Archival Description is the practice of cataloguing records — creating finding aids, applying standards like ISAD(G), establishing provenance — so that a collection is actually discoverable rather than just stored. It's core to the Archivist role at institutions ranging from state archives to university special collections and private heritage trusts across India. Most archivists build this skill through library-and-information-science postgraduate programs plus on-the-job cataloguing of real collections.
