    Dear Colleagues,

    Descriptive Notes is pleased to share the second post in its Remote Description series: "Remote Transcription of Legacy Finding Aids at Cornell's Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections," by Ben Wrubel. Read it here: https://saadescription.wordpress.com/2021/10/05/remote-transcription-of-legacy-finding-aids/

    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Descriptive Notes is also issuing a call for its next series: Favorite Finding Aids. Do you have a finding aid that presented a particular descriptive challenge, an opportunity for collaboration, or perhaps a test of new descriptive guidelines? Is there a finding aid that you find innovative, stylistically elegant, or particularly well-researched? This is your opportunity to celebrate the art in addition to the method of archival description.

    For this series, please pitch us a short description of your submission idea by Monday, October 18, 2021. We also always welcome posts on a rolling basis for our other series, as well as any other articles, announcements and updates, shared resources, and visual content relating to issues of archival description.

    Send all pitches to SAAdescription@gmail.com. You can view previous posts and series here: saadescription.wordpress.com. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to your submissions!

    Best,
    Lori Dedeyan, on behalf of the Descriptive Notes Editorial Team
