Audra Eagle Yun’s Archival Accessioning is an excellent introductory text for any archival practitioner looking to build an accessioning program or understand the distinction between accessioning and processing. Yun fills a notable gap in the literature by elevating the labor behind accessioning work and providing clear guidance on what accessioning entails. The work is divided into two parts: part 1 outlines the history, principles, and labor aspects of archival accessioning; the second section comprises case studies that apply these workflows to a variety of institutional types and material formats.
