Inventories
Archival description is a process of communicating information about sets of papers or records to potential users. It commonly includes such descriptive practices as repository-wide or subject guides, the creation of bibliographic records for inclusion in online catalogs, and inventories.
Archival inventories are essentially descriptions of all of the series of related materials identified with a record group or collection, preceded by a description of the organization or individuals which created the materials. An inventory, also called a register or guide, includes the following information:
Introductory Information, such as a title page, table of contents, and donor information.
Agency History or Biography, containing histories or organizational units or biographies of individuals or families, summarizing their functions, events, and activities essential to understanding the records.
Series Description, which is the heart of the inventory, is the description of the series established as part of arrangement and contains the series number, title, dates, volume and physical format.
Scope and Content Note, which is a summary description of the records making up different series within the collection and may include information about the way in which the records were generated, used and maintained; the time span and contents of major series; the availability of copies or transcripts; and overall arrangement.
Folder or Container Lists, which are simply the lists of each box, folder or other filing units in each series of records.
