The way to make the most of archive material and reach a document as quickly as possible is to know first what you have. A feasibility study provides this knowledge by collecting document information from department representatives through institution-specific survey forms.

A document inventory is created, document types are identified and retention periods are determined for each type. This work is the foundation of digital archive and physical organisation projects.

It decides, year by year, the retention period within the institution, the destruction of records whose legal period has expired and the transfer of records of research value to the State Archives (Devlet Arşivleri). The plan is prepared according to legal regulations and archival appraisal criteria.

The work is carried out with the advice of academics from universities' Information and Records Management departments.
