  • Archivists, Especially in His Conclusions. He Mixes Theoretical
    BOOK REVIEWS 247 archivists, especially in his conclusions. He mixes theoretical analysis with "scientific" typol- ogylquantitative testing and claims primacy for the latter while beginning and concluding with, and frequently referring to, the former. His intent and methodology~uantitativetypology construction and testing-are typical of some American information "scientists." But, perhaps the most valuable contribution of the book -his analysis of the project and its possible impli- cations, i.e., advancing our understanding of archival theory through informed discussion - more closely resembles the Canadian approach in the publications cited above.
