For the archival generalists in small shops facing their first accession of born-digital records, this is an excellent introduction to what is required.Experienced digital archivists will also welcome how this updated reference source sets out current and emerging practices in this field. For educators preparing students for a career in this emerging profession and for students considering this career, this volume sets out the skills needed and the potential for a challenging and satisfying career (pp. 24–29). Regardless of the reader’s motivation, Oliver and Harvey have provided an essential resource for anyone interested in digital curation. And we can hope that, by the time the third edition appears, “curation” will be a recognized word, no longer singled out by spellcheck. (Jean Dryden Archival Issues)
