Dear Leslie,
I don’t have your email address; could you respond
off-list? I am interested in your CLIR processing/EAD project. I
have received internal SI funding for a large MLP project here at AAA which
will result in EAD finding aids. We have not yet adopted AT here at AAA –
we’ve been Cookbook EAD implementers since 1999 – but other SI
units have or are in the process of adopting AT. AAA has plans to
adopt AT for EAD creation in the spirit of collaboration, with the hope that
this will eventually lead to an SI-wide EAD consortia. All of that
aside, I am really interested in the # of linear feet you hope to process over
the 27 month project, and the # of staff/persons devoted to
processing.
Best,
Barbara D. Aikens

Dear Barbara...
In Philadelphia, a similar project is being undertaken by
PACSCL (Philadelphia
Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries). The Mellon Foundation
and CLIR (Council for Library and Information Resources) have been
funding these efforts.
Best, Leslie
