Once the Archive has confirmed it is working with the proper custodian, it will conduct a survey of the records identified in Part A2 in order to collect the information needed to undertake the assessments described throughout the rest of Section A. In addition to collecting information the Archive will analyze the records in order to assess their continuing value and authenticity. This assessment will be combined with an assessment of the feasibility of preservation (Parts A4 through A10) in making a final appraisal decision. The appraisal work in this Part focuses on whether the records intellectually belong in the Archive, asking if it should accession the records.
