Overview

This document provides a specific set of policies for creating and editing articles in the Archive. Policies are decided upon by the Guild of Archivists, though feedback and input on policies is accepted from anyone who wishes to participate in the discussion. Guild members are expected to ensure that the Archive is kept in-line with these policies at all times.

Please note that this page is a summary overview of our policies. If a specific sub-set of standards becomes too lengthy to quickly and easily summarize on this page, it will be split off into a new article.

Guild oversight

Policies are decided upon by the members of the Guild of Archivists. While visitors and community members are welcome and encouraged to participate in the development process for new policies, the Guild makes the final determination on what will be adopted.
