We feel that our project outcomes were exceeded as we have been able to identify and prioritize work to do in the upcoming year as well as we were not expecting to have already identified new protocols for MQP documentation procedures. I think that we received these results because of the opportunity to work with a trained archivist, she helped us identify areas of organization that we had not recognized were needed.
