Table of the Archive's Structure is an advanced version of the identification Inventory, which reflects a hierarchical arrangement of series and collections of item groups. In the table of the archive's structure, the main units of analysis—described in terms of their size, format, amount, etc.—are not only individual item groups but also series and collections of these item groups, arranged in a hierarchical way. The table of the archive's structure hence contains information about our material, metadata (on the archive’s structure, grouping of files in collections, series, subseries, and folders), and additional descriptive and technical metadata that we selected to add into it. It is a necessary tool that allows proper archival processing of the source material and the archive’s organization and management.
