Documentation standards handbook

A practical handbook for documenters: what to collect, how to store it, how to record consent, and how to keep yourself safe.

Written for people documenting in difficult conditions rather than for researchers in an office. It covers evidentiary standards in plain language, storage and encryption, consent procedures, and the security practices that protect both the documenter and the source.
