[CODE4LIB] Workflow analysis of archival arrangement and description
I'm currently looking for any workflow and business process analysis of the processes involved in processing archival collections. At this point, I'm hoping to find fairly high-level information, ideally in the form of or easily translatable into workflow diagrams to serve as a strawman. Processing manuals may help, but likely are too detailed for my current purposes. Please let me know if you have anything that might help. Best, Mark A. Matienzo Digital Archivist, Manuscripts and Archives Yale University Library
