Translations:Planning and Organizing/98/en

Now that we have organized our archival material, we need to describe its content to allow anyone to search for, locate, and access items in the collection. Description of archival material also enables its proper preservation and guides future users by providing crucial contextual information. It further enables establishing connections between items, even from different series. But, without description, an archive would be more of a form of storage in which it would eventually become impossible to find or manage content.
