[SOA] Call for Review and Contributions: Examples of Born-Digital Description in Finding Aids Resource

[Steven Gentry]

The Description of Born-Digital Material in Finding Aids Project Group of
the DLF Born-Digital Access Working Group (BDAWG)
<https://wiki.diglib.org/Born-Digital_Access_Working_Group> is happy to
announce its unveiling of the Examples of Born-Digital Description in
Finding Aids <https://borndigitaldescriptioninfindingaids.wordpress.com/>.
This resource links to a collection of finding aids that describe
born-digital material and organizes/tags them according to various
categories. In addition, the web page provides links to existing guidelines
for description of born-digital materials. We hope this resource will serve
a dual purpose:


   1.

   To compile a snapshot of descriptive practices for born-digital
   materials as of 2022.



   1.

   To facilitate the creation of born-digital description by providing
   examples of how other archivists are doing this work.


The project group wholeheartedly invites archivists to contribute
additional examples of finding aids with, or guidelines pertaining to,
born-digital description. If you know of such a finding aid or set of
guidelines, we want to hear from you!

To facilitate contributions to this portal, the subgroup has developed
three separate Google forms:
