Archival institution in edit mode: all information areas collapsed


Archival institution descriptions are structured into information areas based on the ICA's International Standard for Describing Institutions with Archival Holdings (ISDIAH). This section describes how to create, edit and delete archival institutions. The Data entry pages gives detailed notes and explanations for every field included on the Edit screen; where there is a one-to-one correspondence between an ISDIAH element of description and an ICA-AtoM field, the note typically just gives the ISDIAH rule verbatim.
