To EAD implementors and developers,

Archives and Museum Informatics: the cultural heritage quarterly, a
peer-reviewed journal published by Kluwer Academic Publishing,  will be
devoting a special issue entirely to the EAD (Encoded Archival Description
standard) to be published in the Fall of 1999. This issue is being
guest-edited by Richard Rinehart of the UC Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film
Archive and Anne Gilliland-Swetland of UCLA's Department of Library &
Information Science.

We would like to invite the EAD community to submit articles about your
experiences with the EAD in project implementations, development, research,
theory, or as a user of EAD-based resources. One emphasis of this issue
will be on the cross-community application of the EAD, so we welcome
articles from the broad library, archive, academic, and museum communities,
as well as articles which are specifically about cross-community projects
or issues.

Article abstracts would be due March 1. Article abstracts would need not be
formal or long, but should indicate the topic and rough length of the
article. Actual article submission deadline would be June 1. Peer review by
the Archives and Museum Informatics panel will determine which articles are
finally included.

If you have any thoughts, questions, or might be able to recommend a good
person or project for inclusion, please contact Richard Rinehart
([log in to unmask]) or Anne Gilliland-Swetland
([log in to unmask]). You may also find out more about the journal at

Thank you,


Richard Rinehart
