Political Considerations
1. An institution in each country is responsible for collecting and translating that country’s sites.
2.In some cases, like Eastern Europe, AIAC pays for the translation on a piecework basis. This requires fundraising.
3. Each country’s sites are served in the national language and English.
4. The record sheet is kept as short and simple as possible
