Some of our older collections have their correspondence arranged chronologically; the finding aid then includes, at the end, an index to correspondence, in this form: Acevedo, Cristobal de 1962 Feb 5 1962 Mar 16 1962 Sep 10 American Oxonian 1947 Mar 13 (Denham Sutcliffe) Amis, Kingsley, 1922- 1957 Nov 9 1958 Jan 6 1958 Jan 21 1958 Aug 22 ...etc. We want this included in our finding aid, and we want "Index to correspondence" to appear in the auto-generated table of contents. Unfortunately, the <index> construction in EAD requires the <ref target=""> element, more suitable for traditional indexes with page numbers; it doesn't really work for something like this. So I'm wondering if, and if so how, others have chosen to encode such indexes to correspondence. As a simple nested list? In a separate file as a related finding aid? Other options?
