ISAD(G) (General International Standard Archival Description)

ISAD(G) (General International Standard Archival Description) is a set of guidelines used to organize and describe archives and their contents. It ensures consistent, clear, and detailed information about each collection—such as its origin, scope, and structure—making it easier for researchers and users to find and understand materials. By following these standards, archivists create uniform descriptions that improve accessibility, preservation, and management of historical records and documents across institutions worldwide.
