Dear friends in North America,
You folks don't need this anymore, but here's a great website to pass on to students or other scholars on their way to their first
archival visit in the Old World. It's a prize-winning programmed
learning project giving one practice in the use of an archive and the interpretation of sources:
http://www.adfontes.unizh.ch/
Greetings,
Steve Buckwalter (H-German)
I can highly recommend this Swiss resource on the Stiftsarchiv Einsiedeln, but it is only in German!

Saddam soon will be history, writes Martin Kramer in his Weblog about the Middle East. It's important that the United States collect and preserve as much of it as possible. I refer to the vast archives of the various arms of the Iraqi regime: the presidency of the republic, the Baath Party, the Republican Guard, the intelligence and security organizations, the ministries of foreign affairs and information, and more. If the United States establishes a military authority to run the country, it should do what the Western allies did in occupied Germany: collect and collate the archives of the enemy.

Excerpt of an answer to a question about copyright in archival practice (from the Archives Listserv):
Some suggestions:
Michael Les Benedict, "Historians and the Continuing
Controversy over Fair Use of Unpublished Manuscript
Materials," The American Historical Review, 91 (1986),
859-881.
Kenneth D. Crews, "Fair Use of Unpublished Works:
Burdens of Proof and the Integrity of Copyright,"
Arizona State Law Journal, 31 (1999), 2-93 (the notes
in this article are very useful)
Tomas A. Lipinski, ed., Libraries, Museums, and
Archives: Legal Issues and Ethical Challenges in the
New Information Era (Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press,
2002). There is an article by Crews, and several
others that might be helpful.
I can add an important online resource which has disappeared from the net but is still in the Google cache: Peter Hirtle, Unpublished materials, new technologies, and copyright: facilitating scholarly use.
