Hello -- We're embarking on our first EAD retrospective conversion grant and we're having some trouble coming up with figures for our budget. If any of your institutions have had some experience with EAD retrospective conversion budgets, we would really appreciate your response to a couple of questions. 1. What is a reasonable number of pages two trained (20 hr/wk) students could convert in a year's time? 2. If we are calculating cost per page in our budget -- how much should we say each page is worth (i.e. this granting organization gives $1.00 per MARC record and $10.00 for original cataloging) I realize that these questions do not take into consideration such variables as reprocessing and non-electronic conversions, but we need some statistics to create a foundation for our calculations. Thank you all for your help in advance, Jessica Tanny _____________________________________________ Jessica Tanny, Processing Archivist University Archives | 420 Capen Hall University at Buffalo, State University of New York Buffalo, NY 14260 http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/archives/ tel. 716.645.2916 | [log in to unmask]
