Religious Archives: An Introduction . By August R. Suelflow. Chicago: Society of American Archivists, 1980. 56 pp. £7.00

Presented in the format of the Basic Manual Series of the Society of American Archivists, this publication presents an overview of religious archives in America. The writer has been recognized for a long time among archivists as one whose achievements have been associated with preserving the records of Lutheran churches in America. He has provided appendixes from Concordia Historical Institute and recognized the work of several of the more than 500 religious archives in America. The information is not directed at a clearly defined audience. It is generally too technical for use by a congregation for guidance in the preparation of records for preservation and too facile for the archivist or historian who has more than a nodding acquaintance with archival standards, processes, and techniques. The publication pulls together into a single source a series of topics with which the archivist of religious materials should have general proficiency. It forms a handy summary of data, particularly the section dealing with photo duplication and microfilming. Archivists of religious data are distinct from other archivists only in the need for knowledge of specific content in order to function at a high level.
