Translations:Addendum II/20/en

The workspace must offer protection from the elements in order to avoid any further physical damage to the documents. Even though this space may not be the one where the archive is eventually stored, it is needed at this time to centralize the documents and begin to review and organize them. This space must be clean and dry, free of pets and pests, and have little traffic. This is where the initial organization of the documents will begin and the process of identification, cleaning, organization, and preservation will be carried out. Ideally, the space should be properly lit and ventilated, furnished with worktables and shelves, and have doors that allow for controlled access to the documents.
