ISAD
Any idea on why there is no Wikipedia page for ISAD?

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)
