Archivist's Toolkit
The
Archivist's Toolkit has been designed as a community resource for use by those working primarily in small and medium-sized archives in British Columbia. Submissions and recommendations for additions or revisions are encouraged.
The AABC's
A Manual for Small Archives was originally published in 1988 and revised in 1994. It is designed to help persons in small archives, with limited access to training, few employees, and restricted finances and time. The
Manual explains archival principles and practices, offers guidelines and suggestions for various archival activities, and provides information on other available resources. It is now available online.
The Association also published two indexing tools for the archival community, the
British Columbia Thesaurus (1990) and its
Supplement for Municipal and Local Terms (1993). These resources are now available online on the AABC web site.
The AABC's A Guide to Archival Repositories in British Columbia was published in 1996. It is out-of-print in hard-copy form, but is regularly updated online
as part of MemoryBC.
The
Association also publishes the AABC Newsletter
three times a year, which provides local, regional, provincial and national archival news; notices of upcoming events; editorials; articles; and other information of interest to the members of the provincial archival community.
