Predecessors’ documents

• Press articles: A great many press cuttings were found. After a thorough examination of the press folder, we discovered that these were duplicates. They were removed from the archive.
• Subsidy applications: Subsidy applications are important documents. They reflect the company’s vision, mission, history and projects. It was decided to classify subsidy applications in two sections: operational and project subsidies. The operational subsidies were subsequently subdivided according to the institute from which the subsidy was requested (VGC and Flemish Government). The project subsidies were put with the production files; projects that were not implemented were kept together. There appeared to be copies of the subsidy application already in the production files. The duplicates could therefore be removed.
• Documentation: Relevant documentation was put in the library area. Other documentation was removed from the archive.
• Productions: Documents from various productions were found. These were put in the correct production file. Preliminary documents were also kept and put in the production files.
• Finances: Various ‘finance’ folders were stored in a cupboard. These contained accounting items. It was decided to store them according to the old order.
• ‘Post in’ box: These are the incoming letters of Tristero from the period 1993-2007. The outgoing letters might be in the production files and with the subsidy applications. It was decided to keep these documents according to the old arrangement because there was not enough time to re-classify the documents.
• Personnel folder: The previous business manager classified these documents in a different way from the current business manager. The documents were put into two boxes marked ‘Tristero personnel’ and supplemented with personnel documents from the current business manager.
