Archival description in edit mode: all information areas collapsed

Archival description records are structured into information areas based on the ICA's General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)). This section describes how to create, edit and delete archival descriptions. The Data entry pages listed below give detailed notes and explanations on every field included on the edit screen; where there is a one-to-one correspondence between an ISAD(G) data element and an ICA-AtoM field, the note typically just gives the ISAD(G) rule verbatim.
