Abstract | Kate Theimer is probably best known in the archival field for the blog ArchivesNext, which she started in 2007 shortly after leaving NARA as a policy specialist. Because of that blog and her interests in Web 2.0 technologies, participatory archives, and rethinking the archival profession's role in the twenty-first century, Theimer has edited and written several books and articles on these and related topics. These works include the Innovative Practices for Archives and Special Collections series published by Rowman and Littlefield and the single volumes A Different Kind of Web: New Connections between Archives and Our Users (SAA, 2011) and Web 2.0 Tools and Strategies for Archives and Local History Collections (Neal-Schuman, 2010). |
