The Descriptive Notes editorial team is pleased to announce the publication of the second in our five-piece collaborative series with TS-EAS on the ongoing revision to Encoded Archival Description (EAD).
In "Shape the Future of EAD: A Call to Action – Part II," Kerstin Arnold, Cory Nimer, and Mary Samouelian discuss aligning EAD with its sibling standard, Encoded Archival Context – Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF).

Please note this information from the end of the blog post:
What Can I Do to Participate?
The first draft of EAD 4.0 has been published as of last week and will be kept open for community feedback until the end of July. To make sure that the updated version of EAD fits our community's requirements and that the benefits of a new version of EAD outweigh the challenges of transitioning from one version to another, the members of the EAD sub-team want to hear your comments, questions, suggestions, and concerns about EAD 4.0. You can provide feedback via GitHub or the TS-EAS email, ts-eas@archivists.org. We will also offer several informal drop-in sessions online between April and June to discuss and ask questions, starting with an introductory session on how to contribute to the call for comments this week Wednesday, April 24, 4pm UTC (open for registration). We are not doing this work alone!
