Abstract
In theory, theory and practice are the same thing; in
practice, they are not. There are standards in the archives
field, but we all know that sometimes the standards are not
practical for everyone. It does not make us lesser archivists
to not meet every single standard and in fact, it makes us
better archivists because we must be more creative to
overcome our challenges. There is nothing stopping us
from accomplishing goals-even major goals-without large
budgets or staff. In this session, see how six organizations
manage to ensure their collections are preserved and made
available without high-end tools and procedures.
