Register for upcoming sessions of this course
Course description
Encoded Archival Description (EAD) is emerging from theory into practice as organizations expand the number of digitized archival collections that they manage. This workshop provides advice for organizations that want to implement the EAD standard and develop internal best practices for the use of the EAD version 2002 encoding standard. The workshop will cover issues relating to preparation before encoding including the implementation of DACS (Describing Archives a Content Standard) and Greene and Meissner's notion of more product, less process. Includes discussion of techniques and practices for encoding finding aides; reviews national EAD best practices and support sites as well as providing examples drawn from such projects as the Northwest Digital Archive (NWDA) and the California Digital Library (CDL).
What you will learn
- Understanding the complexities of managing archival collections using EAD;
- Creating practical workflow models for using EAD; and
- Practice in applying the principles and theory.
