Appraisal and Description

You want to comply with the retention schedule in your archive and easily identify records warranting long-term preservation.

We comply with legal and administrative guidelines and the international standards for archival description ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF).

We know the retention periods from a legal, administrative and historical perspective and eliminate records from your archive whose retention period has expired (appraisal).

  • We structure records according to archival science criteria.
  • We create a classification system based on the existing holdings.
  • We develop an archival description according to international standards.
  • We eliminate duplicate records or those not warranting preservation (detailed evaluation during description).
  • We process paper documents, removing any metal or plastic parts, and repack the records into age-resistant containers according to ISO 9706.
