Last year (2000), the Australian Science and Technology Centre at The University of Melbourne, developed an EAD generator for our Access based archival processing tool, the Heritage Documentation Management System. You can find out more about the tool and the EAD project at http://www.austehc.unimelb.edu.au/HDMS/ and http://www.austehc.unimelb.edu.au/HDMS/findingaids.html respectively. Given that we already had a generator for HTML and print finding aids and had addressed some of the EAD application issues in that , it was reasonably straight forward to turn that into generation of EAD.
