Bøger af Jeanette White Ford

The Archivists' New Testament (KJV) is a new arrangement of the New Testament documents according to archival principles. Jeanette White Ford, former archivist with the National Archives, Southwest Branch, has arranged the ancient books into a logical, usable order. By attributing each of the 27 books to one of four early Christian church leaders, Ford divides the New Testament into four sections: (1) the documents of Peter's mission team; (2) the documents of James' team; (3) the documents of Paul's mission team; and (4) the documents of John and his helpers. Within these sections, the books are placed by literary type, then by date whenever possible. "This is not a chronological arrangement," Ford points out. "Instead, this sequencing seeks to place each book into its logical space within the whole. I hope this volume will give new insights to students and scholars of the Bible." Ford is the author of Archival Principles and Practice, McFarland, 1990, and Archives for Churches, Wipf and Stock, 1995.

This is a guidebook for archival assistants and new librarians. It is broken down into simple, clear, concise concepts, illustrated in line drawing, cartoon-style. Its generic nature explains the how and why of archival work with only a few sentences; and the illustrations match the concepts. Each section has the same format: introduction and definition, examples, and fill-in-the-blank review-tests for each section and each chapter. The concise five page summary at the end covers the entire book, without the pictures, and substitutes for no index. A one-page bibliography completes the book. I recommend it for large libraries with a large staff." Tim Loud, graduate student, Texas Woman's University The combination of simple statements, with images that illustrate one or two related points in an interesting way, has much to recommend it, particularly to volunteers working in the archive environment who may not have the background, or the opportunity, to digest the contents of a complex manual."
