Evaluation report on the processing of private archives (2015-2020) / the Evaluation Function, Corporate Planning and Accountability Division.: SB4-62/2020E-PDF

"This report presents the results of the evaluation of the processing component of the Library and Archives Canada (LAC) Acquisition and Processing of Private Archives Program (APPAP). Archival processing is the means by which an institution gains physical and intellectual control over documentary heritage material it has obtained through donation, purchase or transfer. It involves arranging and describing archival material to prepare it for access and long-term preservation. In particular, at LAC, the program's documentation identifies the following stages in the processing workflow: registration, accessioning, arrangement (includes intellectual and physical control), description, and quality assurance. The evaluation covered the period from April 2015 to March 2020 and addressed the following questions: to what extent are the internal policies, procedures and service standards adhered to during the processing of private archives; how efficient is the processing of private archives at LAC; and what progress has been made in attaining the short- and medium-term program results to which the component contributes?"--Executive summary, page 3.
