Thanks Marsha,
This is encouraging. Megan is a member of both ARSC and AMIA so she may
be interested in participating, or at the very least eager to learn of
any progress.

Subject: EAD examples for audio
Barbara and everyone,
The Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound at the New York
Public Library has also prepared finding aids that describe sound
recordings; see http://www.nypl.org/research/lpa/rha/collect.cfm UCLA
Performing Arts and Special Collections also has examples you might
check, such as http://www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt4r29q7sc
By the way, a subcommittee of the Association for Recorded Sound
Collections (ARSC) Cataloging Committee is working on content guidelines
for applying DACS to archival sound recordings. I believe there is also
an (American Moving Image Association) AMIA group working on a similar
project for moving image materials. Both projects are being undertaken
with the knowledge of the DACS Working Group. The recorded sound project
won't address EAD tagging specifically, but it will provide guidance on
devising titles for unpublished sound recordings as well as formulating
physical descriptions and various notes. We're in the early stages of
the project, but we will seek feedback and ideas as we proceed.
If you'd like more information, contact me at [log in to unmask] (I'm chairing
the subcommittee).
Many thanks.
