| Abstract: | Unlike scholars in many other disciplines, economists show little organized concern for preserving disciplinary archives. Consider the contrast between the community of mathematicians and the community of economists. The records of economists, their contribution to the larger social and political entity, their institutional connections to colleges, universities, research organizations, and government agencies are not systematically preserved. To remedy this, the authors offer an overview of where archival resources are to be found, what they contain, what is their value in research and teaching, how to save economists' papers. |
