Abstract
Based on historical research, personal files, and survey data, this article begins with a pragmatic description of the present state of archival education for automation. The author acknowledges the propriety of technical instruction but argues for such training within the broader context of graduate education. Basic confusion exists in defining continuing education and differences between workshops and formal course work for archivists. The Society of American Archivists has played a pivotal but often contradictory role and is now being complemented by a new cadre of full-time archival educators. Given the immensity and confusing terminology of the ongoing computer revolution, the author argues that archivists need to take a step back to develop a clear pedagogical vision on automation and graduate archival education
