609 - Documenting Decisions: Strategies and Workflows for Consistent and Transparent Processing

Have you ever asked yourself, What was that archivist thinking? Archivists often inherit their predecessors' processing and management decisions that just don't make sense. We may be creating the same confusion for our successors and constituencies if we fail to document our actions now. See how five diverse institutions implemented a range of practical solutions to enhance transparency among colleagues, curatorial and reference staff, administrators, and the public.
