Abstract: This article examines archival description generated by the archival management software for records creators in Croatia. Authors explain practices with finding aids in records creators and Croatian National Archives institutions. The authors outline the creation and linking of ISAD(G) and ISAAR (CPF) descriptions in the tool-supported practice. The automated creation of an inventory in a human-readable form of “classical” printable finding aid as well as in the EAD3 1.0 XML form is also explained in the article. In the end, considering the significance of finding aids for records and archival management abilities, as well as for information and knowledge sharing abilities of records creators and institutions with archival holdings, the authors propose a maturity model for those institutions based on automation and usability of their finding aids.
