Marquis, K., & Waggener, L. C. (2011). Historical Collections Is Adding One Right for Your Public Library?. Public Libraries, 50(2), 42-48. Retrieved from LISA.
This article consists of basic potential guidelines for how to create a historical collection in a public library, provided by two professional archivists. It includes where to begin the collection, what questions libraries should ask when developing their collection plan, who the users will be, basic archival information. It also addresses what all needs to be invested in for the collection, in terms of money and space.
For the libraries that decide an archive collection is too much work or does not fit into their libraries goals, there are also guidelines for creating a simple local history section, or a virtual archive. Both do not require as much special attention, as well as space requirements.
