Marsha, Thanks for the information. I'll give it a try. Lois A.

Lois, Our NWDA project has a "Tools for Users" section that provides info for Northwest Digital Archives participants on how to get started. It's set up for users of XMetaL authoring software since most NWDA participants use XMetaL. I think it's a little easier that the Cookbook for getting started. Here's the URL: http://nwda.wsulibs.wsu.edu/tools.htm The NWDA XML template might be of use to you, although you'd want to take out the note that thanks the NEH for supporting the NWDA! (Just open the template file in XMetaL, delete the NEH note, and save the file.) I hope this helps.

Marsha, I have been trying to get ready to transfer my current, simple finding aid to EAD and wondering what my first steps should be. I have many, many files downloaded but I'm not sure where to begin. I suppose I need to read the directions from the EAD Cookbook again, but that seems rather a daunting task. Any pointers will be appreciated. Lois A.

Hi, all, Has anyone linked component-level EAD descriptions to digitized audio or video via <daogrp>? If so, how'd you do it (or can you point me to examples)? One of our curators would like to link finding aid entries to digital video clips (the fairly short clips will be made from digital videotapes of original films, I believe). Would the component entry include time code info? Would it make sense to have a <c0x> entry for, say, a physical item like a film or video, and then link either from that entry or from subordinate entries to the digital video clip files, with time code numbers identifying where the content is on the original item? (It's probably clear from the way I'm asking that I'm new to this!) Also, an NWDA participant (Northwest Digital Archives) is interested in linking to digitized audio of oral history interviews. Any help will be appreciated. Many thanks. Marsha Maguire Manuscripts and Special Collections Cataloging Librarian University of Washington Libraries P.O.
