Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

A Practical Guidebook to Trauma-Informed Archival Practice: Best Practices and Case Studies explores trauma in archival work from the archivists' perspective.

The authors highlight practical approaches to minimizing trauma across archival work, including:
ï¿1⁄2 Supporting grieving donors throughout the donation process
ï¿1⁄2 Identifying trauma in archival workers, support staff, volunteers, and students before, during, and after exposure
ï¿1⁄2 Understanding the effects of trauma on the body and brain and offering short- and long-term solutions
