Encoding Efforts for Manuscripts Guides

Encoding Efforts for Manuscripts Guides

Special Collections has been encoding its guides in EAD (Encoded Archival Description), an SGML/XML markup language specifically designed for encoding guides to archival and manuscript collections, and publishing them on the web since 1995. Since that time, the Special Collections staff have encoded slightly over 80% of the guides to the manuscripts holdings of SUL/AIR.

The Department has now begun a major push to get the remainder of its guides to its manuscript collections encoded and published on the web within the next two months. Periodically, therefore, we will submit lists of guides which have recently been converted from old text documents (i.e. Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Multi Mate, etc.) and published online.
