field. This article traces the development and the status of archival programs within library and information science (LIS).
