Development of the Encoded Archival Description
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper providing an overview of the development of the Encoded Archival Description Document Type Definition (EAD DTD) standard and what it has meant for both archivists and researchers. Items buried in container lists are unlikely to surface in any systematic manual search, and manual searches require the physical presence of researchers. Development of the EAD DTD eliminated both of these severe restrictions. SGML encoding ensured that searches would return appropriate records, and electronic networking of the electronic records of items archived at various sites also could be searched with much greater ease than had been possible before. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
