Since every archive is unique, the 10 steps are merely suggestions that can be followed to organize a basic physical archive prior to the digitization of documents, a phase that follows the process proposed below. If the 10 steps are followed and all the documents in the physical archive are organized, then digitization can be carried out in the same order. Therefore, it is important to understand that any document in a physical archive must be organized, described, and stored in suitable conditions before creating a digital version, whether it will be used for the organization’s own purposes or for public disclosure.
