A working sequence
Most partner projects follow the same educational logic. First we understand what records exist. Then we stabilize descriptions so items can be found again. Then we write public language that a non-specialist can trust. Consulting is the same sequence applied to another organization’s holdings.
If you represent a school, library, or cultural nonprofit, start with the archive inquiry form. Describe the collection or teaching need in plain language. Curators will tell you whether the request fits an educational archive or should be referred elsewhere.
