Write a short collection description

Create a plain-text note beside the collection. Describe what it contains, where the files came from and what you changed during organization.

List unexplained abbreviations and known gaps. Record any permissions or restrictions supplied with the material rather than assuming possession means permission to publish.

Update the note when you add a significant group of files. A future reader should be able to understand the folder without relying on your memory.
