This new edition has been revised and updated to incorporate the many developments in the field, reflecting the growth and dynamism of the sector and the complexity of the environment in which we operate.

Lessons/impact of Covid-19: managing remote access by staff and users, emergency planning, health and safety, risk assessments, and new legislation affecting special collections, notably in the UK, the Data Protection Act 2018, are also covered. New and revised standards, such as the new British Standards relating to collections care, BS EN 16893 and BS 4971, which replace PD5454, are also discussed.
New and emerging technologies in collections discovery, digitization, digital resource and digital libraries, and how to manage them and build capacity, are particularly emphasized. Particular attention will be paid to the implications of the 'digital shift and the place of special collections in online and hybrid learning.'
Comprehensive and written in a highly accessible manner, The Special Collections Handbook, Third Edition, will be an essential resource for staff working with special collections in a wide range of settings, including academia, public libraries.
