Description:  

Beginning in late 2003, EAD guides have been created in house for all newly processed manuscript collections. Funding for the creation of the EAD guides was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Existing basic html finding aids for older collections are also being converted to EAD format. There are currently over 370 EAD guides available on the website.

Encoding Procedure:  

EAD guides are currently being created in XMetal 2.0 by manually entering data.

Delivery Mechanism:  

XML coded EAD guides are converted to html and uploaded to the website using in house software. Currently they are only being displayed in html format, not xml. They are listed alphabetically in a browse list, and manually added to other subject based browse lists and can be searched with the EAD search engine. Non-EAD finding aids can also be searched using a separate search engine. Eventually, links to EAD guides will be available through OPAC records for individual manuscript collections.
