Sandra,

SAA has a number of publications relating to EAD.  Their publications
catalog is available online at
http://www.archivists.org/catalog/index.asp

I'd particularly recommend the "EAD:  Context, Theory, and Case Studies" as
a place to start.

sorry}


I have been a long time lurker and I must admit this is wonderful listserv
for a MLIS student with a passion for digital archival.  I do have one
question......my curriculum at school does not teach anything related to
EAD, SGML, archival in general and most of my teachings have been self
study.  I have been reading quite a bit on SGML and seem to understand
enough to move onto XML and EAD.  Can anyone recommend a book that starts at
the bottom, very bottom of EAD so I can do self study?  The websites are
very helpful but they are  not enough it seems.  Am I maybe looking in the
wrong place?  I am a member of the SAA and ARMA so if there are books
offered through associations please feel free to refer.

Thank you from a knowledge hungry MLIS student in advance!
