The AJHS archives are organised with a hierarchial system of

Collection > Subcollection > Series > Item

Here we have a Programme for an Order of Service Commemoration for John Monash.

This is an item, as shown in the header below the title. An item is a document, photograph, or letter for example. It's the lowest level in the hierarchy.

We can see the hierarchial system related to this item:

• The series is "Programmes of the Great Synagogue". A series is one or more items linked together. Think of a series as a folder of documents of the same type.
• The subcollection is The Great Synagogue. Subcollections contain series.

Understanding this hierarchy will help the researcher locate records throughtout the AJHS Archives.

Additionally, here's an explanation of some of the fields:

• Provenance: Refers to the person, family or organisation that created the records in the course of business or personal activities.
