− | == Create a new archival description ==
| + | [[Glossary#Archival institution|Archival institution]] descriptions are structured into [[Glossary#Information area|information areas]] based on the ICA's International Standard for Describing Institutions with Archival Holdings ([[RS-3|ISDIAH]]). This section describes how to add, edit, and delete [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institutions]]. The data entry pages listed below give detailed notes and explanations on every [[Glossary#Field|field]] included on the [[Glossary#Edit page|edit page]]; where there is a one-to-one correspondence between an ISDIAH [[Glossary#Data element|data element]] and an ICA-AtoM [[Glossary#Field|field]], the note typically just gives the ISDIAH rule verbatim. |
