Overview
MongArchive reviews submitted materials before they are added to public archive pages. This process helps keep the archive organized, respectful, useful, and reliable for readers and future visitors.
Review does not mean MongArchive confirms every claim as final truth. It means the material is checked for relevance, source information, context, privacy, copyright, and archive fit before publication.
Submission Received
Submissions may include records, documents, photos, oral histories, source leads, corrections, research notes, maps, books, articles, archive links, and other materials related to Mong history, identity, language, archives, and related topics.
After a submission is received, MongArchive may place it in review before deciding whether it should be accepted, declined, corrected, labeled, or held for more information.
Initial Relevance Check
The first step is to check whether the submission fits MongArchive’s purpose. Materials should connect clearly to Mong history, origins, migrations, identity, language, books, articles, archive records, maps, research materials, oral histories, or related topics.
Submissions that are unrelated, promotional, misleading, abusive, unsafe, or not useful for the archive may not be accepted.
Source and Context Review
When possible, MongArchive checks the source details connected to a submission. Useful details may include the author, title, date, location, page number, publisher, archive link, image source, interview background, or explanation of where the material came from.
Submissions with clear source information are easier to review and organize. If important details are missing, MongArchive may ask for more information before accepting the material.
Accuracy and Labeling
MongArchive may organize accepted materials with labels, notes, descriptions, or categories to help readers understand what they are viewing. Some materials may be labeled as records, oral history, research notes, source leads, corrections, or reviewed contributions.
If a submission includes interpretation, theory, family memory, or oral history, MongArchive may label it clearly so readers understand the difference between a primary source, a research material, and a personal account.
Privacy and Copyright Review
MongArchive may review submissions for privacy, copyright, safety, and respectful use. Materials that include private information, living people, family records, photos, letters, or sensitive details may require extra care before publication.
Do not submit materials that you do not have permission to share. If copyright, privacy, or ownership concerns are raised, MongArchive may remove, decline, limit, or hold the material for further review.
Status Labels
During the review process, submitted materials may be given a review label so contributors and readers understand the status of the material.

The material may be useful, but more source information is needed before it can be accepted. This may include citations, author names, dates, locations, archive links, page numbers, permissions, or background context.
Reviewed
Reviewed
The material has been reviewed by the archive team and may be ready for organization, editing, labeling, or placement. Reviewed does not mean the item has been confirmed as final historical truth.
Accepted
Accepted
The material has been accepted for archive use and may be added to an archive record, source note, research page, reading list, document page, oral history entry, or related public archive section.
Not Accepted
Not Accepted
The material was not accepted because it may be unrelated, unsupported, unclear, unsafe, private, copyrighted, promotional, misleading, or not suitable for MongArchive.
Accepted Materials
Accepted materials may be organized into archive records, research pages, source notes, reviewed contributions, reading lists, maps, document pages, oral history entries, or related public archive sections.
MongArchive may edit formatting, titles, descriptions, labels, or presentation to keep the archive clear and consistent. The meaning of the submitted material should not be changed unfairly.
Corrections and Updates
MongArchive accepts corrections when readers notice missing citations, broken links, spelling errors, date issues, unclear labels, or possible mistakes in archive material.
Corrections are reviewed before changes are made. Not every correction request will be accepted, but serious correction requests may be considered.
What Review Does Not Mean
Review does not mean MongArchive is a government archive, university archive, public records office, court of law, or final authority on historical truth.
MongArchive is an independent archive and research platform. Readers should use judgment, compare sources, and check important claims through credible materials whenever possible.
Submission and Correction Guidance
Before sending materials, contributors should review the Submit page and include as much source information as possible. Helpful details may include title, author, date, location, page number, archive link, image source, document background, interview context, or a short explanation of why the material may be useful.
Submissions and corrections are reviewed before publication. Some materials may require additional source information, permission, clarification, or formatting before they can be added to MongArchive.
Use the Submit page to review what types of materials may be sent to MongArchive, what details to include, and how submissions are handled before publication.
