This project aims to determine the most important descriptive elements required in worksheets for arrangement and description of archival records. The research employed a descriptive survey design and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The research population included 7 experts in the field of archives, especially archival arrangement and description. The descriptive indicators of the questionnaire have been extracted through the study of the descriptive elements existing in the General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)), Canada's Rules for Archival Description (RAD), the Commonwealth Record Series (CRS) System in Australia, and the National Archives of Iran's Manual for the Arrangement and Description of Archival Records. The findings of the research show that six necessary elements of the International Standard for Archival Description are also important from the viewpoint of archival experts of Iran. Furthermore, it was indicated that the elements selected by the archival experts of Iran were mostly in harmony with descriptive elements of the International Standard for Archival Description. Therefore, it seems necessary to benefit from international standards and experiences in addition to local requirements.
