In Flanders you can make use of TRACKS, a digital toolbox with guidelines for archive and collection care in the arts sector. The website is structured as a suitcase with the necessary tools for artists and arts organisations to care for their archive and/or collection(s), as well as to archive them digitally.
For example, here you can read everything about basic care. You can also contact TRACKS with any questions about archive and collection care.
TRACKS also offers plenty of practical examples from which you can draw inspiration to get started yourself.
