Descriptive Notes is the blog of SAA's Description Section, featuring discussions relating to issues of archival description. We would like to hear from you about your case studies, projects, collaborations, and any conversations that would be of interest to readers. We are still accepting pitches for our Accessioning Description series, and we especially encourage posts from students to feature in our Student Voices series.
