Abstract
Arranging and Describing Archives and Manuscripts by Dennis Meissner—a book from the Society of American Archivists’ “Archival Fundamentals Series III”—serves not only as an essential resource but also as a platform on which individuals and organizations in the archives field can endlessly build. This text evokes so many principles that I use to ground my own work every day; it also reminds me of how much progress our field has made in the time since this book’s publication in 2019. The bright spirit and detailed content of this book are remarkable feats, even taking into consideration that it covers areas which deserve to be updated with more forward-thinking approaches.
