ALA's Cultural Resource Management Wiki

http://wikis.ala.org/acrl/index.php/Cultural_Resource_Management

I actually visit this wiki almost weekly. Currently, I am trying to help my archivist create an online presence for our archive materials. I'm also trying to create a future. In his current situation -- no budget, stuck in a building with poor climate control -- many of the items in the collection are in danger of discorporation. By electronically preserving some (or, hopefully, most) of the documents, the archive achieves an insurance policy against loss of the information in the documents.
