Overview


The purpose of this template is to provide an interface for archival description that follows the draft RAD2 (Rules for Archival Description, 2nd edition). This draft was prepared by the CCA's Canadian Committee on Archival Description circulated to the Canadian archival community for discussion in 2004. No consensus emerged and the draft was shelved.

RAD2 represented a major reorganization of the standard, more closely aligned to ISAD(G). The grouping of descriptive elements into areas of description was restructured, largely along ISAD(G) lines, while the division of the standard into separate media chapters was abolished, with media-specific rules integrated into the presentation of individual elements.
