Abstract
  • Since Mark A. Greene and Dennis Meissner introduced the idea of "More Product Less Process" (MPLP), there appears to have been a shift to "light" processing in various types of archival institutions. Since 2005 the literature discussing this idea has focused on differing opinions of archivists and whether they use MPLP. Many institutions have quoted and clearly expressed their acceptance of MPLP within their processing procedures. However, there is a clear line between organizations that have accepted and denied the use of the idea. This study examines whether MPLP is actually a recent change that occurred within the last decade or an ideal part of processing within archival institutions for several years.
