The Manuscripts Department, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
is happy to have added to its website (http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/)
on the finding aids page (http://www.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv.html) the
following paragraph:
"The Manuscripts Department is pleased to announce the implementation
of Encoded Archival Description (EAD). The EAD Document Type Definition
(DTD) is a standard for encoding archival finding aids using the Standard
Generalized Markup Lanugage (SGML). Finding aids encoded in SGML using
the EAD DTD can be viewed using the Panorama Viewer. SGML-encoded finding
aids are also offered in HTML versions, which do not require a special
viewer. SGML/HTML-encoded finding aids include:
Papers of slave trader and plantation owner Rice C. Ballard;
Papers of poet Jeffery Beam;
Papers of playwright Paul Green;
Papers of novelist Jill McCorkle; and
Records of the Southern Growth Policies Board, a public reserach
agency."
