This issue of COMMA intends to show the commonalities and differences in the functions, characteristics and structure of local, municipal and territorial archives in different countries, and how these relate to their political and institutional organization. Sixteen articles, of diverse geographical origin (including Europe, South and North America, Australasia and Japan) are organized around three themes: relationships between local archives and other state institutions; the organization and management of municipal archives; and finally, the types of services provided to citizens.
Comma can be accessed with your ICA username and password at: Comma via Metapress (en). (Non-members can access individual articles on a pay-per-view basis at http://online.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/loi/coma )
