Barbara, Could you please send me the template as well? Thank you, Joanie Schwarz Archivist/Registrar Coronado Historical Association 1100 Orange Ave Coronado, CA 92118 From: OHRC <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Encoded Archival Description List <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Encoding Oral History Metadata Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 08:38:24 -0400 Our center used EAD to create a finding aid for our oral history archive, funded by a Preservation and Access grant from the NEH and in partnership with the Indiana University Digital Library Program, which maintains the finding aid along with the other EAD finding aids on campus (Lilly Library, University Archives, etc.). They are in the process of redesigning the portal for those finding aids and adding a search engine that will search within each finding aid. (And of course I'm finding typos I need to correct in our finding aid!) But you can check it out via our website: http://www.indiana.edu/~cshm/eadbrowse.html, and click on one of the alphabetical ranges, then on a project name to enter the finding aid for that project. And if you contact me offlist, I'll be happy to send you the EAD template we use for our records, so you can see how we used the tags. --Barbara Truesdell, Ph.D. Assistant Director Center for the Study of History and Memory Indiana University Bloomington Quoting Jordon Steele <[log in to unmask]>: >It doesn't look like EAD supports the level of encoding for Oral History >Metadata that I'm looking for (i.e. interviewer, interviewee, subject, >timestamp, etc.) Anyone know of a tag library that's been created for >this purpose?
