The Society of American Archivists has recently published
ENCODED ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION: CONTEXT, THEORY AND CASE STUDIES
This book makes available in a single volume the twelve articles that
were
published in the summer and fall 1997 issues of the _American Archivist_
(vol. 60, nos. 3&4), which appeared in August/September 1998. The
authors
of the six context and theory papers all were members of the original
EAD
development team. They explore the context within which EAD was
developed,
the essentials of its structured approach to encoding finding aid data,
and the role that EAD is meant to play in individual repositories and
for
the archival profession as a whole. The six case studies were written by
archivists at Harvard University, the Library of Congress, the Minnesota
Historical Society, the Univ. of Vermont, the Univ. of Virginia, and
Yale
University. Edited by Jackie Dooley.
Published by Society of American Archivists (1998). 178 pp., soft cover.
