Searchability for our users determines how easy or difficult it is to find what they are looking for in our archive. The searchability of our archive will depend on the type and quality of metadata we collect about our material and how well we organize it and provide it to the archive’s users. Using different metadata as “tags” or “keywords” associated with certain items or groups will help users find them more easily. Further, we can provide users with a map of our archive to guide them by preparing a catalog using the descriptions of the collections, series, and other elements of our archive’s structure. However, the searchability of any online accessible archive will mainly rely on the quality of the search that can be performed through a dedicated search engine.
