Translations:Maak een inventaris met beschrijvingen op stukniveau (scenario 3)/4/en

It is, however, more labour-intensive to compile. This means descriptions at item level aren't always equally useful for all parts of your archive and collection. For uniform series of consecutive documents, e.g. Board of Directors' reports, descriptions at item level offer little added value compared with descriptions at series level. But there are good arguments for describing certain other types of documents and objects at item level:

• Archival items that you want to digitise always need to be described at item level;
• A description at item level increases the findability of individual items and objects, which is certainly particularly useful for important for valuable items. Library books, sheet music and costumes are always described at item level, for example;
• A detailed inventory at item level is an important first step if you want to make your archive or collection accessible to a wide audience in an exhibition, publication or online database.
