The Descriptive Notes editorial team is pleased to announce the publication of our third piece in our collaborative series with TS-EAS.
In "Shape the Future of EAD - A Call to Action Part III," Kerstin Arnold, Cory Nimer, and Mary Samouelian outline new ways to encode relationship information (between archival materials, records creators, and other bibliographic resources) in EAD 4.0.

What Can I Do to Participate?
The first draft of EAD 4.0 was published on 19 April 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, our web form, or the TS-EAS email, ts-eas@archivists.org. We are not doing this work alone!
Furthermore, we are happy to invite you to one of our remaining informal drop-in sessions to discuss the main features of the new version:
Tuesday, 18 June, 6am UTC (open for registration)
Tuesday, 9 July, 4pm UTC (open for registration)
The recording of our previous sessions can be found on SAA's YouTube channel.
