- Summary:
-
An archival collection is a unique body of information, created at a particular time by a particular organization or individual as the result of a particular activity. If the cultural record contained in an archive is to be accessible, the archivist must examine, organize, and describe each collection individually. Introduction to Archival Organization and Description guides the novice to an understanding of the nature of archival information and documentation.
