I was surprised to see that the wiki is still online, which is good fortune. Here's a link to the wiki-fied finding aid: https://wiki.millersville.edu/display/libfa/Guide+to+the+T.C.H.+Jacobs+Literary+Papers%2C+1907-1974 And, since the link from the experimental wiki to the official finding aid is now broken, here's a direct link to that, as well: http://www.libraries.psu.edu/findingaids/4995.htm -----Original Message----- From: Custer, Mark Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 3:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: Finding aids as a wiki? Michele and Tim, Scott Anderson at Millersville University talked about turning finding aids into wikis at SAA's 2010 research forum, http://www2.archivists.org/proceedings/research-forum/2010.

It does sound like a fun experiment. And why not take it a step farther and output EAC-CPF records to Wikipedia, with links back to finding aids and digital collections? It would be interesting to see how descriptions evolved after being let loose into the wild... Tim -- Tim A.

Has anyone experimented with publishing EAD finding aids and/or EAC records as a wiki? For example, we could process all 2000+ of our finding aids and output a wiki with a page for each collection as well as for each person, with all the desired categories and interconnecting links that wikis are so good at. Plus you'd get the ease of comment/discussion that also comes with the wiki software. Seems like it would be a fun experiment. I'm pretty sure somebody has already done this but I can't seem to find any examples. Anybody know of one?
