TS-EAS and EAS Section Joint Meeting (2023 Meeting)

 

When:  Jun 20, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM (CT)

DESCRIPTION

Please join TS-EAS and the EAS Section for a joint meeting on June 20th. This year, our annual meeting will include updates from TS-EAS and EAS Section leaders, SAA Council, and the Building a National Finding Aid Network (NAFAN) project. We will also host a moderated panel and discussion on archival agent records, which are increasingly becoming access points for archival discovery. We will prepare questions for our panelists around topics such as linking to and leveraging data in platforms such as Wikidata and name authority files such as VIAF, highlighting communities and individuals historically under or misrepresented in archival description, and the representation of personal identities such as gender. We invite all attendees to participate in this discussion, and welcome audience questions. We will conclude with presentations on EAF (Encoded Archival Functions) and on the EAD major revision process underway. 

The agenda for the EAS Section / TS-EAS meeting is as follows:

·         Updates and announcements from:

o    SAA Council (Stephen R. Curley and Lydia Tang)
