Recovery of Historical Records

Inventory, recovery and structuring of evidence of hearings and contributions.

The problem

Deliverables

  • inventory of information sources by unit;
  • reconstructed, standardised records, ready for upload;
  • list of doubtful cases and of withholding decisions for the body to take;
  • methodological note documenting the criteria applied.

Method

  1. document sampling and quotation;
  2. source inventory and definition of qualification criteria;
  3. recovery, standardisation and quality control;
  4. validation by the body and handover.

What is not included

  • the decision on what is published, which always rests with the body;
  • access to personal mailboxes without a framework defined by the body.

Responsibility for validating and publishing the information always remains with the client body.
