FINDING AIDS
What is a finding aid?
A description that typically consists of contextual and structural information about an archival resource. Often a finding aid places archival resources in context by consolidating information about the collection, such as acquisition and processing; provenance, including administrative history or biographical note; scope of the collection, including size, subjects, media; organization and arrangement; and an inventory of the series and the folders. Finding aids could also describe a single level or a single item.
Definition obtained from the Society of American Archivists.
