Re: Documentation planning



I was waiting to see if someone else would respond to this, but since no one has, I'll give my thoughts on it. It's hard to tell with the phrase out of context, but I would guess it refers to planning for a documentation project. The New York State Archives is very high on documentation of underdocumented subjects. Once an archive/county/region has come to the conclusion that there is some aspect of history they cover which should be documented but is not well-represented (or not represented at all) in one or more archives in the region, people would need to map out a strategy for collecting information about that topic. I would assume that this might be what "documentation planning" refers to.

Could someone define "documentation planning" -- it sounds like a fancy
way of describing setting up a filing system.
