Description:   Participating institutions: Centre College Eastern Kentucky University Filson Club Historical Society Georgetown College Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives Kentucky Historical Society Kentucky State University Morehead State University University of Kentucky University of Louisville Western Kentucky University
Encoding Procedure:  

Local migrations from databases to construct container lists and then using the template generator to produce the finding aid markup down to the container list. When migrating from a database or Excel file, we devised export methods for globally introducing the majority of the tagging required for the container lists. Findaids are technically parsed twice, once by NSGMLs and a second time by the Dynaweb mkbook indexer/parser. We also outsourced the re-keying of ~17,000 pages of paper finding aids with APEX data services. We index the finding aids with Dynaweb's mkbook application.

Delivery Mechanism:  

Native XML compliant SGML with HTML-on-the-fly.
