Message definition (Planning and Organizing)

This process of grouping, ordering, and devising the structure of the material—which, in archival terms, is referred to as “arrangement”—cannot be conducted by following a cookbook-like instruction manual. It requires analysis and consideration of the material and the context in which it was created, discovered, or received. The goal is to devise a structure and order that will preserve as much of the original context of the material as possible, including the information and meaning contained in the original relationships between groups of material. To achieve this, the archival rule of thumb is to arrange the material with respect to its “provenance” (i.e., origin or creator) and “original order.” This means mirroring, or following to the greatest extent possible, the structure and order that is already contained in the material itself. The presumption here is that there is either an obvious or underlying logic and order to the organization of any given group of material selected for archiving, and that in the process of organizing the source material we can identify or uncover this logic and then mirror it.

Este proceso de agrupar, ordenar y diseñar la estructura del material, que en términos de archivo se conoce como “arreglo”, no puede llevarse a cabo siguiendo un manual de instrucciones como si fuera un libro de cocina. Requiere análisis y consideración del material y el contexto en el que fue creado, descubierto o recibido. El objetivo es idear una estructura y un orden que conserve tanto como sea posible el contexto original del material, incluida la información y el significado contenidos en las relaciones originales entre grupos de material.
