Finding aids are indexes used to catalog detailed information about collections within an archive. They are used by researchers to determine whether information within a collection is relevant to their research. Finding aids often describe the scope of the collection, biographical and historical information related to the collection, and access details.

Finding aids can be created in various electronic and print formats. The standard machine-readable format for finding aids is Encoded Archival Description.
