The Veterans Curation Program has established protocols and procedures for archival processing and rehabilitation projects. Standards and procedures are listed for reference. Each record format (i.e., paper, photographic, electronic, audio-visual and cartographic and oversize) has special storage requirements that are dependent upon the physical media upon which information is recorded. Each format is packaged, labeled, and described in a standardized fashion and all special cases are noted in...
