Archive Model Definitions
This document explains the four different folder arrangements used to organise information across the Scole Archive. It acts as a guide to understanding how files are grouped—whether by the exact date of a session, by a general theme, or as a simple alphabetical list—ensuring the entire collection remains consistent and easy to navigate.

This document defines the folder structures used to organise data. Adherence to these models ensures cross-series consistency and navigational clarity.
1. THE SESSION MODEL
- Structure: 464 third-level folders (Session-###-YYYY-MM-DD).
- Application: Primary data captured during specific experimental sittings.
- Series: 02, 03, 04, 06, 07, 08.
2. THE DESCRIPTIVE MODEL
- Structure: Numerically prefixed, descriptive folders (e.g., General-01-...).
- Application: Thematic data not tied to a single session date.
- Note: Series 05-BUL exclusively uses 'Bulletin-##'.
- Series: 01, 05, 11, 12, 13.
3. THE LIBRARY MODEL
- Structure: Flat second-level folder (No third-level subfolders).
- Application: Alphabetical reference profiles to prevent data redundancy.
- Series: 09, 10.
4. THE HYBRID MODEL
- Structure: Combination of Descriptive and Session folders.
- Application: Administrative requirements needing both thematic and chronological filing. Currently utilised in Series 01-ADM.
