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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 19:02, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
