Encoded Archival Standards: A Primer

The purpose of this primer is to give an overview of the encoding standards supported by the Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Standards. It should provide archivists, curators, administrators, and developers with a basic familiarity of Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and Encoded Archival Context - Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (EAC-CPF), the two formal standards used pervasively by the international archives community. Presented by Betts Coup (Society of American Archivists, Encoded Archival Standards Steering Committee 2020-2021 Co-Chair). Content developed by Katherine M. Wisser (Associate Professor and Director, Archives Management Concentration, School of Library and Information Science, Simmons University), with Betts Coup, Adrian Turner, and Caitlin Wells.
