General International Standards for Archival Description

The General International Standards for Archival Description (ISAAR(CPF)) are guidelines that help archivists systematically organize and describe collections of historical records. They ensure consistent and clear information about the origins, context, and contents of archives, making it easier for users to locate and understand materials. This standardized approach promotes interoperability and accessibility across institutions worldwide, facilitating effective management, research, and preservation of valuable archival records.
