ISAD(G) (International Standard Archival Description)

ISAD(G), or the International Standard Archival Description, is a set of guidelines used by archivists to organize and describe historical records and collections. It provides a consistent framework for documenting the content, context, and structure of records, making it easier for users to find and understand archival materials. By following ISAD(G), archivists ensure that collections are described clearly and uniformly, facilitating efficient access, management, and preservation of records across institutions worldwide.
