EAD Elements: <fileplan> File Plan

Description:

An Adjunct Descriptive Data <add> subelement for information about any classification scheme used for arranging, storing, and retrieving the described materials by the parties originally responsible for creating or compiling them. A filing plan is usually identified by the type of system used, e.g., alphabetical, numerical, alpha-numerical, decimal, color-coded, etc. It is often hierarchical and may include the filing guidelines of the originating organization. Additional types include a drawing of a room layout or a scientific scheme.

Do not confuse with Other Finding Aid <otherfindaid> which contains references to additional descriptions of the material rather than descriptions of classification schemes by which the materials might still be arranged.

May contain:

address, blockquote, chronlist, fileplan, head, list, note, p, table

May occur within:

add, fileplan
