Apologies for Cross-Postings
The SAA Description Section welcomes contributions to the newly created Description Documentation Portal, located on the section's microsite. This portal will host documentation related to archival description in a broad sense, including traditional archival processing manuals, workflow checklists and templates, descriptive style guides, and guidelines for describing specific formats. We hope this will serve as a helpful resource to new professionals, seasoned archivists, lone arrangers, and archivists in large departments, as well as students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in archival description.
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis. We accept documentation in all formats, including PDFs, Microsoft Word documents, LibGuides, websites, GitHub repositories, and blogs. Please ensure that links are active and access to your online documentation is open to users outside your institution.
To submit documentation, please email the section's Web Liaison, Scott Kirycki, at skirycki@nd.edu with links to or attachments of your documentation and the following information:
