A first year student’s reading list
Colin Fletcher, The Man from the Cave. Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1982
This story of an unusual American life rescued from anonymity through the casual discovery of a few mysterious objects is a wonderful case study about the thrill of discovery in intellectual pursuit. This should be the most accessible book on this list for the young reader.

Lara Jennifer Moore, Restoring Order: The Ecole des Chartes and the Organization of Archives and Libraries in France, 1820-1870. Litwin Books, LLC, Duluth, 2008
“According to most histories of French archives and libraries, the nineteenth century was a period of slow but steady recovery from the trauma of the revolutionary era. In contrast, Moore argues that the organization of archives and libraries in nineteenth-century France was neither steady nor progressive. By following the development of the Ecole des Chartes, the state school for archivists and librarians, Moore shows that conceptions of "order" changed dramatically from one decade to the next. More important, she argues that these changing notions of "order" were directly connected to contemporary shifts in state politics. Since each new political regime had its own conceptions of both national history and public knowledge, each one worked to "restore order" in a different way.”, --- Amazon.com, 2011
Ralph Kingston, "The French Revolution and the Materiality of the Modern Archive". Libraries and the Cultural Record 46 No. 1, Austin, 2011
“Historians of vandalism and conservation during the French Revolution have treated the archive as an idea, an expression of modern political culture, and have largely ignored its material history. When revolutionaries "attacked" Old Regime depots, however, they were spurred on by necessity: locating valuable property titles, or paper for use as gunpowder funnels. Moreover, it was only when limited space in ministry buildings forced New Regime administrators to discard documents from their own holdings that archivists embraced historical conservation. Through ministerial deposits in the Archives nationales, the archive as a lieu de mémoire—legitimized by a respect des fonds—took shape in nineteenth-century France.”, --- University of Texas, 2011
