 Title:  Seventh Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1936-37  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: IT HAS been the practice in previous reports of this series to relate archival developments at the University of Virginia and in the Commonwealth to those in other states and in the nation at large, in order to keep abreast with the national movement in this field of scholarship. Events of the past year point to a new era in the science of archives in the United States, to large-scale co-operation in providing guides to archives and manuscript collections of all kinds, and to a journal for discussion of problems and policies. In the care and administration of their archives some states can boast of notable accomplishments reaching back several generations; others have undertaken their responsibility during the present century; and all have had the opportunity of seeking the counsel of the Public Archives Commission of the American Historical Association.1 1.Cf. American Historical Association, Annual Report for 1922 (Washington, 1926), I, pages 152-60. It was the pioneering of this Commission that led to the founding of the Society of American Archivists during the meeting of the American Historical Association at Providence, R. I., December 29, 1936; and it is also significant that the first annual meeting of the new society, June 18-19, 1937, was held in the National Archives Building, Washington, D. C.
