UTARMS Archivist Daniela Ansovini recently co-authored an article titled,  “Knowledge Lost, Knowledge Gained: The Implications of Migrating to Online Archival Descriptive Systems," published in the journal KULA: Knowledge Creation, Dissemination, and Preservation Studies.

The article considers how migrating archival description from paper-based finding aids to structured online data reconfigures the dynamics of archival representation and interactions. It can be read at https://doi.org/10.18357/kula.234.
