A Standard and Guide to Best Practice for Archaeological Archiving in Europe (EAC GUIDELINES 1)

Description

The aim of the Standard and Guide to Best Practice in Archaeological Archiving in Europe is to make archaeological data, information and knowledge available, stable, consistent and accessible for present and future generations. Archaeological archives contain material objects (finds), records and data about our past which are irreplaceable and vulnerable to damage and loss. The Guide consists of a Standard accompanied by best practice Guidance for archaeological archiving, both of which will enable archaeologists to archive properly the material and documentary results of their work. It sets out how to care for and curate that archive both before and after it is placed in permanent storage. 

 

This project was realised with the support of Culture Programme 2007-2013 of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Union.

 

This guide is also available in other European languages [see related works for DOIs].
