Archive Bank attaches great importance to high-quality inputting. However, this does not imply that the archive descriptions have to be very extensive. The number of obligatory fields is limited. Only the identification data such as title, archive creator, size, dating, etc. must be filled in. The file cards also do not have to be completed immediately, they can easily be supplemented later.
