About this book

At the beginning of the early modern period, the idea of storing documents in a fixed location gained popularity in Europe. Yet the history of the archive is not only one of preservation: archives are also places of destruction, where memory is lost. As document collections grew, so did the problems associated with organizing, managing, and accessing them, until not only the archive, but also the figure of the archivist, stepped into view.

  • Explores the major role played by the archive in the history of our knowledge society

Reviews

„Die zahlreichen Elemente fügen sich zu einem buntscheckigen Mosaik archivistischer Praxis."
Marcel Müller in: Archiv und Wirtschaft 2/2014

„Die Monographie von Friedrich ist übersichtlich strukturiert, zeugt von einem intensiven Ouellenstudium in französischen und deutschen Archiven und erfreut durch einen lebendigen, gut lesbaren Schreibstil. […] Der kulturhistorische Zugriff und die so fundierte wie anschauliche Darstellung machen die Lektüre aber nicht nur für Historiker und Archivare lesenswert, sondern für jeden historisch Interessierten."
Thekla Kluttig in: Sächsisches Archivblatt 2/2014
