Summary:	Extensible processing is an iterative approach to archival processing that involves creating a baseline level of access to all holdings in an archival repository, then conducting additional processing based on user demand and further assessment of collections. Santamaria introduces strategies to allow for both the elimination of backlogs of collections materials already in the possession of archives, and the development of procedures to avoid the accumulation of backlogs in the first place.
