What is the AHAs Archives Wiki about?
Archives wiki aims to become a standard, up-to-the-minute reference guide to research archives and their holdings. Typically, such information is exchanged via (often exclusive) word-of-mouth networks, or through fixed and less flexible media, such as printed works or mailing lists. Ideally, this wiki will help to democratize access to knowledge about archives, to sidestep restrictive measures of those who control certain archives, and to help researchers avoid duplicating discoveries. For more on the rationale behind the wiki, see the original two-part proposal ( 1 and 2 ) on the AHA’s blog.
