Basic archival functionsappraisal, arrangement, description, reference, preservation, and publicationare also introduced. Finally, early applications of automation to archives including SPINDEX, NARS5, NARSA1, MARC AMC, presNET, CTRACK, PHOTO, and DIARY and automation trends for the future are discussed. The article presents a cogent introduction to archival operations, thereby providing 1 a basis for understanding distinctions between current archival and library practices and 2 insight concerning the possible convergence of selected roles and functions.
