-Welcome to Specify Developer Documentation
+# Specify Internal Documentation
+
+This repository contains our internal documentation for Specify Collections Consortium staff.
+
+This site uses [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) as a framework and is built using `github-pages`. You can view the [deployment history here](https://github.com/specify/specify.github.io/deployments/github-pages).
+
+
+
+## Contribution Guidelines
+- Do **not commit** sensitive information. This is a public repository.
+- Docs that are useful or relevant to users of Specify should instead be pushed to the [**Speciforum**](discourse.specifysoftware.org), not this repository.
+- Docs added to this repository should be removed from their original location (e.g. Google Drive, ResFS, OneDrive, etc.) after it is committed.
+- Be kind, considerate, and thoughtful.
+
+## Contribute
+
+Contribution for this repository is limited only to SCC staff.
+
+1. Clone the repository
+
+    ```bash
+    gh repo clone specify/specify.github.io
+    ```
+
+2. Create a new `.md` or `.rst` file under the appropriate directory (e.g. `server_management`, `testing`, `security`, etc.) or create a new directory to begin a new category.
+
+    ```bash
+    ├── LICENSE
+    ├── README.md
+    ├── environment.yml
+    ├── requirements-docs.txt
+    └── sphinx
+        ├── Makefile
+        ├── asset_server
+        ├── aws
+        ├── conf.py
+        ├── dev_process
+        ├── dwc_alignment
+        ├── index.rst
+        ├── make.bat
+        ├── misc
+        ├── processes
+        ├── scripts
+        ├── security
+        ├── server_management
+        ├── software_desc
+        └── testing
+    ```
+
+    For example, I may want to add `reports.md` to the repository under `server_management`, so I would add this below like so:
+
+    ```bash
+    └── sphinx
+        └── server_management
+            ├── check_asset_usage.md
+            └── reports.md
+    ```
+
+3. Preview, proofread, and double-check your document for accuracy. Once saved, the file will be available at this URL (after the base domain)
+
+    ```
+    /server_management/reports.html
+    ```
+
+4. You can add this to the sidebar and homepage by adding it to the `index.rst` file in the `./sphinx/` directory under the appropriate category. You just need to add the path to your file within that directory minus the file extension (no `.md` or `.rst`).
+
+    If the category you want does not yet exist, you can add a new one in the same format and structure as the others.
+
+    ```rst
+    .. toctree::
+    :maxdepth: 1
+    :caption: Server Management:
+
+    server_management/check_asset_usage
+    server_management/reports
+    ```
+
+5. Save and commit to the `main` branch of this repository on GitHub. GitHub will automatically update the pages site (https://specify.github.io/) within minutes and the document will be available publicly.
