A basic level of description of the material on an item level, at a minimum, by identifying each item with a unique identification number, is necessary for further processing. For born-digital material, this can be easily done using software (which will be discussed later). In contrast, for physical material, we need to go through each individual item manually and identify it. A more detailed description of the content on the item level is preferable, as it allows for it to be more easily searched for and located and provides more detail and context, which all significantly improve future preservation and access. However, this might not always be possible despite those potential benefits being of essential concern for human rights archives.
