University College Dublin has provided education on archives for thirty-five years mainly in the Archives Department. This book of essays celebrates its role in a timely manner as the Archives Department is now part of the new UCD School of History and Archives. The topics covered in this book include aspects of the history of archives, record-keeping, ethics and ethical issues, the publication of diaries, digitisation and digital preservation, the representation of archives in literature, the use of archives in education, the curatorship of ancient, medieval and early modern archives, the management of church and local authority archives, and the exploration of the impact of documents in everyday life.
