[SOA] OhioLINK EAD Draft Content Guidelines Available

[Toni Jeske]

Dear SOA Members,

OhioLINK is creating and hosting a statewide repository of archival finding aids to increase access to and showcase the rich collections housed in Ohio archival repositories. In December 2004, the OhioLINK Database Management and Standards Committee (DMSC) appointed an Encoded Archival Description (EAD) Task Force to develop standards and guidelines for the creation and use of electronic finding aids within the OhioLINK repository.  During its first year, the Task Force created Content Guidelines defining the range of requirements - from "minimally encoded" to "fully encoded" - needed to contribute a finding aid to the EAD repository. The content guidelines and tools will encourage consistency across Ohio EAD finding aids.

This message is to inform you that the draft of the OhioLINK EAD Content Guidelines is now available for viewing online.  As the EAD Task Force continues to develop specifications for the online repository, we would appreciate comments from the Ohio archival community on the Content Guidelines.

Please send comments, questions, and suggestions to our blog, from the link provided on the Content Guidelines page:
