William Smith College Charter Class
August 7, 2007
Well I got the finding aid for the charter class files up today with no problems using the EAD Cookbook and Notetab. Still the most reliable method.
EAD and Archivists Toolkit
August 3, 2007
I just finished put William Smith Charter Class finding aid in EAD using Notebook and the Cookbook clips.
This is one I exported from AT, and could not get to parse in Notebook before attaching the style sheet. I spent a number of hours going over the AT code line by line trying to find the problem. What ever it was it eluded me. So today, deciding I wanted to finally finish this project, I did it again by cutting and pasting from the AT xml into Notebook. It parsed, so I feel certain all is well.
Tuesday I’ll do my best to get it up on the server.
Office of Communications going paperless
August 3, 2007
Our office of communications has decided to get rid of their paper files. They are sending all of their faculty information files to me. I’ll fold them into what is becoming a huge collection. They have two sets of files, current and past faculty. I’ll put them all into one alphabetical series. It makes you wonder (again) about the future, since these files will no longer be updated. I know, from my own work flow, that this will be much more efficient for them, but where are the archives of tomorrow coming from?
