-As stated in the Guidelines for the Preparation and Presentation of Finding Aids developed by the ICA/CDS, in addition to the overview of fonds and collections, guides usually include general information about archival institutions that hold documents and the services they provide. The advent of the Internet and of the World Wide Web makes it increasingly important for users to obtain such information.

-With the Internet, users have access to archival systems describing records held by a number of different archival institutions. Connecting records descriptions to relevant information on their custodians, is essential to provide the users with a comprehensive understanding of the archival material described. Moreover, without this information, the users are unable to access the archives.
+The main purpose of the standard is to facilitate the description of institutions whose primary function is to keep archives and to make them available to the general public. But other entities such as cultural institutions (libraries, museums), businesses, families or individuals may hold archives. This standard or an appropriate subset of its elements can be applied to all entities which provide access to the records they hold.

-ISAD(G) provides guidance for the description of fonds and their component parts. ISAAR(CPF) provides guidance to record authority information about the creators of archives. For a consistent archival information system the description of the same entity as creator or as custodian requires different approaches and elements of description. This is the purpose of ISIAH.
+In addition, this standard makes provision for linking from information about institutions to descriptions of the records they hold and their creators. These descriptions should comply with ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF). Links to archival materials may be established according to arrangement or classification schemes applied by the institutions with archival holdings, enabling them to maintain intellectual control over their fonds.
