We are creating the box and folder description part of our finding aids in
an Access database that we then mail merge with a template to created the
c01, c02 tagging, etc. Then that all gets pasted into a WordPerfect xml
document. The rest of the finding aid is encoded in WordPerfect.

Greetings.
What methods do people have for creating NEW finding aids
in EAD? I
dread the thought of creating in MS Word as usual and then
converting.
I'm sure others have worked out better methods; I'd
appreciate hearing
about them. Thanks in advance for sharing.
