Information on the physical or logical arrangement of the record(s), or how they have been treated by the The National Archives. For example: Alphabetically, county by county, in subject order within blocks of years. May apply to all levels except item

is the body of principles and practices which archivists follow to group records in such a way as to reflect the manner in which they were held and used by the office or person creating the records. It involves the fundamental principles of respect des fonds, provenance, and sanctity of original order. The key units in archival arrangement are: record groups, sub-groups, and record series.

In files management, the act or result of placing records in a particular order or sequence. See also CLASSIFICATION (1), FILING, RECORDS MAINTENANCE AND USE.

"The intellectual and physical process of putting archives and records into order in accordance with accepted archival principles, particularly those of provenance and original order. If, after detailed examination, the original order is identified as a totally haphazard accumulation making the records irretrievable (but not an odd, unorderly, or difficult arrangement), the archivist may (after documenting this original order) impose an arrangement that presents the records objectively and facilitates their use. See also Description, Original order." (KA, p.464)

The act and result of physically organizing records in accordance with archival principles such as provenance and original order. The process includes sorting, packing in file folders and boxes, labelling, and shelving.

The order in which information is presented in a book (i.e. alphabetical, chronological, by subject, etc.). Determining arrangement contributes to the effective use of that work.

The intellectual and physical processes and results of organizing documents in accordance with accepted archival principles, particularly provenance. (SAA Glossary)

The intellectual and physical operations involved in the analysis and organization of records. Based upon the principle of provenance, and especially the principle of original order, the purpose of arrangement is to group the components of a fonds into an order which reflects the system by which the documents were originally created and used. Such a system will (i) reflect the structure and/or functions of the creator; (ii) show relationships between records; and (iii) demonstrate the original meaning and significance of the documents. If no original order is evident, then an order based upon other criteria (such as functions, or alphabetical, chronological, geographical, or subject order) may be used. Arrangement may be carried out at all or any of the following levels: repository, fonds, series, file unit, or item.

The organization of archival materials according to accepted archival principles. Physical arrangement includes numbering, foldering, labelling and shelving. The intellectual arrangement involves the organization of a fonds and collection which reflects the use of the records by an individual, family, or corporate body. Usually a fonds/collection is arranged hierarchically: Series; sub-series; files; items. See the Whiteway example See also: Arrangement Note

n. The act of putting in proper order, or the state of being put in order.

The intellectual and physical processes and results of organizing documents in accordance with accepted archival principles, at as many as necessary of the following levels: collection, record group, subgroup, series, subseries, file unit, and item. The processes usually include packing, labeling, and shelving and are primarily intended to achieve physical control over archival holdings. (SAA)
