Related to this, does anyone know if there are any outfits out there that
hire people to create EAD finding aids from paper records? I often thought
that is might be a perfect telecommuter job. Anyone heard of such a thing?
Would that be a useful service that institutions might use?

Subject: Experienced encoder neede
The New York Public Library's Dance Division is looking for an outside
source of experienced encoders. We have a large number of paper finding
aids that we wish to have converted to EAD to mount on our website. Is
there a network, formal or informal, which I can contact? Any reply, on or
off the list, would be most appreciated.
