Archival description: 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 and in the Data entry (UM-3.4) section gives detailed notes and explanations on every field included on the Edit screen. Where there is a one-to-one connection between an ISAD(G) element of description and an ICA-AtoM field, the note typically just gives the ISAD(G) rule verbatim.
