EAD Elements: <admininfo> Administrative Information

Description:

A wrapper element for descriptive background information that helps readers of the finding aid know how to approach the archival materials and make use of the information they find. Includes information about acquisition source and custodial history, availability of microform or digital surrogates, processing method, preferred citation, restrictions on use or reproduction, and other kinds of administrative information.
