Dear All,
Me,too. I need a lot of information about pulling the records together.

Subject: <archdescgrp> question
We are in the early stages of implementing EAD. We want to describe our
archival record groups primarily at the series level as separate EAD
instances, and we want to create an instance that represents the parent
record that will link all of the series together. Using the EAD
elements, <eadgrp>, <archdescgrp> and <dscgrp> seems to be the way to do
this, but we are struggling a bit to figure out how to apply these
elements. So, first question, are we correct in thinking that this is
the best way to go about achieving our goal and, second, would someone
who has used these elements in this fashion be willing to supply a
sample document or documents?
