Australian Series System

The Australian Series System is an archival control or metadata system, used primarily to describe records in the custody of archival institutions.

It was developed at the Australian Archives in the 1960s and forms the basis for the Australian Society of Archivists' committee on descriptive standards guide ″Describing archives in context″.[1][2][3] It is noted for its separation of data about record-keeping and context.[4]
