ISAD

Any idea on why there is no Wikipedia page for ISAD?

Is this the item in question? http://www.ica.org/en/node/30000 --Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 14:03, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

At present, we have ISAD(G) (General International Standard Archival Description) issued by the International Council on Archives (ICA).--151.28.188.248 (talk) 05:33, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Finding aid. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100818015843/http://www.ica.org/en/node/30000 to http://www.ica.org/en/node/30000

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Proposed reorganization

As part of class on archives, I would like to re-structure this article to provide more information how to use and generate finding aids. There's a good deal of information, but the organization is not conducive to helping a newcomer understand the document. Most of the article consists of an overview section; I would like to break this down into 'Purpose,' 'Components,' 'How to use,' and 'How to create' sections. The 'Components' section needs a better description of the contents list, a crucial part of a finding aid. Time permitting, I would like to reduce the list of examples while incorporating some in the text of the article. Does this seem like a good plan of action?Student-historian (talk) 22:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
