These Reviews complement the textual reviews found in The American Archivist. Specifically, the Reviews Portal is envisioned as an extension of the reviews section found in the journal, but with a more specific focus: digital (and digitized) archival content, technologies, and related resources.
The content found here primarily consists of shorter reviews (500 to 750 words) than those found in the journal, and focuses on digital and digitized archival content and the technologies used in that capacity. For a specific set of guidelines on how to write a review, please see How to Write a Web Review.
If you are interested in writing a review for the Reviews Portal, please contact the Reviews Editors Rose Buchanan and Stephanie Luke. Also, see Archival Technologies and Resources for a list of technologies, resources, and digital archives and project to review.
Our latest review explores AVCC, an open-source, web-based tool from AVPreserve that is designed to help archivists begin cataloging and assessing their audiovisual collections.
