This annotated bibliography examines sources which give insight into the history of archives and recordkeeping during the Middle Ages. Because the history of archives is Eurocentric, this bibliography attempts to include archival perspectives outside of Europe, and aims to examine a number of different archival repositories. The bibliography touches on ecclesiastical archives, civic archives, university archives and private archives. Within the sources, themes of power and the importance of social memory are investigated, and organizational change within a variety of different archives is examined.References
